THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF SPICY SCALLIONS


Scallions, also known as spring onions, belong to the Allium family of root vegetables that include additional flavorful members like onions, shallots, leeks and garlic to mention a few. Allium vegetables are termed as such due to a powerful healing substance found in them called allicin.
The zesty scallion has been shown to help lower blood sugar, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation. As mentioned above, the Quercetin is responsible for its anti-inflammatory action while the allicin keeps the platelets from clumping together to form a clot.
