Hi again. Matt here with The Farming Report. Todays subject is...
Onions!!
Onions belong to the lily family, along with leeks, garlic, scallions, and chives.
It's sulfur compounds that give onions their pungent smell and cause the eyes to water. Some of these sulfur compounds give onions an anti-bacterial quality against such nasty invaders as e coli.
Some home remedies offer onion paste as a treatment for insect stings and acne.
Onions are a rich source of antioxidants, which help prevent cancer, and flavonoids, which help prevent heart disease.
Because of unique properties, onions have been used in cooking and traditional medicine in cultures worldwide for thousands of years!
Onions are toxic to cats and dogs.
Well I hope you found this interesting! See you later!
