Both Egyptian walking onions and mint hold amazing health benefits for the human body. 

Egyptian walking onions are rich with an antioxidant called quercetin which can help protect the heart,¹ lower the risk of cancer,² regulate your blood sugar, and support your immune system.³ In addition to this, onions have many vitamins, along with being a prebiotic fiber to help gut health.

Known for its soothing properties, mint has traditionally been used to improve digestion, relieve allergies,⁴ nausea,⁵ alleviate headaches, respiratory issues,⁶ and acne, and facilitate relaxation and weight loss by improving digestion and boosting your metabolism.⁷ Mint plants contain vitamins A & C, menthol, fiber, and an antioxidant anti-inflammatory agent called rosmarinic acid.
