Onion has health care effects on the body. Green onions contain pungent volatile oils and capsaicin, which can remove odors from greasy and thick dishes such as fishy mutton, and produce a special aroma, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and increase appetite. When volatile capsaicin is excreted through the sweat glands, respiratory tract, and urinary system, it can slightly stimulate the secretion of related glands and play a role in sweating, expectoration, and diuresis.

Although green onions are good, there are taboos

1. Although green onions are good, there are still some precautions. The ancients said that "honey produces onions". Eating honey and onions together will produce harmful substances to the human body, which can easily cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort.

2. Onions are warm in nature and pungent in taste, so eating them with warm foods such as dog meat and rooster meat can easily cause inflammation, especially for patients with rhinitis. Eating dog meat stewed with onions is likely to aggravate the condition.

3. When taking traditional Chinese medicine, you should pay attention to see if the medicinal properties conflict with green onions.

Which part of scallions is more nutritious?

Unfortunately, many people think that these functions of scallions are only possessed by the white part of scallions, and the leaves of scallions do not seem to be that important, and the leaves of scallions have even become Domestic waste from markets and kitchens.

In fact, the nutrition of scallion leaves is not bad at all compared with scallions. We often say that different parts of the same vegetable have different nutritional contents, which can be seen in green onions. In addition to the nutrients contained in scallion whites, scallion leaves contain many nutrients that are superior to scallion whites. For example, the contents of vitamin C, carotene, leaf green, and magnesium in onion leaves are significantly higher than those in the white part of onions.

Therefore, we throw away the green onion leaves, which is a real injustice to the onion leaves. Next time we buy vegetables, if the green onion leaves don’t age, shrink and turn yellow, we can eat the green onion leaves and white green onions together. This will not only reduce waste, save living costs, but also consume richer nutrients. Why not? What?
