Here it is, my delicious dessert Arugula Black Mission Figs Salad with a little sweet and a little peppery flavor.

So let’s talk about arugula. 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.

Arugula is a leafy vegetable that is a great source of folic acid and calcium. Furthermore, arugula is a cruciferous vegetable and a member of the same family as cabbage and broccoli, and like all such vegetables, contains cancer-fighting phytochemicals called indoles.

In addition, arugula contains dithiolethiones which is an anticancer and antioxidant compound recommended by the American Cancer Society. It also contains beta carotene, vitamin A, calcium, iron and sulphur. Sulphur is the mineral that can detoxify liver, create mineralized hair, nails and glowing skin. Arugula’s strong and spicy peppery/mustardy flavour gives a little punch when mixed with milder greens and salads. Also, arugula is easy to grow and I just picked some young leaves again from my garden today and it’s already mid-October. All arugula recipes are my favorite. You have to try it!

Mission Figs – a powerful aphrodisiac

Mission figs are luscious soft plump fruits rich in folic acid, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorous and potassium. In addition, they have no fat, no sodium and no cholesterol. They promote bone density because of its good source of calcium. Figs are a great laxative as they provide more fibre than any other common fruit or vegetable. The fibre in figs is both soluble and insoluble. Figs also help dissolve mucus in the intestines.

Especially, mission fig is famous for its distinctive flavour. The fresh fruit exhibits a deep purple shade, which darkens to a rich black when dried, making this fig an aesthetic, as well as an edible, delight in all recipes.

Macadamia Nuts – contains over 80 percent beautifying fatty acids

Macadamia nut is a source of selenium, iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, carbohydrates and fibre. In addition, macadamia is high in zinc which is the beauty mineral and fat. Their fat contains over 80 percent beautifying monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (omega 9), which is a good fat.

Oleic acid significantly reduces blood serum cholesterol levels. It can enhances the protective high-density lipoproteins and suppressing low-density lipoproteins. According to the latest research macadamias also contain palmitoleic acid a monounsaturated fatty acids that acts as an antioxidant, which can prevent deterioration of cell membranes. I helps restore damaged and sunburned skin and also rejuvenates the liver. Furthermore, macadamia contains phytonutrient compounds, flavonoids, phytoestrogens, phytic acids, ellargic acid, saponins and lignans. Save
