The Simple Onion Recipe People Are Raving About
After testing dozens of methods, one preparation stands out for both potency and ease: the Red Onion-Lemon Elixir. It preserves the raw sulfur compounds and pairs them with lemon’s vitamin C and polyphenols for better absorption.Red Onion-Lemon Elixir (10 minutes, 2–3 days’ supply)
2 large red onions (highest in quercetin)
1 medium organic lemon
1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (activates quercetin)
Optional: ½ teaspoon raw honey if you need a touch of sweetness (use sparingly if watching sugar)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Peel the onions and grate them finely (food processor works too). Yes, your eyes will water—that’s the good stuff being released.
Place the grated onion in a glass bowl. Squeeze the entire lemon over it.
Add apple cider vinegar and black pepper. Stir well.
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so the compounds react.
Optional: lightly press through a fine strainer if you prefer less pulp. Keep the liquid and pulp—both are beneficial.
Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
How to Use
Start with 1 tablespoon in the morning, diluted in ½ glass of water.
If tolerated well, increase to 1 tablespoon morning and evening.
Always take with or just after food to avoid stomach upset.
