Don’t forget the BITTER TASTE.
Bitter taste belies a combination of the lighter elements air and ether. These elements bring light and dry qualities, which in small amounts is good to balance the heavy qualities of the winter foods we crave in cold climates.
If you are beginning to feel sluggish digestion or mind coming around as February gets going, try increasing your greens.
Anything green is going have some bitter, like parsley, brussel sprouts, kale, and broccoli. I like to garnish with fresh parsley as a rule in late winter and early spring. It brings a lift to any meal in two seconds!
