Onions are members of the Allium genus of flowering plants that also includes garlic, shallots, leeks and chives. Onions are nutrient dense, they contain various vitamins, minerals and potent plant compounds that have been shown to promote health in many ways.

 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Ina Garden's Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp courtesy of the Food Network! Ina Garten’s strawberry rhubarb crisp is a dish best served warm (and with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream). The crispy crumble topping gives way to a warm, gooey fruity filling. What's that? Rhubarb, you say? Rhubarb is the fleshy, edible stalks of species and hybrids of Rheum in the family Polygonaceae, which are cooked and used for food. The whole plant – a herbaceous perennial growing from short, thick rhizomes – is also called rhubarb. Rhubarb is not especially rich in essential nutrients, and its calorie content is low. Learn more about the nutritional benefits of Rhubarb by visiting Healthline's article, Is Rhubarb Good for You? All You Need to Know.

 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup courtesy of Maryland Farmers Markets "Some call this #sweaterweather, we call it soup weather! This curried coconut butternut squash soup checks all the boxes. Creamy (yet creamless!), comforting, gently spiced, and easy to make, this vegan soup will keep you warm and cozy as the temperatures drop." "Butternut squash is a type of winter squash native to the Americas. Technically a fruit, it has long been utilized as a complete source of vegan protein by native populations when also paired with corn and beans. Together, the three are referred to as "The Three Sisters" and are a common sight in autumn. Butternut squash makes a great addition to many sweet and savory dishes. It is a potent source of vitamin A and other nutrients. Even though it is a high-carbohydrate food, it has a low glycemic index, making it a smart addition to most healthy meal plans. ~ Butternut Squash Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits
