Delight in the wonder of ordinary things comes from wisdom. 💡🕯️ Some food wisdom about ONIONS for you today. We had a delightful time picking some onions at a nonprofit farm that one of our research partners, Dr. Leah Whigham, works with today. They grow some large ones!

It turns out the onion flowers have an incredible onion flavor to them! Have you ever tried them? They reminded me of the flavor of fried onions that are often served on top of biryani.

Onions are in almost every Indian dish that we eat. It’s tempting to dismiss them as ordinary. Or perhaps, there is a good reason we have come to love them so much?

Indeed, the research shows that onions have sulfurous compounds in them that are anticarcinogenic. In particular, they seem to be terrific for preventing gastrointestinal cancers. In studies their consumption is associated with a lower incidence of cancer.

As my colleague Dr. Holly Nicastro wrote in a publication on this topic, “studies highlight potential mechanisms of individual sulfur-containing compounds and of various preparations and extracts of these vegetables, including decreased bioactivation of carcinogens, antimicrobial activities, and redox modification.”
