The Eunice Power Column - Eat Yourself to Good Health


Eunice Power
Author: Eunice Power
Since I was a child carrots have appeared on my dinner plate several times a week. My mum used to tell us that they helped us see better in the dark – and she wasn’t too far from the truth. Carrots are energising and are a great antiseptic, as well as having anti oxidant qualities. Did you know that a single carrot will supply all your vitamin A needs for the whole day.

Purple Sprouting Broccoli


Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Author: In Season
Sprouting broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables and it’s a great crop to grow yourself because, strangely, it’s very rarely to be seen in the shops in Ireland.
