    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:
    Onions contain a flavonoid called quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Cooking increases the total amount of flavonoids. Red and yellow onions have more flavonoids than white onions. Bake or sauté onions for 5 minutes; any longer and the onion will begin to lose nutrients.
