Increase resistance and prevent anemia ！ Rape blossoms in spring
Rape blossoms are beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B2, and minerals such as calcium and iron. These nutrients work in a comprehensive manner to increase resistance and prevent infectious diseases such as colds. Iron and vitamin C also help prevent anemia. It is recommended as a garnish, salad, pasta, gratin, and stew.

Delicious ＆ Increases resistance ！ Broccoli in early spring
Broccoli, in season from winter to early spring, is not fussy and is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, iron, folic acid and dietary fiber. When combined with protein, broccoli is a great way to increase your body's resistance to disease. If you cut them into small pieces from the start, the vitamin C is easily lost, so cut them into bite-size pieces after boiling them in small clusters.

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and fiber
Since strawberries are mainly used raw, there is little loss of vitamin C. They strengthen blood vessels, skin, and mucous membranes and enhance immunity. In addition, the red pigment, anthocyanin, has the effect of strengthening the liver and preventing vision loss. The vitamin C in strawberries helps the absorption of iron, making them a good dessert for foods high in iron, such as beef.
