Live a healthy life with green onions.
Get the right amount quickly!
"Nonoji Negipi"
Nonoji Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yokohama City, CEO: Takabe Yumehiro), a manufacturer and seller of home cooking equipment, will release the Nonoji Negi-Pie, a two-blade peeler in October that speeds up the slicing of green onions, a food ingredient said to boost the immune system.
When cutting green onions, even if you only need to cut a small amount to use as a condiment, you have to prepare a cutting board and a knife... Don't you think this is a bit of a hassle?
The Nonoji Negipi solves this hassle! Just slice the right amount with this one tool. With its dual blades, you can easily shave twice the amount in the same amount of time. What's more, it produces an extremely thin and uniform finish that is difficult to achieve with a kitchen knife.
"Nonoji Negipi" will be available in stores starting in October.
◆The secret to uniform and speedy slicing
The patented two-blade design (design registration no. 1617023) allows you to shave twice as much as a single-blade peeler in the same amount of time, while the sharp, high-density blade (patent registration no. 5891338) slices green onions crisply.
Each knife has been carefully polished to a professional blade, resulting in a lighter feel when pulling.
Even green onions, which are difficult to slice due to the direction of the fibers and the softness of the ingredients, can now be sliced neatly, evenly, and in a short amount of time.
◆The secret to making thinly sliced green onions
The sharp, high-precision blade slices green onions thinly and instantly, allowing you to enjoy them as a fresh condiment.
◆Other than green onions...
This is a highly versatile peeler that can also be used for other condiments, root vegetables, fruits, etc.

※Benefits of green onions
The green parts of green onions are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C, which have antioxidant properties and are said to suppress a decline in immune function. Furthermore, a paper by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) has reported that the mucus (nuru) contained in the green parts activates the immune system. The white parts contain an aromatic compound called allyl sulfide, which stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, increases appetite, aids in the absorption of vitamin B1, and helps relieve fatigue. It also has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It can also be expected to raise basal body temperature, which is said to be effective in boosting immunity.
