Tag: Allium avoidance

According to the National Institutes of Health, allium vegetables are rich in health-promoting sulfur compounds and flavonoids. If you stop eating onion and garlic, you may experience notable changes to your digestive system, breath, and the overall flavor profile of your meals.

Less than 1% of the world's population follows a vegan diet, yet there's a common misconception that all vegans avoid garlic, an allium that is botanically a vegetable. This avoidance isn't actually rooted in standard vegan principles, but rather in specific religious, cultural, or personal health reasons that are often confused with a typical vegan lifestyle.
