This thankful Tuesday is all about fresh-from-the-farm fruits and vegetable! Walking into the farmers market I feel like a kid in a candy store. Sure the candy is shaped like oranges and avocados and eerily tastes like them too, but the mouth watering sensation is reminiscent of salt water taffy or candied apples.
Immediately I come face to face with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and I couldn't help but notice the sage, mint, rosemary and basil just to right of me. The colors in the market are so vivid, striking and tantalizing. You can not deny the beauty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Even the items that don't necessary sit on your palate well - you still must compliment their raw attributes.
More often we need to give thanks for what it must have taken to get the food in the stores for us to purchase. I'm so very thankful that people take the time to harvest fruits and vegetables because I need them for my health; I need them to survive. There is a lot of radiation spewing into the air from Japan that attacks the cells in our bodies. Radation has already been discovered in the rainwaters on US soil. Fruits and vegetables can help protect us from this harmful radiation. Now isn't that something to be thankful for? In the mist of caos, we are always taken care of. Believe it, feel it and know it to be true.
Eat them raw when you can because the enzymes are deminished when you cook them but even if you lightly sautee them - the rewards will be great!
Namaste
