April does not only herald the awakening of nature; it leaves a "healing basket" on our tables that lasts for a short time but whose impact spreads throughout the year. This fresh trio of spring—Green Almonds, Artichokes, and Strawberries—draws attention not only with their flavor but also with their special care for specific organs.
