got bitter?

Do you also consume more bitter greens in spring? Bitter foods help improve your digestion, stimulate liver and are often packed with nutrients. Bitter compounds can be found in a variety of plant foods - cruciferous greens, arugula, italian cichory, bitter melons, wild herbs and many others. Although my first association when it comes to spring detox and bitter foods are dandelion greens, I do have to admit that I sometimes find them a bit too bitter 🙈 that's no big deal because there is still plenty to choose from. For example, wild asparagus are now in season in a big part of Europe, so why not enjoy what nature gave us? I love to eat them raw, in salads, seasoned with a little bit of homemade naturally fermented vinegar. If you don't prefer them raw, you can also steam them or cook them in a soup. Anyhow, don't be afraid to implement some bitter foods in your diet.. your body will thank you.
