△ Potatoes

Although the carbohydrate content is high, the calories per gram are lower than rice, so it can be eaten instead of rice when on a diet, and the feeling of satiety is high.
△ Cauliflower

The onion
Onion skin is rich in a substance called quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. This substance relieves the symptoms of arthritis and reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. As the quercetin content increases as the outer skin goes, it is best to boil the whole skin as much as possible when making the broth.
