Onions are high in energy and have good amounts of B6,
B1, and Folic acid in them. They contain chemicals
which fight free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals
cause disease and destruction in our cells. Onions
have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties
in them. These properties are most potent when the
onion is eaten raw. Onions raise the levels of
beneficial HDL cholesterol and they lower the levels of the
bad LDL cholesterol.
Capsicums are from the nightshade family. They originated
in Central and South America. They come in an amazing array of
colours from bright red, yellows, oranges, purples and greens.
Capsicums can be eaten in their raw form or they can be cooked.
They range from very mild spiciness to extremely hot! Most
species of capsicums contain capsaicin which is the chemical that
causes the hot burning sensation when they are eaten. they are good
sources of vitamin C.
