Remember the considerable amount of calcium and phosphorus. Eating asparagus stimulates kidney activity and therefore has a diuretic effect. However, anyone with kidney problems should avoid asparagus.

Pomelo – the “Big Princess” in the Realm of Citrus Fruits

The pomelo fruit was bred in Israel at the start of the 1970s by crossing grapefruit and pomelo. It quickly became a popular citrus fruit in the country, alongside tangerines, oranges, and lemons. After being grown in Israel, South Africa, Southeast Asia, and China, the fruit then named "pomelo" or "honey pomelo" appeared independently on European markets. In a warm and frost-free climate, the evergreen pomelo tree grows up to 15 meters tall. Pomelos weigh between 500 and almost 2000 grams. However, the pear-shaped pomelo's weight is partly attributed to its skin and the underlying white protective layer (or pith), which is up to two centimetres thick. The pith should be removed during preparation because of its bitter substance.

Caraway – a spice, a culinary delight, and a medicine all in one

Always carrying caraway on you is cheaper and preventative, especially if you have to eat out. Almost every salad is easier to digest if you sprinkle some caraway seeds on it. It is, of course, particularly digestible when served with all types of cabbage and pulses, and it is a special treat when sprinkled on raw beetroot, carrot and celery salads. Caraway also goes well with cheese and potatoes. If you love cheese fondue, you can do without the schnapps afterwards with caraway, or you can go straight for caraway schnapps (a popular spirit, especially in northern Germany). This tangy spice can also be used in sauces, soups, bread, and savoury cakes and pastries.

Frowner’s Winter Salad

As it is high in the red pigment betanin, beetroot has a strong protective effect. The ancient Egyptians recognised the healing powers of the celery root.

Aubergines (Solanum melongena) – healthy and quick to prepare

The aubergine was introduced to Spain in the 13th century and subsequently made its way to Italy. The first verifiable examples of it being cultivated can be traced back to China, although this is also suspected to have taken place in India. Because of its bitter taste, the aubergine was first used as an ornamental plant in Europe. Called "devil's egg" by Arabs, the French term "aubergine" became established. "Melanzana" is the name of the vegetable/fruit in Italy, which means "unhealthy fruit". "Eggplant" is what the aubergine is called in parts of the English-speaking world (US, Canada, Australia). This name refers to an old aubergine variety that was the size and colour of a hen's egg.

Cauliflower season has begun
