My First Event Announcement

Hi Friends!

I am really happy to announce that Palakkad Chamayal will be guest hosting its first ever event - Herbs and Flowers started by PJ. I would like to thank PJ for giving me the opportunity to host this wonderful event. This month’s star ingredient is Spring Onion.

Spring onions, also known as scallions, green onions, salad onions, green shallots etc are milder than onions and can be cooked or eaten raw. Spring Onions have been used as an ingredient in various dishes for thousands of years by many cultures around the world. They are widely used in soups, salads, Chinese noodles, fried rice etc.

Spring onions are a very good source of vitamin C, chromium and dietary fiber. They are also a good source of manganese, molybdenum, vitamin B6, and folate, potassium, phosphorous and copper. It is effective against colds, headaches, chills to the stomach, indigestion, and also for insomnia.
