Benefits of onion.

in #photography7 years ago

Onion is an integral part of food to salad. Although many people do not eat onions, but for those who do, then food is tasteless without it. Onion is not used only for taste, it is also beneficial for the health. In summer, it becomes even more important.

You must have heard about the use of onion peel. But perhaps fewer people know that these herbs of onion have hidden the treasure of health and taste. The ordinary onion is also a great vegetable and also a unique dish.

The onions are literally a leafy vegetable. Yes, it is of course that most of its leaves are inside the ground. These leaves are also bizarre, like spinach-fenugreek are not flat, but like Pongali. Onion leaves live inside some ground, some outside The part that comes out of the ground is green and the part that remains inside the ground remains white or light pink. The lower part of the leaves is fleshy and smooth. The onion tuber is made from these very lower parts of the leaves.

In others words on the onion we can also call a ground bud. Its upper green and lower white pink-fleshy leaves are eaten with big taste. The most consumed vegetable after the potato is onion.

It is believed that the onion originated in Iran, western Pakistan and the mountainous areas of the north. The antiquity of onion can be judged from the fact that pyramid manufacturers also used onions. Onion was the favorite food ingredient in ancient Egypt. It is engraved on the tombs of the place. Not only did the mummies get onions. The mention of onions has also come in the Bible and in the Quran. The meaning of this is that the mention of onion has come from Hippocrates to date.

Onion contains calcium and riboflavin (vitamin B) in sufficient quantity. It contains 11 percent carbohydrate and its odor comes from N-propyl-di sulfide. This substance is caused by the action of enzymes on water soluble amino acids. This is the reason that onion bites only tear.
