A Closer Look at Asparagus and Rocket

Asparagus is a naturally fibre-rich veggie that supports digestion and hydration. It’s also a source of folate, making it a smart inclusion during hormonally active life stages. Rocket brings in a peppery bite and belongs to the brassica family, known for its role in liver-loving, hormone-supportive eating patterns. Together, they create a salad that feels both grounding and refreshing.
