Pakistan’s most underrated vegetable
We eat **pyaz** every single day — and it’s silently doing more for our health than any “superfood” you’ve heard of.
Benefits
– **Heart health** — quercetin lowers BP and cholesterol
– **Cancer fighter** — sulfur compounds linked to lower stomach cancer
– **Blood sugar control** — chromium helps insulin
– **Strong immunity** — anti-bacterial, anti-viral
– **Bone density** — surprisingly strong evidence
– **Hair growth** — apply onion juice to scalp (yes, smells terrible, works)
Raw vs cooked
– **Raw** (kachumber, salad) — strongest anti-bacterial
– **Cooked** (bhuna) — sweeter, easier on stomach, still healthy
– **Caramelised** (for biryani) — less nutrients, max flavour
Daily uses
