No doubt about the benefits of onion. It not only adds taste to your food but also provide so many health benefits.
You could also eat an apple like an onion. Both onions and apples are great sources of quercetin--as is grapefruit. But grapefruit has so much quercetin that it can actually interfere with the way some of your liver's enzymes work.
