Broccoli is a great source of fibre, vitamins– K, C, E, B9 (folate) and minerals- iron, potassium, calcium, selenium and magnesium. It belongs to the cruciferous family (like cauliflower, cabbage and kale).
Parsnip a member of the carrot family, has a sweet, earthy and nutty taste. Perfectly suitable for hearty winter soups and stews. It is high in vitamins and minerals, especially potassium. It also contains antioxidants and both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre.
Celery seeds have an earthy scent, they can add a deep flavour for the winter soups and boost the meal health benefits. In traditional medicine, celery seeds have been used to treat conditions like cold and flu and as a diuretic.
