I love raw onion for its spiciness. Not only does it have great health benefits, but it really makes certain dishes pop like pico de gallo, chili, salads...etc.

Appreciate the health benefits but not sure if I can do raw onions or onion juice.

Are you why does everything healthy have to taste so bad? Why can’t chocolate just be healthy?

Well, I will try to add an article on health benefits of choclates.

About onion, you can use it in your fresh vegetable salad (Carrot, Cocumber, Beet), Chopped fine. Also add some boiled beans and grams in it. Sprinkle some black pepper, lemon juice and salt over it. It will taste good.

yes it's nice in salad. My son can grab an onion and eat it like an apple since he was a baby. And chillies - not me :)

Thank you <3

Vegetables have so many good things that you will not need medicines. But we all are careless and ignore simple and cheap things and prefer costly medicines.

Onion is being used by most of the people but you need to be careful if you have acid reflux problem. Onion is not suitable to those people with acid reflux.

OK. Thanks for the enlightenment

Apreeciate your writing! We often comeacross over such things and specially vegitables but we are less aware about the facts and figure! This is usefull for me

Agree 100% on the subject. I eat onion like an apple and sometimes I have weird looks.
I don't care I like it and you are proving that I am right

No doubt about the benefits of onion. It not only adds taste to your food but also provide so many health benefits.

You could also eat an apple like an onion. Both onions and apples are great sources of quercetin--as is grapefruit. But grapefruit has so much quercetin that it can actually interfere with the way some of your liver's enzymes work.

When one of my family member got sick like a flu or a cold, I cut an onion in to pieces and put in on a little plate. This onion comes next to their bed or during the day next to the sofa! And it helps a lot to be able to breath through the nose easily and to get well soon!
I repeat that every day till they are healthy again.
