LOL... that's a nice poem!
I love, love, love onions. What would my world be w/o onions?! I love them raw, cooked, grilled, baked, roasted, sauteed, they're just so yummy!
I'm quoting this from the Whole Health MD website:
"Onions are low in calories and, to be truthful, in most vitamins and minerals (although they do supply a little calcium, iron, and potassium). However, the many flavorful members of this plant family-- scallions, leeks, shallots and garlic as well as onions themselves--are rich sources of a number of phytonutrients. They contain allyl sulfides (sulfur compounds that may lower blood pressure and discourage tumor growth), quercetin (a flavonoid with high Antioxidant activity), and saponins (substances connected with cholesterol-lowering and tumor inhibition). "
Eat your onions!!!
