Have you ever seen someone put a nail into an onion and wondered why? This traditional trick, passed down through generations, has a fascinating purpose that many people don’t know about!
The reason behind this simple yet effective hack might surprise you—it has practical, culinary, and even gardening benefits. Let’s explore why you might want to try it too!
1. Enriches the Onion with Iron 🏋️♂️
✅ A rusty iron nail releases iron into the onion when inserted

💡 In some cultures, iron-infused onions were added to soups or broths to naturally boost iron levels!
2. Improves Soil & Boosts Plant Growth 🌱
