Winter Greens

Our parents are right – eating more fruit and vegetables will help to keep you healthy and winter-bug free. Give these recipes that contain flu-fighting ingredients a try.

Winter Green #1: Pomegranates	Cauliflower contains antioxidants, antibiotic and antiviral characteristics, says Jenkins. ‘The smell often associated with cauliflower is from the sulphur released during cooking,’ says Creed. ‘This is good news, as sulphur is both an antioxidant and immune stimulant. In fact, this kind of sulphur is an amazing respiratory aid too, as it helps to loosen phlegm and clear the lungs and sinuses.’ Cauliflower also contains vitamin C and if you eat 100g of this vegetable, you’re sorted for 70% of the recommended adult intake, she explains. ‘It is also a good source of vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B9 and folic acid, all vital in keeping us healthy during the winter.’ CAULIFLOWER SOUP Ingredients (Makes 4 servings) 1/2 head brocco-flower (or cauliflower) 1/2 onion, chopped 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 cup coleslaw cabbage blend 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 cups low sodium chicken or veggie broth – enough to cover the veggies 1 tsp curry powder Sea salt and pepper to taste Roasted pumpkin seeds (optional) Directions 1. Add all the veggies to a big soup pan and cover with broth. 2. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to medium simmering for about 25 minutes. 3. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. 4. Once cool, blend, dish it up and top it with pumpkin seeds. Recipe courtesy of Danica’s Daily
