Boost Your Immune System with British Onions

Want to know the secret to staying in peak condition during the dreaded, frosty months? It is deliciously round, a kitchen staple, of British origin and it's full of healthy goodness; it's the British onion.

The humble vegetable boasts a number of health properties helping to prevent those awful winter colds and keep your spirit up. It is packed with Quercetin, a multi-tasking flavonoid that aids to fight a variety of illnesses. In fact, the absorption of Quercetin from onions is twice that from tea and three times that from apples.

Quercetin is recognised as being a more potent antioxidant than vitamin E and it is furthermore believed to help to reduce symptoms like fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Experts believe that as little as two to three onions per week can have a significantly positive impact on health. And even better news, onions don't have to be eaten raw to maximise their health benefits - Quercetin is relatively stable while being cooked so it retains all its powerful goodness to aid overall wellbeing.

And there is no better way to enjoy this nutritional powerhouse than in the form of a comforting and mouth-watering cup of British Onion soup, enjoy.
