Hello Angels,
One of the best thing about living in Italy is a lot of fruits and vegetables. There is only one vegetable that I can’t find in Italy which is okra.
Okra is very popular in Turkey and there are plenty of okra in summer time. I love okra so much and I can only eat in Turkey. I looked for almost every market in Rome but I didn’t find it.
Summer is the fantastic time to change your diet. Fruits and vegetables are most nutritius and delicious when they are eaten in season.
Hot weather, and sweating ups dehydration and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. You can avoid dehydration and other deficiencies with fresh fruit and vegetables.
