An onion a day?

Did you know that onions are in the Lily family? Or that early American settlers and also in Chinese medicine onions are used to treat colds, coughs, breathing problems and chest pain?

I get it. Onions aren't the most popular vegetable. Personally, onions are in my top 5 foods for life. The stronger the onion, the more I'll love it. If you're into milder onion flavor, you'll still reap health benefits from incorporating onions into your regular diet. Onions have also been proven to be good for your colon health, help lower high blood pressure, and possibly help ward off cancer.

What are you waiting for? Enjoy a few slices of crisp, red onions on your next salad or sandwich. Then brush your teeth promptly.
