Onions contain prebiotic fibre, which is the perfect gut-loving nutrient to keep your gut happy and your mood boosted.
*When eaten as part of a healthy varied diet.
Top tip: It’s best to store your whole onions in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated room, like a pantry, cellar or basement. Sliced or cut onions can be refrigerated for 7–10 days.
Top tip: Prevent tears by avoiding cutting the onion root as that’s where the chemicals that cause tears are highly concentrated. Or, you can wear onion goggles!
