Why are these nasty motherfuckers so popular all over the world?

It's a flavour enhancer, if anything.

>>8329212
>those reasons

You know for a 5 year old you have some good grammatical structuring.

I stopped adding onion to everything I make that calls for it and haven't noticed a difference at all. Once its cooked well, you might as well replace it with half a tsp of brown sugar for cheaper results.

easy to grow is true, but even though its repugnant, nasty bugs like fruit flies love it. When I was a kid, I did a science fair project on what fruit flies love and onions came in third place, below lemons and bananas.

sorry but from raw to caramelized, from salad to stuffed meat, onion is the single most versatile, perpetually delicious and dramatically wonderful vegetable to exist. oh god how sad would life be if onion wasnt around?

>>8329212
>cook it and most of the flavor is gone

This is incorrect

>third most popular vegetable in the world

Because the flavor of an onion is essential to savory cooking.

Horrible thread

onions are a meme

Thanks for putting that in my head.
Fuck that show.

>You know; for a five-year-old, your grammatical structuring is impeccable.

>Not using proper sentence breaks for conjoining colloquial slang.
>Using the actual number instead of the written word without dashes for any number less than one hundred.
>Using the preposition "good" as a descriptive observation is simply lazy.

Onion and other alums, such as garlic, enhance the bio-availability of minerals in foods they are cooked with. For example, if you're eating beans, they contain phytic acid which is an anti-nutrient that blocks some mineral absorption, but also has some health benefits (anti-cancer mainly). But by eating your beans with onions, you can more or less cancel out the negative effects of phytic acid and make the meal healthier.

Onions themselves are almost like a spice, they add flavor without adding much calories. Try making a soubise sauce and then compare that to plain bechamel, for example - you get a creamier, more flavorful sauce, without adding many more calories.
