HEALTH & BENEFITS

Onions are a rich source of antioxidants and prebiotics that may help boost immune function and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
They also contain sulfur compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
However, the use of cream cheese and sour cream in this recipe can offset some of these health benefits, so it should be consumed in moderation.
