Onions Are Antioxidants

February 1, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Onions can be powerful antioxidants and anti-browning agents, according to Spanish researchers. Onion waste was made into a paste and mildly pasteurized, and was found to contain high levels of quercetin and antioxidant activity, says the report in Food Chemistry. More than 450,000 tonnes of onion waste are produced in the European Union each year.
