Beets, grapefruit and dandelion are the three spring cleanse foods. Beets thin and support the flow of bile which decongests the liver. Beets also support the blood and have a laxative cleansing effect.
Lemon juice is a powerful cholagogue that also flushes bile and empties the gall bladder. Parsley is a digestive and diuretic. Simple, but with a Mediterranean flare.
Ingredients
2 c of beets
1/4 tsp of black pepper
1/4 c of celery stalk
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/2 whole lemon
1/4 c parsley
1/4 tsp mineral salt
1 tbsp of sunflower oil
Preparation:
Dice beets and celery and add them to a large pot. Add salt and lemon juice. Add water until vegetables are submerged and bring to a boil. In a separate pan, sauté cumin seeds in oil and add to the soup, cooking until beets are soft. Chop fresh parsley and garnish over the top
