😎 I usually think of turnips as more of a winter vegetable, but last week I received a bunch of small, sweet, turnips and they were quite good eaten raw and sliced thinly onto a salad. 🥗 🌰 Turnips originally come from Russia, Siberia and the Scandanavian península. They are a member of the cabbage family and has round or top shaped roots, white skin with purplish or greenish crowns, and thin, green, hairy leaves. 🌰 They flourish in poor soils and keep well, making them traditionally popular with the poor. However, it’s valuable for its nutrients and medicinal and healthful qualities.  🌰 Raw turnips have a tangy flavor similar to a mild radish but are sweet when cooked. The root is high in Vitamin C.

🎉 🎉 I learned so much about the health benefits of lettuce when researching this post! 🥗 I really thought that I was going to be writing about the fiber in lettuce, but there is so much more!
🥗 Lettuce is one of the most valuable healing foods because of it's high organic water content. 🥗 Lettuce also has nearly all the necessary vitamins.  🌿In California, we get our young nettle shoots in the early spring, but I know places where it's rainier, that get them for a longer period of time.
🌿 Nettles are mostly known for their needle like hairs that can easily penetrate the skin, which is the reasoning behind why they are called stinging nettles. 🌿 The stinging property of the nettle goes away when submerged in boiling water for a few seconds. 🌿 Nettles are known for a number of health benefits. |
