Below are 3 groups of people who should eat green onions regularly based on scientific evidence.

People with weakened immune systems

Scallions are rich in vitamin C and flavonoid antioxidants, which help boost the immune system and protect the body from infections.

According to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO), vitamin C plays an important role in activating white blood cells, helping to destroy bacteria and viruses that invade the body.

Scallions also contain quercetin, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, which is great for people who are often sick.

People at risk of cardiovascular disease

People at high risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, should also include green onions in their diet. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, green onions contain allicin, a sulfur compound that has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the blood.

In addition, green onions are also rich in vitamin K, which helps improve blood vessel health and reduce the risk of abnormal blood clotting.

People with digestive problems

Scallions are a natural source of fiber, which helps improve digestive function. Research from the Institute of Food and Nutrition Research (IFPRI) shows that the fiber in scallions helps balance the intestinal microflora, thereby reducing the risk of constipation and intestinal diseases.

Scallions also contain prebiotics, a nutrient that helps nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, enhancing nutrient absorption and eliminating toxins from the body.

Recommended use:

Although green onions have many health benefits, you should not eat too much at one time to avoid stomach irritation. Nutritionists recommend adding green onions to your daily diet through soups, salads, or stir-fries to maximize their nutritional value.

Scallions are not just a simple spice but also a "superfood" with many significant health benefits.

In particular, people with weakened immune systems, risk of cardiovascular disease, or digestive problems should eat green onions regularly to improve overall health.
