Thursday Lunch: Steamed Garland Chrysanthemums, mushrooms and bell peppers. 🌱😋❤️

Hello everyone, hope you have a wonderful day so far as we close to the weekend now! 🤗

Today I made a light lunch of steam Garland Chrysanthemum leaves, sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, garnished with dehydrated garlics, onions and a little bit of gf soy sauce dipping. 😋👍

I love Chrysanthemum leaves so much for their mildly grassy, herbaceous taste with stalks that are sweet and slightly crunchy. Besides, they are excellent source of potassium, fiber, vitamins A and C, calcium, and flavonoids. They are also used to treat chest pain (angina), high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fever, cold, headache, dizziness, and swelling through holistic approach.

I enjoyed this very much and had a nice treat of chocolate fudge and a cup of tea. 😁

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Looks delicious and so healthy. I've never tried the Chrysanthemum so I'm intrigued to try its sweet taste you are talking about. Enjoy it with your perfect fudge and some tea🙏🤗.

Thank you Zazen very much! 🤗🙏

It’s autumn greens now so it’s very popular in supermarkets. Hope you can find some over there. Very interesting taste of this leaf. 😋👍

Enjoy the rest of your evening now. 😊

The more posts I read here, the more I realise I’m not nearly as knowledgeable about food as I thought. But I’m loving discovering new foods and learning about them. The garland chrysanthemum sounds amazing. Your meal looks delicious too 😋

Awe thank you HungryHufflepuff very much for saying that! 🤗🙏

I think we get more varieties of veggies so I’m fortunate enough to try many things. We all love to discover many Mother Nature goodness as we go. 😋👍

Hope you have a beautiful weekend ahead with lots of wonderful meals! 😊

I’m always inspired by you and many others to make our vegan meals not only taste but look delicious too. 😋👍

Hi Happyman4, I was a bit worried yesterday if everything was alright with you and your family because I didn’t see you here. 😅 I’m glad you are doing great. 😁👍 I’m so sure your wife knows this and I think she likes the unique taste of this leaf (steamed or boiled)

These are absolutely healthy greens that we can have, usually we go by their strong taste too as they are very potent. These can be sauté or make into soup also with any proteins of your choice.

Hope you have a great weekend with family and friends! 🤗
