Onions and Garlic

Garlic has an entirey unimportant influence on your weight loss. Overall calories in vs overals calories used is by far the most inportant feature of any wight loss program.

I recommend about two oz a day. Try putting cloves in your salads - also lemon juice, garlic and some wholesome boiling water make for a perfect, guilt free tea.

They are living because they are provided with cells and cells are known to be in all living things.

It protects the meat of the onion and keeps moisture inside . It does this by clamping on to the onion making safe. thats why when you peel an onion the skin comes off in a big chunk.

Yes. Because on the inside of an onion it has leaves.

an onion is a vegatable because it is not made with a flower

Yes, Garlic is very healthy: Garlic's health benefits and medicinal properties have long been known . Garlic has long been considered a herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague! It has been used extensively in herbal medicine (phytotherapy, sometimes spelt phitotherapy). Raw garlic is used by some to treat the symptoms of acne and there is some evidence that it can assist in managing high cholesterol levels. It can even be effective as a natural mosquito repellent. In general, a stronger tasting clove of garlic has more sulphur content and hence more medicinal value it's likely to have. Some people have suggested that organically grown garlic tends towards a higher sulphur level and hence greater benefit to health. In my experience it certainly tastes better so I buy organic whenever possible whether or not it's best for my health. Some people prefer to take garlic supplements. These pills and capsules have the advantage of avoiding garlic breath. Modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, albeit broad-spectrum rather than targeted. The body does not appear to build up resistance to the garlic, so its positive health benefits continue over time.
Garlic is said to be excellent for health. See the related link.

1) peel potatoes

2) cook them in salted water (enough to cover potatoes + abit more)for about 20 mins. counting from when water boils

3) test the potatoes to see if they are soft, test with a knife, if they are ready the knife will go through the potatoes ok.

4) when potatoes are done, put potatoes in a bowl, save water

5) then with a fork or potato masher, mash potatoes with some of the boiled potato water, some warm milk and some butter or margarine. Not too much to start with. If you think the mashed potatoes are too dry carefully add more potato water or milk. The mixture shouldn't be too sloppy. The potatoes should be light and fluffy.

6) season to taste.

Mashed potatoes go with many dishes, fish or meat. Enjoy!

Buttermilk. Buttermilk comes from skim milk, too, so in a way, it can be considered healthy! If you have no buttermilk, you can substitute regular milk with about a teaspoon of vinegar.

According to legend, St. David (the patron saint of Wales) was getting ready for a battle that took place in a leek field. He told his Britons to wear a leek in their caps to reduce casualties from "friendly fire", since their enemy, the Saxons, looked like their brothers. This produced a defining victory for the Britons. Today, on March 1st, Welsh people wear the leeks in remembrance. Some will wear the daffodil, since the common word for leek and daffodil is the same. Daffodil has become the National Flower of Wales.

This may be an average rather than a specific onion, but onions in general contain 1.1g of protein for every 100g of onion. Again, different variety of onions may contain less or more, but yes, they do contain some protein.

red onions originate from England. They like the rich good soil.

I believe this is possible, with the help of a freezer retard!

Acetocarmine is a DNA specific stain like feulgen stain, so the super coiled chromosomes during different stages of mitosis present in the Onion root tip cells can be visualized perfectly by treating with this stain.

I have seen onions that weigh a pound each, on the other hand there are smaller ones that that are 5-6 to the pound.

No, it contains cellulose that the body cannot digest. Cows can eat it because they have several stomachs that can deal with the cellulose, but we as humans cannot release the nutritional value because the cellulose holds it in and our bodies cannot get to it. It is safe to chew, but not swallow. Chewing grass gives the body chlorophyll which is really healthy and good for the digestive system.

well it depends what relegion the onion is for example if the onion is christian it is against its beliefs to contain starch if he is budda it is most definitrly the onion will contain starch or hell either have a shag with a sheep :)

No - dogs should never be given raw or cooked onion. Onions contain sulfides, which cause the breakdown of red blood cells and subsequent anaemia in dogs and cats. Onions and similar vegetables such as garlic, shallots and scallions contain dangerous compounds that are capable of damaging the dog's red blood cells. They should be avoided at all costs.

The onion skin may vary from pink to dark reddish pink.The inner peel is colorless.

Yes, you can. Peel and dice the onions. Freeze them in freezer bags in increments you think you would use in one dish. When you're cooking, get out your frozen onions and just add them into the dish. They will thaw and cook the same as fresh onions would.

Yes, it lasts for a couple weeks in the fridge, sealed. But you'll lose intensity/ taste.

the onion weed in my garden has stiff green leaves up to 30cm long. It comes from an underground bulb which can be quite deep -up to 20 or so cms. This bulb sends out underground stolens which soon mature into more weeds. It also sends up a white flower and this quickly seeds to spread the weed even further. I understand there is an organic method of control- putting a drop of oil in the centre of the plant, but I don't know which oil is safe to use for the health of the garden. I expect it could be applied with an eyedropper. I used cooking oil with little success.

Leeks are not poisonus to buns...onion and garlic are! Leeks should NOT be fed fresh, ONLY dried.

It is much more palatable to the bunny if it is dried, because the flavour is less intense, in a dried state. Although the active ingredients in it are more concentrated. SStill this does not harm the bunny.

Garlic comes from a bulb that forms at the bottom of the plant. When you plant a single clove of garlic, it sends up tubular leaves, like large green onions. As each new leaf is added, it forms a clove of garlic inside the bulb, and a "wrap" around the entire garlic bulb.
