White/Green foods such as artichokes, asparagus, celery, chives, endive,garlic, green pears, mushrooms, onions, and scallion offer important health benefits.
Onions, potatoes, and garlic are especially rich in allyl sulfides, which help prevent stomach and colon cancer and may lower cholesterol.
Onions are also a good source of quercetin, which protects against cancer and possibly heart disease. The rest contain flavonoids, a large class of phytonutrients linked to preventing heart disease.
