March 11, 2024: Food and Medicine Recipes for Cellular Revitalization by Kanpo Pharmacist Ai Okubo
March marks the beginning of allergy season, with pollen and kosa (yellow sand) in the air, as spring and winter weather alternate. To help you get through this tough time, herbal pharmacist Ai Okubo introduces "medicinal food recipes." This month's key ingredient is napa cabbage. Napa cabbage contains "isothiocyanates," which are expected to have antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-glycation, and anti-inflammatory properties. It's also rich in dietary fiber, which helps improve gut health!
Napa cabbage is delicious even raw and can be enjoyed in various ways. Let's get through the tough allergy season with "Gluten-Free Napa Cabbage Shumai," which can be easily made in the microwave without a steamer, and "Napa Cabbage, Dried Daikon Radish, and Fennel Marinade," which is packed with dietary fiber!
We look forward to your feedback and Instagram posts.
