In addition to this, it is notable to point out that onions are a major source of a unique compound known as quercetin. Quercetin is a flavonoid believed to prevent growth of cancer cells and interfere with the development of cancer. Similar to garlic, onions and shallots seem to be most helpful in cancers of the digestive tract (e.g. esophagus, stomach, and colon).   The active anticancer compounds are only released when the vegetable is chewed, crushed, or chopped. Fresh onions and shallots are the best source of anticancer compounds. Chopping them and adding them raw to foods such as salsa, pasta, or salads are easy ways to include them in your daily intake.
