The energetic nature of sprouts are UP and OUT! All the potential life energy of the plant, breaking through the seed's protection. Sprouts are an enormous source of energy! The first spring foods- baby sprouts and quick-growing veggies like radishes help to kick us out of our winter slumber and prepare us for lighter times ahead!
The following are just some of the ingredients used in this Love Your Liver Salad:
Green apples (and the sour flavor) stimulate the gallbladder and cleanse the liver. Green apples are even used as a therapeutic food for breaking up gallstones.
Beets are liver-loving foods too! They are blood cleansers and so help the liver to do its job. Eating them raw gives us more lightness- perfect for spring!
