ARUGULA – Angel Hair Pasta-Arugula Piquante Sauce
Arugula, also known as roquette or rocket; is a pungent and highly alkaline cruciferous vegetable. It neutralizes acid waste products from the blood and lymphatic system, and has antiviral and antibiotic properties.
In addition, arugula contains dithiolethiones, which is an anticancer and antioxidant compound recommended by the American Cancer Society. Arugula contains beta carotene, vitamin A, calcium, iron and sulphur. Sulphur is the mineral that can detoxify the liver, create mineralized hair and nails, and glowing skin.
Arugula’s strong and spicy peppery/ mustardy flavour gives a little punch when mixed with milder greens and salads. And it’s easy to grow; I just picked some young leaves of arugula from my garden in mid-October.
ZUCCHINI OR SUMMER SQUASH
Squash has been cultivated in the Americas for six thousand years. The word squash is from the Native American askootasquash meaning, ‘eaten raw’. Zucchini or summer squash is alkaline, diuretic and anti-inflammatory. It contains beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium and magnesium. The flowers are also edible and can be stuffed with a variety of different patés. Look for a squash that is blemish free.
