5 Uncommon Benefits Of Onions You May Not Know

Cleaning the oven

Cleaning the oven and grill can be difficult, but with the help of onions, it can be done conveniently. The antibacterial and antiseptic properties of onion are particularly useful in this situation. 

Prevents bad odour

It is common in all households for rice to burn while cooking or milk to spill on the gas burner due to excessive boiling. Whenever this happens, keep a few slices of onion near the gas stove and it will absorb all of the odour in a short period.

Keeps your fruits fresh

When a chopped fruit is left for an extended period, the oxidation process begins, and it starts to turn brown. The sulphur and moisture present in onions help in slowing down this process and keep fruits fresh for a long time.

Removes rust

Rust is often caused by moisture in kitchen utensils, knives, and spoons. Onion juice is effective at removing rust.

Removes moisture

During the winter, moisture and dew on a car’s windshield is a common problem. If onion slices are rubbed on the windshield at night, the frost will not settle the next morning.
