Onions:
If you dry onions, you will intensify their vitamin characteristics. Once dried, ounce for ounce, dried onions have approximately:
- 9 times the vitamin C
- 8 times thiamin
- 10 times riboflavin
- 9 times niacin
- 5 times iron
- 11 times as much potassium as fresh onions
Onions appear to provide protection against heart disease by lowering LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
