[Vitamin composition of wild onion species]
Abstract:
The data on vitamins C, B1, B2, A, E and carotenoids content in fresh-cut leaves of some species of genus of Allium cultivated in the Main Botanical garden (Moscow) are submitted. Their significance as these nutrients source is evaluated. Onion leaves usually used as flavor-odour additive (10-20 g) give only 1-4 per cent of vitamin B group and E daily recommended allowance. At the same time this quantity supply with vitamin C (20 per cent of vitamin C daily recommended allowance) and carotenoids (20-50 per cent).
