The onion, also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium. Onions contain organic sulfur compounds. These compounds are the reason why onions have such a sharp, strong taste and smell. Organic sulfur compounds help reduce the level of cholesterol in your body and may also help break down blood clots, lowering your risk for heart disease and stroke.
