When I began using natural remedies over 10 years ago, I was so surprised at the remedies I could use from foods I had in my kitchen. Onions are one of those. Many people don’t realize how they have natural medicine cabinets sitting in their fridges and cabinets. Onions give flavor to dishes, but they also provide important nutrients. Onions contain iron, folic acid, calcium, fiber, and are high in vitamin C. Do you know they also contain the antioxidant, Quercetin? Quercetin fights aging, diseases, and cancer; it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol while helping to raise the good cholesterol. {Source}
I absolutely love the fact that a simple kitchen food can help me keep my family well!
I have always enjoyed ONIONS. Now I have a reason to continue. One Question I do have… Do I lose the nutritious value when frying or cooking in foods?
You do lose some nutritious value when cooking them. Lightly sautéing is best. Thanks for the question!
Onions taste amazing and out so versatile in cooking … love that it has so much nutritional value!
Me too, Andy!
