Onion seed oil accounts for 38% of the oil and is responsible for its aromatic taste. The seeds are used in cooking as flavoring agents. To maximize the fragrance of the seeds, they must be toasted. When you cut an onion, some of the onion's cells break open. Following that, certain chemicals respond.
