Solidago decurrens L., commonly known as Canada Goldenrod, is a native perennial found across much of Canada and the USA. It features cascading clusters of golden-yellow flowers that bloom in late summer and fall, attracting bees, butterflies, and birds, making it ideal for pollinator gardens.
It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to address wind-heat colds, headaches, sore throats, lung-heat coughs, and more.

I’m making Uyghur/Uzbek pilaf today with colourful carrots I got from the farmers’ market. 👩🏻‍🍳🥕🥕
Each carrot colour has a slightly different nutritional profile due to the unique phytonutrients it contains.

🟧 Orange carrots:
• Rich in beta-carotene, a vitamin A precursor, supports vision, skin, and immune function.
• Beta-carotene is what gives them their bright orange colour.

🟨 Yellow carrots:
• Contain lutein, which supports eye health and may help filter harmful blue light.

🟪 Purple carrots:
• Contain anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and heart-protective effects.
• They usually still have some beta-carotene, especially if the inside is orange.

⚪ White carrots:
• Lower in pigments, so they have fewer phytonutrients like beta-carotene or anthocyanins.
• They still provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but have a milder flavor.

After eating spicy, greasy food, I enjoy a tea combination of fresh peppermint leaves, Chrysanthemum, and dried goji berries steeped in boiling water. This combination is also beneficial for liver detox in the spring season. 🍵🌼🍃🫖
