A "detoxification diet" is actually something you can do everyday by incorporating certain foods into your diet. Think of it as an inclusion diet where the focus is to bring in a variety of detoxification-supporting foods each day. Kohlrabi is an excellent food to support detoxification! It is a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli, cabbage, radishes, and kale, and it's part of the Brassicaceae family of vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain compounds that can upregulate biotransformation pathways in order to transform and excrete toxins.

For the past few months, citrus and cabbage have become two of my favorite foods! This light and flavorful salad combines them both in the most refreshing way. I use napa cabbage, which is especially tender and mild—more delicate than green or red cabbage, with a slightly sweet flavor and soft, crinkled leaves. It’s also a favorite in our house. My oldest daughter even likes to pack napa cabbage leaves in her school lunch! All four of our children devour this salad in no time. Napa cabbage is high in folate, calcium, vitamin C, along with gentle levels of glucosinolates—compounds that support your body’s natural detoxification processes through liver enzyme activation.

We're back with fabulous elimination diet recipes. Oh, how I adore the lovely lemon! I can't tell you how excited I was to taste lemon juice once again. This flavorful dark leafy green salad is a staple in our house this time of year. It utilizes hardy and super nutritious greens such as kale and collards.
