Onions

Probably all of us use the onion when cooking. Most of us probably hate the process of peeling and chopping the onion. I am definitely one of those people...

My boyfriend doesn't like onions and every night he asks why we are eating it. I never use onion as the main ingredient as in onion soup, chutney or fried onion rings. I merely use it as taste enhancer. But there are also health benefits to cooking with onions: they are high in vitamin C, vitamin B6 and folic acid and they are a great source of fibre. They also have potential anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol and antioxidant properties. 

But be sure to never give it to your doggy, kitty or guinea pig because it can be deadly!
