Starting in April, every day I am excited about the warmth. When I put on my spring clothes, I noticed that my pants were getting tighter last year.

Apparently, a considerable amount of fat was accumulated in winter. Next week, the company's health checkup is imminent ... The food editorial department offered me a recipe book that was a helping hand to the author who was forced into a difficult situation.

There are two recipe books to introduce this time: "Don't get sick! Onion ice health recipe" (Yoko Murakami / Ascom) and "Onion ice health diet" (Yoko Murakami / Shufu to Seikatsusha). On the obi of one of the books, it says, "I lost 2kg in a week!" Apparently it's also a diet-related book. But what is the title "onion ice"?

■ Amazing health benefits of onions

These two books are produced by Yoko Murakami, a culinary expert and registered dietitian. In modern medicine, it seems that "1/4 (50g (1.76oz)) of onions every day keeps away all diseases". For example, many health effects such as "lowering blood sugar level", "keeping blood lipids and bad cholesterol away", "recovering fatigue", and "soothing nerves" have been discovered so far. Onions, foods that are good for health, beauty, diet and almighty. However, when it comes to ingesting 1/4 onion every day, this is quite difficult for modern people who are busy with something. Therefore, Mr. Murakami proposes "onion ice". With ice-shaped onions, each person can eat only two onions a day at any time.

When you taste the freshly made puree, it does not have the spiciness peculiar to onions, but it is full of gentle sweetness like a new sweetener. By preheating, oligosaccharides increase and the spiciness disappears. This easy-to-eat taste is the biggest attraction of onion ice. At this point, I was convinced that I could continue.

■ Recommendation of onion ice life

One ice cube for commercial instant soup, ramen, miso soup, curry, etc. The richness and sweetness are added, and the taste changes to a surprisingly rich taste. Also, if you drink it as a hot drink before going to bed, you can get a good night's sleep.
