A new study by Spanish and British researchers found that brown onion skin is rich in fiber, phenolic compounds, quercetin, flavonol, sulfur compounds and other healthy ingredients Regular consumption of fiber rich foods can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal discomfort, colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and obesity, while supplementation with phenolics and flavonols can help prevent coronary heart disease and cancer, the researchers said In addition, sulfur compounds have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, can prevent platelet accumulation, improve blood circulation, and promote cardiovascular health The researchers believe that the nutritional value of onion skin should be paid attention to, which can be used to make non water soluble nutritional supplements, or add onion skin extract to other foods.
