Garlic· held over from the harvest1 g

Method

Bake the beetroot in foil rather than boiling it — an hour at 190 °C concentrates it instead of leaching it into the water. Toast the walnuts, and chop them rather than grinding: this should have texture.

What this page cannot tell you

Your weight, height, age or how much you move. The baseline is 2000 kcal, a round planning figure for an adult of average size. At 55 kg, or if you run, shift it yourself.
The seasonal windows are market windows rather than botanical ones, and carry about a fortnight of resolution. A place’s offset from its zone baseline is one integer: it knows nothing about altitude, and nothing about this spring being late.
Every crop has exactly one fresh window per zone. Spinach and lettuce genuinely crop twice, spring and autumn, and only one of the two is shown here.
Oats are counted gluten-free. That is true of the grain and false of most mills; with coeliac disease, buy oats certified on a dedicated line.
Gentle is a kitchen heuristic, not a medical diet. Pancreatitis, IBS and an acute gastritis need a doctor, not a page that reads the weather.
Weights are raw and as purchased. Grains take up water and meat and vegetables lose it; the calories are counted before the pan, not after.
The weather is a forecast, and beyond three days the apparent temperature moves by a few degrees. The end of the week is an intention, not a fact.
