Onion

Onion is most common,
oldest veg known to man
on earth. Many find its 
odour unpleasant but
onions offer many
of their health benefits
only when eaten raw.

sadly, if I eat them raw, they really do a number on my breath, and my husband hates that!! I did hear that if you cook your beef with onions, it makes the beef less carcinogenic!
