Living in perpetual summer in Singapore means a fresh raw salad is always an option, as the weather is warm and we need to hydrate. Cucumbers and tomatoes are water rich, with a water content of 95% and 94% respectively. A diet rich in the fibre found in fresh vegetables is also thought to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Leafy greens, pumpkin and the cabbage family are rich in eye-healthy carotenoids and vitamin C, while red cabbage with purple anthocyanins is thought to benefit the cardiovascular system.
Packed with nutrient dense organic kale, pumpkin and cabbage, this salad is a great way of eating a rainbow-full of antioxidants. Diets rich in vegetable antioxidants help protect the body from both external and internally produced free radicles.
Add heart-healthy organic extra virgin olive oil in some form of dressing and you have a really healthy meal!
