Bunium noeanum

Bunium noeanum, also known as the Turkish onion or winter onion, is a type of perennial plant native to the mountainous regions of the Middle East and the Balkans.

It is characterized by its strong onion-like scent and flavor, which is attributed to the presence of sulfur-containing compounds.

Traditionally, Bunium noeanum has been used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory issues such as bronchitis and coughs, due to its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The plant is often prepared as a dried powder or an infusion, and it can also be used in herbal preparations such as teas, tinctures, and ointments to harness its health benefits.
