Days can feel gloomy, especially when it feels like you're leaving the house AND getting home in the dark! to head back home.

Hot stuff!
The sulfur-containing essential oils in red onions are good for the body and, like endives, especially for intestinal health. They are natural substances that have a similar effect to antibiotics in that they rapidly inhibit disease-causing bacteria. (the rawer, the higher the proportion of essential oils that the bacteria work away).
Onions and endive can be used in any salad. Try to add the onion raw in thin rings and with a little orange balsamic vinegar, mixed green salads, caramelized walnuts, a good olive oil and vegetables of all kinds.
