You are about to leave winter behind, so it is high time you top up your internal vitamin-storages. We gathered the best seasonal fruits and veggies to help.
Carrots can help tremendously in the protection of your body, so you keep on needing it as spring is coming. Carrots, besides being excellent vitamin-sources are very good for your digestion, too. And this veggie is a great base material for all sorts of smoothies coupled up with fruits, but is a versatile source of nutrition in many forms. You can eat it baked as garnish, but it is great in raw form, too, or even pureed. You will soon see the multitudes of fresh radishes on the shelves. White radish is high in vitamin A, B and C. Pro tip: the crunchiest ones are the hard and smooth ones. Shallot and wood garlic are also great healthy foods, because on top of their amazing vitamin C and B content they contain such important elements like folic acid, iron, iodine, magnesium, zinc, kalium and potassium. They make up a fantastic salad, complete with a bit of radish, or with the super-healthy rocket. Rocket is happy to grow on the balcony as well, so you can fit it in your diet easily. Spinach is also an amazing extra, but it is a great idea to steam it and eat it as a standalone dish, mostly because wintertime depletes your iron-stores.
Have you ever considered mixing spinach and oranges in a salad? Try it! Their harmony is amazing. Orange juice is great in salad dressing, too. Oranges contain a lot of vitamin C and A, they strengthen the immune system, which makes them an outstanding choice towards the end of winter.
