I used to have a friend back in our university days who picks out onions when eating. She’s married to a rich man now and she still doesn’t cook with onions.

Op, always blend your onions. That’s the solution

Very simple.
Blend the onions with the other ingredients like pepper and tomatoes.

I'm facing similar issues. I have twin boys. 3+yrs. One eats onion and loves salad, the second boy don't want to even see onion inside his food otherwise he will reject the food.
Even shawarma he won't eat cos of the veggies.

I had to advise my wife to always blend the onion and other stuffs with the pepper, also you can give the equivalent of such nutrient in other meals that she loves.

Yes, the rules can change for anyone.
However,, you have the option of cooking her foods separately.

Lastly, you can let her be picking out her onions from her food.
Re: How Do I Make My 16years Old Daughter To Be Taking Onion In Food by Automolite: 2:08pm On Jan 11, 2022
For now, Just blend the onions or process the food in such a way that the onion will not be too visible.
What is important is that she gets the nutritional value of onions.
She will eventually outgrow it. I just started eating onions in any form a few years back, and I'm not under 20 wink..Even now sef, if the onion is too big, I will leave it on the plate for u.

Why does it bother you so much?
It is not even as if eating onions is a necessity of life.

If it matters so much to you that she eats onion, then just blend the onion whenever you cook. It is even more flavourful when blended. As long as she doesn't hate the flavour.

My sister picks out onions from her food too, so your daughter is not weird.

How is it a bad habit to not like a kind of food? I used to eat onions, started disliking and I might have started eating again. However, the punishments and beating strengthened my resolve. Till date, It is a chore eating food with onions and I rarely touch food with onions in it.
I became overly sensitive to its taste and texture.

Leave her be. She might outgrow it ot not. There is a particular food other people don't like, onion is no different.

Please let her be, I was once like that, I hated onions and veggies as a kid but I outgrew it in my twenties but with a condition. The onions had to be diced in a tiny pieces. Now without anyone telling me I add onions to my food. My younger sisters and friend who are in their early, mid and late twenties still hate onions till this day. I as an adult till this day hates beans. Just leave her be, she is not a toddler, she will change or live without eating onions which doesn't have any medical implications.

I still pick out onions till today, if it's not sauteed.

You have two options:

1. Add your onions earlier in cooking or sautee it.

2. Cook your own way and leave her with her picking until she can control her diet.


All children cannot be the same.


Don't make a separate pot of food for her, that's not good for her in the long run.
Re: How Do I Make My 16years Old Daughter To Be Taking Onion In Food by Kyra1(f): 7:04pm On Jan 11, 2022
Blend it. If she still doesn't like it. Then you guys would have to keep cooking hers separately so she can eat. My brother doesn't like onions in his food as well. But he doesnt go on Hunger strike. He prepares his own food.
Or you can let her know the importance of onion to her body. It gives good vision, helps in improving heart health, contributes to healthy bones etc.
Maybe she will change her mind.
Re: How Do I Make My 16years Old Daughter To Be Taking Onion In Food by Richy4(m): 7:45pm On Jan 11, 2022
If u want onion in your food, maybe u can blend it... I have never done or seen anyone around me blend onion before though... But if U think onion is so important maybe u can try it...

A picky 16yr old is old enough to do fasting if he/ she doesn't want to eat... It's not a big deal... Skipping dinner or lunch does not hurt much...
Re: How Do I Make My 16years Old Daughter To Be Taking Onion In Food by nnekaike(f): 9:27pm On Jan 11, 2022
My hubby and daughter don't eat onions,I blend it or cook without it.
My daughter does not eat any sort of protein (beef,fish,egg,chicken, turkey,crayfish,dryfish)
Moi-moi,akara is a NO.
But her BEST food is Beans and plantain.

When you say a person is weird,my daughter is the president.

Just leave her alone,so far she is healthy.

Some people don't just like it. And you can't change that. There's this room mate I 1ns had. Whenever I cook with onion he picks everything all out. And whenever he cooks he doesn't even use onion.

Me way like onion especially raw one on my suya, rice and beans, and yam porrage and fish grin grin grin

What a picky family u got there...Not in my house..If u don't want to eat, we will cook the same dish the next day with different 'melody and song' (meaning if they don't like fried turkey, we boil it but it must be turkey)..We do it again and again until they can tolerate it... I love kids a lot but I don't spoil them...

I have tried this on my daughter,prayed about it,sent her on holidays to her grandparents,uncle's place and its still same.

I have taken her to see a pediatrician,and was to told to blend the proteins.My daughter vomited and feel very sick after eating that meal.

If feel some people are created that way,just leave them like that.
