Abstract in brief

Onions (Allium cepa L) are a widely cultivated vegetable, second only to tomatoes, with global production increasing significantly over the past decade due to their versatility, durability for shipping, and cultural acceptance.
They contain beneficial chemical groups such as flavonoids (like quercetin) and alkenyl cysteine sulphoxides (ACSOs), which are linked to health benefits including cancer prevention, blood clot prevention, and antimicrobial effects.
Recent research, including clinical studies, suggests that onion extracts may offer various health advantages, and the review compares these findings with garlic (Allium sativum) to highlight similar bioactive properties.
