Eating with the Seasons — Spring
By Sandy
As winter fades and days grow longer, the body naturally craves lighter, fresher foods. Spring is the season of cleansing, movement, and renewal — and your kitchen can reflect this shift.
Spring's Gifts
- Asparagus — liver support, gentle detoxification
- Radishes — spicy, stimulating, and deeply cleansing
- Nettles — iron-rich, perfect in teas and soups
- Peas — sweet, light, full of folate
- Wild garlic — pungent, grounding, immune-boosting
Seasonal eating isn't a rule — it's an invitation. Notice what appears at your local market and let curiosity guide you.
A Spring Principle
In traditional food wisdom, spring is associated with the liver and the colour green. Increasing bitter greens, reducing heavy fats, and embracing raw or lightly cooked vegetables supports the body's natural cleansing process.
Cooking with the seasons isn't about restriction. It's about alignment — trusting that nature provides exactly what we need, when we need it.
