Cooking with seasonal fruits and vegetables is one of the best options, both for your health and your wallet. On one hand, you benefit from consuming fresh ingredients, and on the other, it is more economical to buy seasonal ingredients. Enjoy a meal with great flavor and quality at a low cost with this 4-course menu: Appetizer Recipe: Buffalo Celery Sticks Celery is packed with vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, B9, C, E, and K) and is an excellent antioxidant, cardioprotective, and diuretic. The high fiber content in celery helps reduce cholesterol present in the intestine. Salad or Soup Recipe: Warm Chayote Salad Chayote is low in calories (only 22 per 100 g) and helps combat fluid retention. It controls some symptoms of hypertension and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Recipe: Easy and Light Spinach Cream In addition to having vitamins C, E, and K, spinach is rich in flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals. Some studies suggest that these may help prevent certain types of cancer. Main Course Recipe: Cabbage Risotto Cabbage has more vitamin C than orange and more calcium than some dairy products. Its high levels of Omega 3 make it an ideal food in the diet of people with cardiovascular problems. Dessert Recipe: Mamey Ice Cream Mamey provides a lot of energy and is rich in potassium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium. If you want to add an extra dose of vitamin B1 (a nutrient that helps control people's mood) to your dessert, add another March fruit: strawberry.
