Rospotrebnadzor in the Krasnoyarsk Territory reminded about the benefits of onions.

The department noted that this vegetable contains a large amount of phytoncides, vitamins (groups B, C, E and P), as well as microelements – iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, cobalt. In addition, it has pronounced antimicrobial properties.

This is why most people include onions in their diet. It is most useful when consumed raw.

Representatives of Rospotrebnadzor reminded that when choosing an onion you need to pay attention to its appearance. It should be dry, hard, and free of stains. The root should not have any plaque, no signs of mold, or too much soil accumulation.

Onions are best stored in a dry place at room temperature. It is important to consider that the red variety is less suitable for long-term storage than the golden variety. The cut onion should be wrapped in cling film and put in the refrigerator.

“Onions should be consumed with caution by people suffering from diseases of the digestive system, as they increase the acidity of gastric juice. Also, this vegetable is not recommended for diseases of the kidneys, liver, gastritis», — Rospotrebnadzor warned.
