Question

Jaldi,onion,Parvati belong to which of the following categories?

Answer 1

Onions and their relatives, which include leeks, garlic, and shallots, are known botanically as alliums that belong to the lily family. When you slice into alliums their sulphur containing amino acids come into contact with enzymes that form volatile compounds by turning it into sulfuric acid. These compounds irritate the eyes and can affect the tongue. The older the allium the stronger the compounds become. Fortunately cooking can make these compounds milder
