Farmtrue Recipe: Garlic Scape Herb Basmati Rice

5 min prep / 25 min cook

Keeping your cool in the summer starts from within! Living through long, hot days can throw your body out of balance. When things heat up outside, the best thing we can do is find ways to cool down internally, for our physical, mental, and emotional health. A simple place to start is simply adjusting your diet with the season. If our environment is already hot, the last thing we need to do is fire ourselves up with pungent, spicy foods.

We’ve teamed up with our friend Jenny at Contigo Kitchen to share some summer recipes to help keep your body cool naturally with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.
