I ate pork with lots of green onions... what changes did my body experience?

Housewives are becoming increasingly worried as vegetable prices, such as napa cabbage and radishes, skyrocket. There are growing concerns about the cost of making kimchi. The rise in vegetable prices is attributed to reduced production resulting from sluggish growth caused by the heatwave that persisted until last month. On the other hand, there are reports that retail prices for green onions and ginger have dropped slightly compared to a year ago. Let's take another look at green onions, an indispensable ingredient in cooking.

 

Spicy flavor , Remove unpleasant odors , gravy ... How to use green onions ? seasoning vs soup , bang , jeon

Green onions are used as a seasoning, in soups, stews, and pancakes. Almost nothing goes to waste, from the roots to the leaves and stems. The spiciness and distinctive aroma of fresh green onions help eliminate unwanted odors. When cooked, they bring out a sweetness that allows them to be used as a sugar substitute. When making broth, utilizing the root portion can enhance the umami flavor. However, since allicin, a beneficial component, is volatile, it is best to avoid prolonged heating or soaking them in water for extended periods. When choosing onions, look for those with a long, firm white section that is glossy and feels heavy.

Lowers cholesterol and aids digestion ... The reason for the synergy with pork ?

Allicin, a component abundant in the roots of green onions, is responsible for their pungent taste. Its powerful sterilizing and antibacterial properties are effective in reducing food poisoning bacteria. It aids digestion, boosts immunity, and lowers cholesterol levels (according to data from the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences). Adding a generous amount of green onions to fatty foods, such as meat or stir-fries, inhibits cholesterol absorption. Since allicin helps with the absorption of Vitamin B1, consuming it with pork, which is rich in Vitamin B1, creates a synergistic effect. Vitamin B1 reduces fatigue and supports carbohydrate metabolism and nerve activity. Vitamin B1 content in pork is highest in the tenderloin, followed by the hind leg and then the foreleg.

 

Lung and bronchial health,  bowel movements .... The ingredients that slow down aging are ?

The white part and green leaves of green onions have different nutritional compositions. The leaves contain 277 µg of beta-carotene per 100g (based on data from the National Standard Food Composition Table). This component helps slow down aging and supports lung and bronchial health. Calcium (24mg) contributes to bone health. The white stems of green onions contain Vitamin C (3.55mg). The roots are rich in polyphenols, which retain most of their nutrients even when heated. These components reduce bodily damage and aging through their antioxidant effects. Green onions are also rich in dietary fiber, promoting smooth bowel movements.

 

Reduces the risk of stomach cancer ... People with weak stomachs should avoid overeating.

Green onions are classified as a vegetable of the Liliaceae family, along with garlic and onions. Citing research from the World Cancer Research Foundation (WCRF), the National Cancer Information Center stated that vegetables of the Liliaceae family lower the risk of stomach cancer. Green onions are a low-calorie, low-fat food, containing 29 kcal per 100g. It is best to choose green onions where the leaves are evenly green and the stems extend straight to the ends. The white roots should not be too soft but should be firm. However, because the allicin component in green onions irritates the gastric mucosa, people with gastritis or gastric ulcers should avoid consuming large quantities.
