Monthly Nutrition Fact:

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.
