Onions Are My Favorite Vegetable....REALLY! 10 Great Onion Recipes: Healthy Eating

Onions

My kids ask me, "What's your favorite vegetable?" My answer is always: ONIONS.

"That's not a vegetable...they're just something people put in things."

Their answer reaffirms my belief that onions are a truly under appreciated vegetable. Yeah, they are something people put into thing.... they are something that people put into most recipes.
Could you image stews and soups without onions? Onions versatility and necessity are enormous.

And you probably didn't know that they are extremely nutritious too: filled with sulfur which is important for your brain and nervous system, along with being one of the only sources of Quercitin, which has many health benefits... one of the most important being antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties that are so critical for protecting you from illness in the winter.

So, go easy on the onion rings, but other wise indulge all you want in low calorie, highly nutritious: onions.
