A Year of Living Naturally - Spring Recipes

Spring is upon us. Winter’s accumulated snow and ice are beginning to melt. Gentle rains soak the land. The earth itself seems heavy with moisture—saturated with it—and the landscape is becoming a wellspring of life. Spring is a season of birth, new beginnings, renewal, and growth—a time for the earth to make manifest the latent potential within all things. Seeds are germinating, flowers budding, insects buzzing, leaves unfurling. The best way to celebrate spring, is to go outside to forage the newly sprung bounty!

In Ayuveda it is believed that spring is ruled by the liver, and is the time where we should detox emotionally, physically and spiritually. That said I have decided to include some excellent recipes for you to spring clean your liver and improve your gut health with lacto-fermented foods.
