Word, people in Nanjing eat this on the beginning of winter!
Thread Content
There is a proverb in Nanjing: “If you eat half a scallion a day, your legs will feel cold in winter.” ”As the beginning of winter arrives, the people of old Nanjing pay special attention to eating raw onions in order to combat the dampness and cold of winter and reduce the risk of illnesses. According to the old man, scallions are warm in nature and pungent in taste; they can induce sweating, allowing the stagnant yang energy in the body to be expelled through sweat. Once the flow of yang energy is restored, pathogenic factors are also driven out along with the sweat.
You don’t even know; how can we know?
I don’t eat onions either, so how would I know?
At first glance, I thought they were from the South. :L
Scallions taste best when stir-fried with eggs, and the cafeteria serves stir-fried scallions with eggs at lunch.
