I love onions so they become a staple in most of my meat foods. Today, onions are with my bacon and eggs, as well as tuna salad. Most of the time I sautee onions with other veggies, hen eat those veggies with a meat.0

I make a mean mushroom and onion risotto. Truly the stuff of gods, but no anti-aging benefits in every forkful, unless you consider that eating something so delicious makes you happy thereby reducing stress levels.

I put onions in EVERYTHING! I sautéed them with meats and peppers. I put them in my omelets. Steamed them with my vegetables. Salute them with garlic then throw them on some meat! It's delicious!0

I am fascinated with the chemical changes in onions when they are slow roasted. Those long chains get broken down in to sugars and sharp goes to sweet. My favourite way to have onions these days is in a curry with butternut squash and lentils.1

I know balanced diets - thanks! I've been to nutritionists when younger - have a big interest - do things just for fun - and have taken classes- gone to lectures... but just have fun sometimes. I am just asking a question - but thanks for looking out - just want to say that so no one else thinks I don't have knowledge of eating heathy -- but do enjoy the extra information on eating healthy and all - but still need to be wary of internet sites. thanks, guys thought I'd put that out there. and thanks for looking out -- genuinely - thats super sweet
but the extra information on health isn't NOT NEEDED -- totally welcome in fact thanks !! #HappyWeekend!! Hope y'all are having fun! =0) 0 -

If you have access to sumac, it's what makes the dish what it is.
There is a falafel place in my office building that serves a salad of onions and sumac and it's delicious!1 -

Does the claim require that the onions be eaten raw? If not, grilling them allows you to put them on top of just about any main course item. Try caramelising 2 medium onions with some fresh garlic and making a soup with a can of vegetable broth and a palm full of barley and a dash of red pepper flakes.1 -

Oh yes! We make this salad as a side for barbecue, and since I don't eat meat, my meal ends up consisting of several delicious sides. Sumac has a lemony flavor that goes really well with onions, fresh or cooked, and it's also nice as a garnish for hummus and in chickpea salads. One of my favorite spices.2 -
I have eaten onions my whole life pretty regularly and it never gave me awesome skin. If that is your only reason for wanting to eat more onion I doubt you will see any changes. You'd probably see more change with a variety of vegetables consumed.
Here is a nice summer recipe- http://www.food.com/recipe/cucumber-and-onion-salad-182382?soc=socialsharingpinterest1 -

no! its just onion! lol!! and I'm just enjoying the recipes at this point! lol! because onion is actually quote good! I just don't like eating it that often normally! and this was more for fun - so it can be eaten any way -- I just wanted it more as an additive so like as little extras as possible... but have really liked the recipes! lol! so thank you! ill add this to my growing cookbook! #OnionSection :0) and love garlic, too. so this sounds very good! thanks 0 -
thanks, guys!0

The best way to eat onions is on a Double Double from In-n-Out Burger.
They're also awesome chopped very fine on top of raw mackerel.2 -

I love onions. They're cheap and bulk out lots of my dishes. Try slow cooking a couple of kilos. Just peel and chop in half (or quarters if they're big). I cook them on the lowest setting for about 6 hours while I'm at work. They almost melt down to a sweet, onion sauce you can use as a base for a casserole, curry, soup etc. Or keep refrigerated and add in spoonfuls to stir-fries etc. Great with curries that need a sweet base.1

Had a relative who would eat them raw like an apple... Needless to say he usually sat alone at family gatherings.2

Thank you for making me laugh...! Omg. Laughed so hard1

I can't imagine the intestinal distress both onions and prunes would cause.
Perhaps it would be similar to haribo sugar-free gummy bears but with intense reek.3 -

It's the next ACV. Or cleanse.1 -
Lol! To the eating onion raw! That's hysterical! Lol! And to the more below post? It's not wrinkle management - I do not have any- nor have I needed any extras for my skin yet and nobody thinks I'm near my age - I had just been stressed and thought I'd have fun. Just feel I need to reiterate that. And that it's short term. Any how thanks again for the idea up above - I really like the recipes in general as well - besides just for having fun because I do just like onion - so please do keep them coming! Lol! Or some with slight garlic since this was mentioned is welcome too - it's one of my favs but you can barely eat that as well because of the smell-!! :0( but def hoping for those too!:0)0

I love raw onions, chopped or thin-sliced. Besides what's mentioned above:
- Hot shelled edamame with chopped raw onions and a dash of coarse sea salt
- Cold chickpeas as a salad with raw onions and chopped pickled turnips (the middle-Eastern kind)
- Cooked edamame noodles or soy noodles with green peas, chopped raw onions, and peanut sauce (peanut sauce: PB2 peanut butter powder, rice vinegar, soy sauce, a little toasted sesame oil, and optionally seasonings like chile sauce, garlic szechuan pepper, etc.)
- Thinly sliced cucumber and raw onions dressed with salted plain Greek yogurt & freshly-ground black pepper. Chopped fresh garlic won't hurt it either.
The sweet onions, like Vidalias, are especially good raw, IMO
Almost anything I cook in a frying pan starts with browning a whole chopped or sliced onion. Soups usually start with many slow-browned onions.
But there's no magic in them, other than yum. It may be mildly helpful that they're prebiotic (your microbiome likes consuming them). As a consequence, you may want to ramp up consumption slowly so your system can adapt. Otherwise, gassiness could result.
Those above laughing about the effects of onions + prunes might well find little difficulty if consumption increases gradually. Personally, I think the combo sounds tasty - I may try it. As someone who regularly eats 40+ grams of fiber, and usually at least half an onion daily (often raw), I'd anticipate no complications1 -
My dad is 84. He eats half of a Vidalia onion everyday. He just eats it with a little salt and pepper. You could out local honey on it, if you want something else that's good for you.1
