Onion

A humble kitchen bulb that adds deep flavor and has been used as a folk remedy for ages.

🌱 What it is

Onions are layered bulbs in the same family as garlic. The same sulfur compounds that make your eyes water are part of what makes them good for you.

✨ How it may help

  • Contain plant compounds that may support the immune system
  • Often linked with heart and circulation health
  • Add rich flavor to almost any savory dish

🥄 How to use it

Chop them into soups, stir-fries, and salads. Cooking makes them sweet and mild, while raw onion is much stronger.

⚖️ Caution

Raw onion can upset sensitive stomachs or cause gas for some people. Cooked onion is usually gentler.

🍃 A note from nature

Plain and everyday, yet it quietly makes so many meals better — humble goodness from the garden.
