Many of the texts prohibit eating them. Here are a few references. Some Taoist texts also speak against them.

 

Manu Smriti 5.5

Garuda Purana 1.97.3 (68-71)

Skanda Purana 40.9

Siva Purana 7.10-12

Padma Purana Vol. 42, 4.56.19 -24

Varaha Purana 16.11-15

Agni Purana 173.37

Best,

Seasons greetings!

Many Asian spiritual traditions prohibit the eating of onion and garlic. Where does that rule come from? Shastra-based?

All help appreciated.
