Red onions are available throughout the year and are high in flavonoids [3] and fiber (compared to white and yellow onions). [4] Cut red onion can be soaked in cool water for a period of time, and the water can be drained off, resulting in less "bite" and pungency. [5]
The twincrest onion is a perennial at altitudes ranging from 2000 to 2900 meters. It grows to between ten and forty cm high. The onion bulbs are round and egg-shaped. The bulbs have a light tint and when cut, have a powerful odor. The flower heads are about 10–15 mm in length. The flowers are varying shades of purple or pink.
The epidermal layers are removed by cutting the onion and peeling them off (they are the membrane-like sheaths between each onion layer). For advanced microscopy, such as fluorescence microscopy, the layers halfway between the outside and the centre of the onion are best. Light microscopes are typically used for observing onion cells.

The release is due to the breaking open of the onion cells, which releases enzymes called alliinases. Alliinases then break down amino acid sulfoxides , generating sulfenic acids . A specific sulfenic acid, allicin or 1-propenesulfenic acid, is rapidly rearranged by another enzyme, the lachrymatory factor synthase (LFS) to give syn ...
