Naturopathic Doctor Says:

The anti-oxidant packed pimentos are made from red bell peppers, which are high in levels of vitamin A, vitamin C and beta-carotenes. Onions are high in quercetin, a flavonoid used to calm an over-active immune system, and have sulfur compounds which are needed for proper liver detoxification. Parsley helps the kidney and urinary system clear excess body fluid and can help with blood pressure. Raisins have ample amounts of anti-oxidant phenol compounds and high amounts of boron, which is a mineral that helps strengthen bones.
