onion juice

Liquid from bulbs

Onion juice is the liquid extracted from onions, typically by crushing, blending, or pressing.

It's used in cooking for concentrated onion flavor, in folk remedies for everything from hair growth to earaches, and occasionally in household applications: She applied onion juice to her scalp.

The smell is potent and lingering.
