Cry me a River. Of Onions.

BAHHHHHHHHHH!
Bawling for your long lost love? Time to stop – you have something new to cry for. And while your crying, you’ll also be ridding yourself of toxins, defending your body against cancers of all types, and helping your brain think, function, and endure pain more clearly.
Born in the Middle East, the onion now resides worldwide, as well as in the hearts and minds of savvy CaveChow eaters. Why?
NUTRITION – 5 stars
- Lowers blood sugar levels, if you’re into diabetes, by increasing insulin levels that bring glucose into cells
- Great source of chromium and Vitamin B6, rumored to help maintain bone health and density
- Lowers cholesterol level and high blood pressure – resulting in decreased risk of heart disease
- Helps prevent colon cancer by supplying the antioxidant Quercitin – eat raw for highest concentrate
- Fights and protects against cancer #1, #2, #3, and on and on. Onions have proven to protect against many of the common cancers – more than we care to list!
- Anti-inflammatory and a phenomenal way to ward off viral bacteria during flu season. Add into every soup
SIMPLICITY – 3 stars
- Oh yea. Need to shed a couple tears on the spot? Just close your eyes and bite. Like the burgers say, raw is best.
- For the more classy and time-endowed eaters, chop em up, cook them in some olive oil, or as a complement to anything else cooking. Boil them, fry them, blend them. It doesn’t matter really, because they are so good for you. Just ingest it.
AFFORDABILITY – 5 stars
- BANG! Number one in our hearts, and in our pocket books. How does 49 cents a pound sound? Well below the recommended Cave Chow baseline of $1 per pound.
- They have all different types of onions. We don’t know what they all are, so we suggest the most basic. Yellow baby, yea!
Now you know. If you have a smelly, eccentric friend who seems to be exceptionally good at everything he or she does, you should start calling them the Onion, because this food comes in like a 90mph fastball at the bottom of the 9th when the game is tied and the bases are loaded. It can be a game changer for the aging generation in their fight to keep themselves whole upstairs, and few items of food grown (garlic aside) have the same potent benefits.
Grab some tissues and place your cell phone far away from you, and start snacking.
Farewell,
Cave Cook
