Last Sunday (5th April) marked "Qingming," the fifth of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term of spring. A proverb says, "Sow melons and beans around Qingming," as the weather is warm, rainfall increases, and all things are clean and clear. It is advisable to dispel dampness, nourish the liver, and eat a light diet.

Recommended vegan dishes made with seasonal vegetables: 

1.  Stir-fried green beans and tofu with preserved olives

2.  Chayote and carrot vegetarian soup

3.  Cold cucumber salad

Consume food in accordance with the seasons. Seasonal veggies offer a deeper flavor and less pesticide residue simply because they grow according to the seasons. Fresh, sweet, and affordable, they are also widely accessible at marketplaces.
