SC - onions being parboiled

[Terry Nutter]

Considering that most vegetables and fruits were considered unhealthy when
eaten raw or needing a food item that countered the ill effects, maybe
parboiling  (adding heat) countered the raw onion.  I can look in the
various herbals tonight and see.  I'm sure I've missed much but was gone a
week on vacation and unsubscribed rather than receive thousands of
messages.

It's a modern thought that raw vegies and fruits are good for you and I do
know that pre-modern people ate raw stuff but I know the herbals and
medical stuff often warn about raw fruits and vegies.  I'd be happy to
check and let you know.
