3. Onion
Onion is an essential ingredient in any meatball mixture. Onions enhance the flavor of the meat and provide a sharper, rounder taste to the dish. Source organic onions for your meatball recipe. Organic vegetables have higher nutrition value than those farmed using industrial agriculture methods.
Farmers treat large-scale onion crops with pesticides that end up being absorbed by the onions through the groundwater. These toxins end up on your dinner plate and eventually in your digestive tract where they can cause many health problems. Organic farms use nothing but biomass fertilizer and other chemical-free nutrients to grow their onion crops, and it’s a far better strategy for health.
We recommend that you sauté your onions for 5-minutes in a hot skillet with some garlic before adding them to your meatball mixture. Sautéed oni0ons taste sweeter than raw onion, and they assist with binding the ingredients together. Meatballs wouldn’t be the same without the addition of onions in the recipe.
