When I lived in Germany, everyone there was telling me how lucky I was to arrive in time for Asparagus season and I didn’t really understand what the big deal was all about lol. I soon discovered why it was such a big thing for them though and I was lucky to be there at that time.
I was telling my sister yesterday that I was going to grow asparagus and she just screwed her face up and said she didn’t really care for it. I think maybe she hasn’t tasted it fresh and cooked the right way but I didn’t tell her that lol
In macrobiotics, it’s all about yin and yang, balance, hot and cold etc. So it makes no sense to eat cold foods like fruit or ice cream in the middle of winter when your body needs warming foods. But they are perfect in the summer when you need to cool your body down.
