Spring is around the corner and we can’t wait. It’s the season to enjoy carrots, spinach, artichokes, kiwi, beets and lots of other delicious produce. Among our favorites, we enjoy asparagus, scallions, and radishes the most. They are perfect to prepare classic, nutritious and elegant dishes for a garden party or a simple family lunch.
Radishes are great to enjoy raw, cooked or pickled. They are very recommended in diets for their low carbohydrate content and because it helps satisfy hunger. They’re excellent for your digestion, circulation, detoxing, and metabolism.
If you’re not used to including these items on your grocery list, Spring gives you the excuse to do so. Take advantage of the season and start preparing unique recipes with new fruits and vegetables. Here are three classic recipes to prepare with asparagus, scallions, and radishes. Enjoy.

Asparagus is even considered a superfood that can help detox your system and slow down the aging process. It also helps reduce the possibilities of cancer, it serves as a natural anti-inflammatory and help reduces the risk for heart attacks — not to mention all the vitamins and minerals!
Scallions are another versatile ingredient that helps stimulate your respiratory tract and prevents colds. It stabilizes your blood pressure, helps prevents a few types of cancer and allows you to sweat more when you’re working out. It contributes to reducing stress, tiredness, and it’s a great source of vitamin A, C, and calcium.
