Hello friends of @plantpoweronhive,

Very good initiative to share in the communities different points of view and experiences on a topic, in this case, onions.

I like to cook with onions and each type brings a unique flavor in the dishes. I like purple onions, it gives meals a special and somewhat spicy touch, especially if you include it in salads or dressings. Did you know that this type of onions brings multiple health benefits?

Yes, I will tell you some of them. It turns out that the purple onion has natural properties to help stop the formation of cancer cells; it can be used as medicine to relieve cold symptoms and has so many other benefits for the health of the skin and neck, so including it in meals is very good for the body.

I invite @miriannalis, @pelulacro and @mireyaromero to participate.

Hi @luisacarola

It's great to see you participating!

Onions are very healthy, and certainly, red onions are even healthier. Each one has its own flavor, which enriches recipes. It's interesting that you point out the health benefits they offer to humans. Thanks for the information.

Greetings!

My participation in the mini vegan contest.

I love purple and white onions but my most favorite is purple onion. It's sweetness, aroma and deep flavor is amazing and the purple color is so appealing to me . I use it almost in every dishes. I love how it makes me cry without no reason but the healing effect on my vision is amazing.
For the white onions, I love them in salads because of their milder flavor and texture. I don't think if I have used white onions in any other dishes except in salads and when they are not available I still make use of purple onions I love them a lot. @mimigold and @iamchimary cooks with onions I'd love to know your favorites.

Hi @ladyfoth

Red onions are delicious, and yes, they look great in dishes, although I think their flavor is milder than white onions. However, both are delicious in any savory recipe, whether it's a salad, a stew, a soup, or a stir-fry. Thank you for participating in the vegan mini-contest.

MY PARTICIPATION IN THE MINI CONTEST “Which Onions Do You Prefer?” ( Mini Vegan Contest #1)

My best among the three categorized onions is the purple onions. Purple onions is what makes my dish very tasty and delicious and this is why I can never cook without this onions. And I think 💭 this very species is more flavorful although many also believed the white onions 🧅 is better but I personally don’t think so.

I love this very onions because of the color it presents on the meals especially when its used for dressing not only on salad 🥗, but as a garnishing ingredients brings so much beauty to foods with an appetizing look.

I enjoy my meals with lots of onions in then, especially when they are chopped in rings, knowing what benefits onions contains. The healthy sight, fight for cancer cells, improving our bone states and most of all nourishing our skin.

I love ❤️ it more when its cooked just slightly raw for more spicy.

We have just few hours left @princess-dara . I know you love onions. @maytom what is your favorite onions?

Hi @sunshine29

I'm glad you decided to participate in the vegan mini-contest; it's great!

You're so right. Red onions are delicious in many recipes, besides being super healthy and very colorful. And just as you say, eating them raw has even more benefits.

Hugs!

My participation in the mini contest. My preference goes to purple and white onion. The purple onion is widely used in kitchen though the white is also used but mostly especially for our vegetable salad. I love eating my onion in sauce or raw in Africa salad, it gives it a special taste.
@empressjay does well purple onion and @marajah even eats it raw some times. You people should come and participate in this mini contest. The only ingredients that makes one cry with a reason. Have you ever cried before because of onion? If you have a matured one I doubt why you won't cry cutting it for your cook.

I haven't seen the yellow and red one if i do, i will love try it.

Hi @iamchimary

Red and white onions are delicious, and yes, as you say, they add a unique flavor to sauces and salads. They also need to be ripe, as I've seen them sometimes harvested early and have a plastic-like taste, so farmers should wait for the right time to harvest them. And of course, it's nice to cry when you cut an onion.

Thank you for participating in the vegan mini-contest.

Nothing beats the purple onions 🧅. I love it most because its more flavorful. I love how it makes me cry while cutting it, haha 😆••••• that’s the first flavor before cooking it.

I invite @nurfay because she cooks and love onions. @hive.samadi loves onions too.

Sending love 💕 friends.
