Well-known British nutritional expert Lawrence Beeken does not recommend throwing out the onion skins or broccoli leaves, but preparing meals using these parts of the fruit..

According to the expert, if you cook meat with onions in this way, you can reduce the content of carcinogens in a fried dish.. In addition, onion skins contain a lot of quercetin, which reduces blood pressure and prevents clogging of the arteries, which has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effects on the body..

As for broccoli leaves, if you grind them and add them to a vegetable smoothie, the drink will be filled with carotenoids and vitamins A and C..
