What are the health benefits of onions? How to eat the healthiest?

Onion is an indispensable dish in our daily diet. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Generally speaking, it may appear more as a side dish. Onions include white onions and purple onions. You can eat it raw or fried. Onions have high nutritional value, which can reduce cholesterol, promote digestion and absorption, diminish inflammation and fall in love.

Onion contains prostaglandin A, which can reduce peripheral vascular resistance and blood viscosity, and can be used for lowering blood pressure, refreshing, relieving stress and preventing colds. In addition, onion can also scavenge oxygen free radicals in the body, enhance metabolism, resist aging and prevent osteoporosis. It is a health food suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, in the daily diet, this dish is essential and should be eaten often.

If a person's stomach is better, eating onions raw is actually the best. For example, you can eat onions raw when you eat jiaozi or big steamed bread. Some red-skinned onions are sweet and not spicy. In addition, you can cut onions into small pieces and mix cold dishes with fungus.

Now we can all eat onions when eating in restaurants. For example, some iron pot stews basically have onions as side dishes. And steak and onions.

Personally, I still like onions. Both raw and cooked food are suitable, but my wife is more difficult to accept onions, radishes and cabbage, and each has his own love.

In fact, from the perspective of traditional health preservation, onion itself is warm, has the effects of warming yang, dispelling wind and driving cold, invigorating stomach and promoting digestion, and is a vegetable with great therapeutic value.

I remember many years ago, I looked up the book Lingnan Miscellanies in Guangzhou Library. According to records, onions originated in Siberia, but were introduced to Macau by Europeans. Finally, planting and breeding began in Guangdong, and gradually entered the dining table of China people.

Obviously, onions are imported, so it is inevitable to talk about how to eat in western food (in fact, foreigners like onions very much, and they can be seen almost everywhere on the table):

1. How to eat salad: I like to cut onions into rings. Of course, you can also cut them into silk. Wash and slice vegetables such as cabbage, tomato and cucumber. Mix all the ingredients together and put them on a plate for later use. Then, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, honey and other seasonings are evenly mixed and poured on vegetables, which is original and fully retains the nutritional value of onions.

Second, how to eat baked goods: such as sandwiches and chicken rolls with raw onion shreds. People who work can try to cook this fast food to save time. Putting a proper amount of shredded onion inside will stimulate your taste buds, stimulate appetite, enhance appetite, and improve problems such as insufficient gastric motility and indigestion.

3. How to eat Luo Songtang: Wash and shred onions, cabbages, carrots and potatoes. Cut the meat into small pieces, then put it in the pot together, add sugar, salt and other seasonings and cook it together. After the pot is taken out, add sour cream on it. It will be delicious.

Then talk about our diet in China:

First, stir-fried beef with onion.

From the perspective of Chinese traditional dietotherapy, beef is mild and beneficial to the spleen and stomach, but don't be greedy. Onion with beef can remove oil, taste and improve taste, enhance gastric motility, help digest beef and absorb nutrition.

My favorite method: Slice beef, add raw flour, salt, soy sauce and cooking wine 15 minutes; Wash onion and green pepper, slice, fry ginger slices in an exothermic pan, add beef and fry until raw, and take it out for later use; Add onion and green pepper to the original pot and stir well, add a little salt. Finally, add the super-good beef slices, stir well, add a little chopped green onion, and then take the pot and plate.

Second, scrambled eggs with onions.

This dish promotes digestion, strengthens the brain and improves intelligence.

My favorite way: choose purple onions, wash them and cut them into shreds; Break two eggs and stir them quickly for four minutes until the egg liquid is thick, add oil to the hot pot, pour in the egg liquid and stir fry until the eggs are out of the pot for later use; Add oil to the original pot, heat the ginger slices in the oil, then add the shredded red pepper and stir-fry until fragrant. This is mainly to enhance the sense of value; Pour in the eggs and stir-fry for about ten seconds, add salt and stir-fry a little, then cover the lid and stew for two minutes, uncover the lid and stir-fry twice, and finally put it on the plate, perfect.

Onion, commonly known as onion, onion and jade onion, is the bulb of Liliaceae onion. Originated in Southwest Asia and introduced from abroad, it is called onion in China. Because only a part of the oblate bulb can be eaten, it is commonly known as onion and onion. Abroad, it is known as the "queen of vegetables" and has high nutritional value.
