According to my friend, onion is good for our health. So do you eat onion? Bombay people in our place are liked to eat onions and that's their main course. How about you?

No. No. Noo! Noooo!! NOOOO!! ABSOLUTELY NOOOO! (Did I get my point across? hehe) I hate onions. I hate the smell, haste the taste. I realize they are healthy, but a lot of stuff is; that doesn't mean I'm going to eat it. P.S. You may know this already, but NEVER put an onion in the refrigerator! I don't remember the specifics, but the cold changes the chemistry of it; it's especially bad for diabetics.

(Oops, the e-mail reminder got lost in my inbox!) I don't like onions at all, but I LOVE so many other healthy foods so I'm sure my health won't suffer without them! Thanks for replying to my comment. I've noticed a lot of people like to start discussions, and then never return to see what people had to say on the topic.

In my Opinion, Onion is good for health, it helps in digestion. But only one draw back is that if you eat onion directly the mouth will be bad smell/odour. I like Pakoda (South Indian) chat item which is very delicious.

You mean for only for cooking ingredients, or you just simply cook the onion and it only that. For me, I always use garlic and red onion when I cook, for cooking ingredients, I barely use onion.

Onions are one of my favorite foods to eat. I love onion rings the most. But, on the healthier side, I like fried sweet onions. They are delicious.

I start liking to eat onions especially when they put on the top of the pizza. But I found out that if we eat too much onions our sweat is smelly just because of onions. Yeah, it is healthier and no side effects the problem is the smell in our body if we are sweating. thanks for sharing your comments here and have a nice day ahead Godbless

Their main course is onion, how do you eat it everyday, do you fry it or eat it raw? I love onions myself and do it them a lot but not every day as it doesn't always go with what I am having, like fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I love onions whether raw or cooked. I will put them on my hot dog and in most things I am cooking. I love them in my home made soups and with my pasta sauces and pretty much anything. I put them raw in my salads. I agree that onions are good for you. I'm not sure what the benefits are but if nothing else it cleans out your sinuses. Cheers, Chris

Hi. careguarden. I like to eat onions, but not to where they are plain. I like to eat onions when it is mixed in rice, tuna, meats, casseroles, pasta dishes, salads, and pizza dishes. I don't eat onions as my main course, I usually have onions that are mixed into the food that I am cooking.

The only times I eat onions is when I'm cooking. When I prepare spaghetti or meat loaf, I cut the sweet onions and pop a piece or two into my mouth.

Onion mixed with other vegetables and garlic and serve them as salad taste great! I do love eating onion but I noticed that it gives me a bad odor after eating them for days. Yes, they say that it is good for one's health. I also read somewhere in the Net that never use for cooking onion left-overs as they attract bacteria. Don't keep half of the unused onion and instead throw them away.

Yes...Onions are very good for health. Everyday I used to eat atleast two onions. Used to have almost one in the breakfast time as salad. In the afternoon also I used to have onion. At night, when we eat roti, with it onion is must item. Without it, dinner will be just not finished.

I like fresh onion, the white table onion as they call it. I like it mixed with fresh tomato and sprinkled with chopped fresh chili. This salad goes pretty good with fried fish, any kind of fish, and your lunch or dinner will be too satisfying.

My Mother would have liked Bombay, she taught me to eat onion sandwiches as a kid. 2 slices of bread, lots of onions and some mayo, that's it.

I don't eat onion as a main dish, but I do love it. I really like red onions but a good strong white onion is good to. Onions are good for you and they add a little bit of kick to most meals! Sauted onions aren't quite as healthy but boy, are they good!!

Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of onions. I know that the smell is tolerable but I seldom eat it. Onion has good qualities in maintaining good health but I will not eat it even if my life depends on it (hope not). Even when eating Shawarma, I would request the vendor not to include onions.
