In addition to common white-fleshed onions, red onions are rich in quercetin and are a good food for anti-cancer and anti-cancer. The nutritionist reminded that quercetin is afraid of heat, so don’t cook it for too long. You can fry it quickly with high heat, but it is best to eat it raw. It can retain more nutrients in Japanese-style cold onions.

Taiwan's native onions are delicious and affordable. In recent seasons, you can buy a bag for 100 yuan. There was a question on a TV puzzle program recently: "What kind of onion is the most powerful in killing cancer cells?" The answer is red onion! Nutritionist Liu Chunjun said that red onion is also known as purple onion. The purple red pulp is rich in quercetin. Quercetin is a flavonoid found in dark plants such as tea, capers, angelica, apples, red onions, red grapes, citrus, tomatoes, raspberries, lingonberries, cranberries, cactus fruits, Among them, red onion is abundant in food.

Quercetin can be anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and kill cancer cells. In recent years it has been found to have many beneficial health effects. For example, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, and even anti-cancer, are considered to be very helpful, so many people are now starting to pay attention to supplementing quercetin.

Eating 25 mg per kilogram of body weight can have an effect

Liu Chunjun said that according to animal experiments, eating per kilogram of body weight25 mg of quercetin is effective. The most abundant quercetin content is tea leaves, with 2000 to 2500 mg per kilogram, but when we make 1 cup of tea, the amount of tea leaves is about 2 to 5 grams, which is difficult to drink from tea to an effective concentration.

Fruits that are often said to be "rich in quercetin" such as raspberries and other berries have a maximum of 158 mg per kilogram, red grapes and apples are only 35 and 44 mg per kilogram, respectively, while red onions have a maximum of 158 mg per kilogram. The quercetin content is as high as 1910 mg per kilogram. Although one onion is only about 200 to 300 grams, eating one red onion has 380 to 570 mg of quercetin, which is better than eating 10 or 20 apples.

Quercetin is afraid of heat, so do not cook it for too long

However, quercetin is afraid of heat, and the quercetin will be destroyed if the temperature is too high or cooked for too long. Liu Chunjun suggested that when frying the red onion, cut it into pieces and fry it quickly on high heat to reduce the damage of quercetin. It is more delicious when it is fried with sliced ​​meat. Red onions are sweet and crunchy, not easy to overcook, but they are very suitable for eating raw. They are usually cut into rings at breakfast restaurants and fast food restaurants and sandwiched in hamburgers or toast, which can retain a higher concentration of quercetin.

Liu Chunjun suggested that you can eat it raw and eat a larger amount at one time, which is to make Japanese-style cold salad shredded onion. After the red onion is shredded, soak it in ice water to reduce the pungency, and serve cold Japanese bonito soy sauce. You can sprinkle sesame seeds and add a little sesame sauce.
