ALLIUM (ONION):
Allium is a genus of 550 - 700 species of flowering plants that include onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives. Allium is the Latin word for garlic, but its common name is onion, and it has been cultivated for many years as an important food crop or garden vegetable. Its flowers form an umbel at the top of a leafless stalk, and its bulbs vary in size depending on the species. The characteristic onion/garlic taste and odor comes from chemical compounds called cysteine sulfoxides, and the pungency depends on the sulfate content of the soil that it grows in.
