ONION
Onion adds a different taste and aroma to our food. I don't think any woman would think of cooking without onions in her kitchen. Pink and white onions are as pleasing to see as they are delicious to eat. It is used in every royal meal. It enhances the color, taste, and nutritional value of the food. But while cutting it, the eyes start watering; it seems as if we are crying. But no matter how many tears come out of our eyes while cutting it, we still do not stop using it or say that we cannot stop it. Weeping tears from the eyes, we cut it because we know that onion will give a different look, taste, aroma, and health to our food.
How to use onion
1-Although it is beneficial to use onion in any form, it is still more beneficial to include it in a salad. More than this, quercetin comes into our body, which is healthy for health.
While using it, we keep on removing many layers of its peel. 2-Onions have many layers. But the outer layers of onions have more flavonoids. Therefore, if you want to take maximum advantage of the nutrients of onion, then peel at least its layer. Since removing the thin layer destroys a lot of flavonoids, imagine if you remove the thick layer, you will remove the flavonoids along with the tears from the eyes.
For the nutritional elements of onion to come in the right quantity in the soup, the soup must be cooked on medium flame. 3-It is said that grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., should not be cooked on the flame for a long time. Because by over-cooking, the nutrients present in the food item start getting destroyed. But whenever onions are boiled for a long time to make soup, the quercetin present in it gets transferred to the water instead of being destroyed, and a very nutritious soup is prepared.
