Onions are very low in calories and fats. 100 grams carry just 40 calories. However, rich in soluble dietary fiber.
Phyto-chemical compounds allium and Allyl disulphide in the onions convert into allicinby enzymatic reaction when its modified leaves are distorted (crushing, cutting, etc). Studies have shown that these compounds have anti-mutagenic (protects from cancers) and anti-diabetic properties (helps lower blood sugar levels in diabetics).
