Unless you're on a date, it's time to add onions to your diet for hundreds of reasons, the first one being flavor. The aroma is wonderful, the texture can be anywhere from crisp to unnoticeable, but the flavor and health benefits are endless.
Onions are in the same family as garlic, leeks and shallots, and provide your body with a large range of nutritional benefits. They are low in calories, and high in vitamins B and C, plus a few minerals. They have antioxidant effects that can reduce blood clotting and raise your good cholesterol levels.
So unless you live in Nacogdoches, Texas, where it's against the law for "young women" to indulge in any raw onions after 6 p.m., you can eat onions anytime you like and no matter which healthy eating plan you are on.
