SCALLION 
SCALLION The scallion is one of the alliums, a family of anti-inflammatory foods (including leeks, garlic, onions, and ramps) that are staples for gorgeous skin and a healthy immune system. Allicin, a phytochemical found in scallions, helps preserve youthful collagen and prevent signs of aging by protecting a powerful enzyme in the body that stops the action of other collagen-digesting, wrinkle-forming enzymes. Just a few tablespoons of chopped scallions contains over 70 percent of your RDA of vitamin K1, a blood vessel strengthener, so eat up to keep capillaries strong and prevent dark circles and bruising. The supercharged combo of beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin in scallions also maintains youthful eyesight.
