Onions, along with Bao Bao, help maintain vascular health. Onions are one of the foods that contain the greatest variety and highest levels of phytochemicals. These components act like strong vasodilators; they can relax blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, and increase blood flow to the coronary arteries. They thus help prevent and treat hypertension, arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease. Purple onions have higher nutritional benefits than yellow onions, which is in line with the general rule that dark-colored vegetables are more nutritious than light-colored ones. Peanuts have a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids are beneficial for fat metabolism and can reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis and hypertension. Peanuts also contain relatively high levels of vitamin E and zinc; both of these micronutrients are important components for antioxidant effects, slowing down aging, and boosting the immune system. Eating peanuts in moderation regularly is a convenient way to obtain antioxidants in daily life. Both onions and peanuts have their own effects on improving blood lipid levels and vascular health, as well as multiple antioxidant properties. While consuming them separately allows for the utilization of their distinct nutritional benefits, eating them together can result in a synergistic effect. “\"Purple onion with peanuts\" **Method: Main ingredients: purple onion, peanuts.
