**- Allicin percentage:

The flavonoids in onion tend to be more concentrated in the outer layers of the flesh. To maximize your health benefits, peel off as little of the fleshy, edible portion as possible when removing the onion's outermost paper layer. Even a small amount of "overpeeling" can result in unwanted loss of flavonoids. For example, a red onion can lose about *0% of its quercetin and almost *5% of its anthocyanins if it is "overpeeled."The total polyphenol content of onions is much higher than many people expect
