Vitamins & Nutrients found in Scallions (Click for details)
Calcium is essential for strong bones and muscles and a healthy heart and nerves. It is found in diary products (milk, yogurt, cheese, etc.), broccoli, kale, soft-boned fish such as sardines or salmon, and calcium-fortified foods and beverages. Note: The body requires Vitamin D in order to absorb calcium. Calcium deficiencies could result in low bone mass which leads to weak bones and osteoporosis. Children deficient in calcium may not reach full height. Calcium supplements or ingesting excessive amounts of calcium may pose risks such as heart attack or prostate cancer.
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is one of the eight known B Vitamins. When consumed in a regular diet - preferably raw, it helps keep your heart and nervous system working properly. Without it you would suffer from diseases of the nervous system, weakness and pain in your arms and legs, heart failure, amnesia, and more.
Raw green peas, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, asparagus, lima beans and tuna are the ideal source for B1, although it is found in pork and oysters, cooking them at high temperatures destroys the thiamin.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps your body grow and produce new cells, with the help of the other B Vitamins. Without riboflavin, you would have a host of problems including cracked lips and other mouth problems. You would be highly sensitive to sunlight.
Unlike other vitamins which lose their nutritional value when heated, riboflavin is depleted by light. After 4-6 hours of exposure to light, nearly half the riboflavin content is depleted.
Cheese, yogurt, ice cream, meats, liver, sweet potatoes and green leaf vegetables are all rich in B2.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps your nervous system send messages to and from your brain. B6 also helps your body break down the protein from the foods you eat.
If you don’t have enough B6 vitamins, you would be likely to suffer from depression, high blood pressure, water retention and more.
Protein foods are high in B6. Mainly meat, nuts, wheat germ, brown rice, beans, peas, bananas, brussel sprouts, halibut, avocado, cantaloupe, tomatoes, roast beef, cottage cheese.
Folate has many functions. Like Vitamin B7, it helps prevent birth defects in babies if consumed during pregnancy. It may also slow the effects of age on the brain. Folic acid helps create red blood cells and repair DNA. It can help prevent Alzheimer's and some forms of cancer.
You can get plenty of folic acid in your diet by eating greens like broccoli and green beans, leafy greens like spinach, papaya, lima beans, asparagus, avocado, and squash. Citrus fruits, strawberries, nuts, seeds, beef liver, eggs and legume also provide folic acid, as does brown rice, wheat germ and fortified grains. Fortified foods contain Folic Acid, the synthesized version of Folate.
