The 30 Healthiest Foods You Could Ever Eat

Onions (Allium Vegetables)

The allium family of vegetables includes aromatic staples like onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, and scallions. Some of the compounds contained in these vegetables — which give them their distinctive, pungent odor — are also what make them so good for you. They’re a good source of allyl sulfides and saponins, which are thought to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and even hinder or prevent tumor growth. These vegetables also contain antioxidants called quercetins, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory properties that are crucial for anyone with inflammatory or auto-immune disorders like arthritis, according to an article on JoyBauer.com.
