Did You Know?

Did you know that when it comes to onions that the more bitter, strong and pungent ones tend to have more cancer fighting compounds that the milder, sweeter onions? A Cornell researcher declared that out of all the onion varieties tested, the shallot had the most potential to do good things for your body. The off-the-charts phenolic content is what gave this bulb the winning edge. The onions that tested best for antioxidant power are:

*Shallots

*Western Yellow

*New York Bold

*Northern Red

Honestly, you'll do well by adding any onion to your salads, sandwiches, and overall diet -- they're not only cancer-fighters as I said before, but also artery protectors.
