Our Potato Bolani is stuffed with simmered red-skin potatoes
and green onions.
Benefits of Onion:
Onions contain complex sulfur compounds. When cutting an onion,
two chemical reactions take place; enzymes release a strong odor,
and a volatile sulfur gas irritates the eyes. The sulfur containing
compounds in onions are responsible for their health benefits.
Onions are rich in chromium and some potassium,magnesium, manganese,
molybdenum and calcium. They also have vitamin C, trace amounts
of B vitamins, iron and zinc.
Onions contain the powerful antioxidant
quercetin, flavonoids and several other micronutrients. Being high
in chromium, onions can help decrease blood glucose levels, improve
glucose tolerance, lower insulin levels and decrease total
cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL or good
cholesterol. These factors are known to decrease the risk of
cardiovascular disease.
