Spring shopping

Spring shopping

In March there are 21 seasonal vegetables. Some advice for spring shopping.

On the 21st March, spring has arrived, but this year it has arrived one day in advance, so on the 20th March because 2016 is a leap year. So, our houses are full of colours, flavours and tastes that people wait for during the winter.
What do people cultivate in fields and what is growing on the trees?
In March there are 21 vegetables, from the 15th March topinambur and chicory  replace asparagus.
Asparagus id pour of sodium but rich of other mineral salts (calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium) and it completes itself with a lot of vitamine C. It has also cleanse and water properties.
March is the month during which people start to collect also beets, which are widespread in our continent. Beat is rich of vitamine A, C and K, so of folic acid (that helps to metabolize iron). High content of mineral salts (in particular calcium, magnesium and potassium) offers a good mix to fight against osteoporosis, while the richness of fibers improves digestion.
As regards fruit there are cedars, lemons and grapefruit, rich of vitamine C and minerals. These have a sour and sweet taste, and they can be used to make  different dishes.
Here are the list to do shopping in March.
