Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Can I use cooked onion instead of raw?
A: Raw onion retains more of its anti-inflammatory compounds, but lightly sautéing it can reduce the strong taste while still offering benefits.
Q: Is this safe for daily consumption?
A: Yes, in moderate amounts. Always consult a healthcare professional if you’re on medication or have underlying conditions.
Q: Can I give this to children or elderly individuals?
A: In small, age-appropriate portions, yes — especially if they tolerate the taste. Always introduce new foods slowly and monitor for any adverse reactions.
Q: What if I don’t like the taste?
A: Mix it with a fruit smoothie or add honey and ginger to mask the flavor while keeping the benefits.
