Onion Microgreens - OG

✅ Health Benefits of Onion Microgreens

1. 🛡️ Immune System Support

• High in vitamin C, quercetin, and sulfur compounds, which support immune defense and help reduce inflammation.

2. 🧬 Antioxidant & Anti-Cancer Properties

• Contain allicin and quercetin, both known for:
  
  Neutralizing free radicals
  
  Supporting liver detox pathways
  
  Having potential anticancer effects (especially in stomach and colon cancers)

3. 💖 Heart Health

• Sulfur compounds and antioxidants help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and improve circulation.

4. 🧠 Brain Protection

• Quercetin has been shown in some studies to protect brain cells and may lower the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

5. 🦴 Bone & Joint Health

• Calcium, vitamin K, and anti-inflammatory effects support bone density and may help with arthritis symptoms.

6. 🌱 Detoxification Support

• Like garlic, onion microgreens enhance detox enzymes in the liver due to their organosulfur content.

7. 🦠 Antimicrobial Properties

• Allicin and related compounds can inhibit bacteria, viruses, and fungi, supporting overall health.
