Welcoming Spring into Our Kitchens
Tips for Spring Cooking
- Add fresh greens to your meals (e.g., kale, collards, watercress, parsley, and other hardy greens)
- Use lighter cooking methods, such as short-time boiling, steaming, and quick sautéing
- Reduce the amount of salt and other seasonings slightly
- Use foods and pickles fermented for a shorter period of time
- Include wild grasses, sprouts, and varieties of grain that have matured over the winter. (Wheat and barley have lighter energy than other grains.)
- Add green onions and chives to your soups and other dishes
