Health benefits:
The cruciferous vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. Just one cup of cooked Brussels sprouts offer 243% Vitamin K and 130% Vitamin C of your DRI based on a 2,000 caloric intake. They are also an excellent source of folate, and a good source of manganese, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, copper, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus, and omega-3 fatty acids. Talk about a tasty multi-vitamin and mineral food!

The onion, much like the garlic clove, is apart of the Allium family. These members have an abundance of sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for that pungent fragrant and for many of their health-promoting effects.
