Red Onion - A Powerful Antibiotic

Different onions are best in different types of recipes; for example, red onions and shallots are usually to be eaten raw, while white and yellow onions are preferred when cooked. No matter the type you choose, keep in mind that a high percentage of valuable phytonutrients which are the keys to the many onion nutrition benefits described above are stored toward the surface of the vegetable right under its thin, paper-like outer peel. To maximize the benefits of onions, only peel off the onion’s outermost layer and consume the rest of the fleshy, moist parts.

Something interesting about preparing onions is that when you cut them open and leave them exposed to air for about 10 minutes their phytonutrient content actually increases and becomes more absorbable. If you have the time when cooking, chop your onions and leave them on a cutting board for several minutes before adding them to recipes. You can bring out the naturally sweet flavor of onions, as well as the absorbability of onion’s nutrients, by briefly cooking them. The thinner you slice onions, the more quickly they will cook; the longer you cook them, the more their sugars are released and the sweeter they taste.
