Medicine on the Seder Plate:

Parsley, lettuce, horseradish, and more! Bitter herbs, spring greens: these plants contain nutrients and flavors that are essential to our springtime bodies. In this class, we will explore the physiological wisdom in the plants we hold sacred. We will delve into the bitter flavor, as we discuss why neither horseradish nor lettuce, the foods often included as "bitter herbs" on the seder plate, are particularly bitter. We will learn about the vital importance of the bitter flavor for the functioning of our body systems, as well as the uses of the other flavors in these plants. We will discuss how our body's needs correspond with the seasons of the year, and how these differ by climate. What does your body crave in springtime, and how is or isn't) that reflected in our Jewish traditions? We will taste the plants on the seder plate and learn how these tastes interact with our bodies.
