Early summer is a fantastic time for fresh produce, and Mountain Bounty is growing some truly stellar vegetables right now. At Rasa Kitchen, part of the California College of Ayurveda, we focus deeply on the strength of digestion, or "Agni", which is considered the root of overall health. This internal fire produces the energy our bodies need to function; when it doesn't burn cleanly, it's time to tweak our diet and support our digestive system. In the summer heat, our bodies naturally crave lighter foods. To stay balanced as the temperature rises, we want to focus on cooling the system with supportive herbs, sweet roots, and refreshing summer vegetables.
