Onions Are Extremely Good for You—Here Are 3 Healthy Benefits to Prove It
realsimple ^

Posted on 01/20/2022 11:25:07 AM PST by mylife

Walk into your grocery store's produce aisle or stroll through the local farmers market and you'll likely see a plethora of onion options—there are actually 21 different types! Onions are a vegetable species within the genus allium, along with similar aromatic bulbs like garlic, leeks, chives, and shallots. (While these other well-known veggies aren't onions themselves, they are in the same vegetable family and yield many health benefits, too.) Whole onions should last in your pantry or other cool, dry, dark place (not the fridge) for about two weeks—but don't store them next to potatoes, which emit gas and moisture that can quickly spoil onions. If you have leftover onion that's already been cut, pop it in a resealable bag in the fridge to stay fresh for about a week (you can also store it in a container in the freezer)

Grow your own.

There are lots of good, long storage onions on the market.

If the onions you buy in the store only last two weeks when you get them home, guess how fresh they are NOT.

If you smell like Listerine® or mouthwash, stay away from me.

If your breath smells like garlic and onions, we're friends

If you eat a raw onion every day, people will stay 6 feet away from you.

Sounds weird but a grilled onion and peanut butter sandwich is great.

No wonder I’m so healthy. For decades one of my go to snacks is a sweet onion, a pickle and cheese. I’ve modified a bit, and have to be careful if my wife is around, but I’ve eaten sweet onions almost like an apple.

My grand daughter at ORU, is taking a course of Data Collecting. I wonder if everyone who died of Covid, if they asked them if they ate LOTS of onions, how many would say they didn’t. IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PLANDEMIC. I tuned in and followed the advice of a Nurtrionist. I figured we all pick our advisers. The Nurtrionist talked about GBOMBS. GREENS, BEANS, ONIONS, MUSHROOMS, BERRIES AND SEEDS. It has worked for me. That is why I LOVE Whataburger..they are loaded with onions. Maybe if everyone ate Whataburger, the Covid deaths would go down.
