Onion is an essential seasoning food in our daily life, which is mainly to adjust the taste of food. However, some people eat shallots alone. For example, in Northeast China and other places, they like shallots to grab cakes, and some people in Shandong and other places also like to eat shallots raw. Onions not only have a good taste, but also some other foods have good eating effects. Let's introduce them in detail for home.

1, strengthening yang and nourishing yin. Various vitamins in shallots can ensure the normal secretion of human hormones, and can also effectively stimulate sexual desire, thus "strengthening yang and nourishing yin". Therefore, for men, eating shallots or chives three times a week can be cooked and eaten cold, and can also be used as a flavoring agent to achieve the effect of strengthening yang and nourishing yin.

2, detoxification and seasoning. Onion is pungent and slightly warm, and has the functions of clearing yang, detoxifying and seasoning. Mainly used for common cold, abdominal pain due to yin cold, aversion to cold and fever, headache and stuffy nose, milk obstruction, and adverse defecation. Allium fistulosum contains volatile oil, the main components of which are allicin, diallyl sulfide and calcium oxalate. In addition, it also contains fat, sugar, carotene, vitamins B, C, nicotinic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron and other components.

3. Prevent cancer. Allium fistulosum and young garlic shoots have the same effect of preventing cancer, because it contains a lot of pectin, which is very helpful for preventing colon cancer. And allicin in shallots also has a certain restraining effect on cancer. In addition, selenium, a special trace element in shallots, can reduce the content of nitrite in the body. Everyone knows that nitrite is a carcinogen, but selenium can well eliminate this threat.

4, relax blood vessels. Onion is rich in vitamin C, which can relax small blood vessels, promote blood circulation, prevent dizziness caused by high blood pressure, keep the brain flexible and prevent Alzheimer's disease. The volatile oil and capsaicin of shallots can get rid of the peculiar smell in greasy and thick dishes such as fishy smell and produce special aroma. If they are eaten with mushrooms, they can also promote blood circulation.

Above, we gave you a brief introduction about the edible efficacy of shallots. I believe everyone should know that shallots are a very good food. Many people in rural areas like to plant some shallots in their own yards to eat. When using them, they can eat them after washing, which can be said to be very convenient. In order to have a better body and avoid the lack of nutrition, everyone should eat a proper amount of shallots every day.
