Autumn ingredients full of vitamins in tasty desserts

Every season is associated with typical tastes and smells. Autumn is no exception. We are used to using mainly its fruits in desserts. However, this colorful and sometimes rainy season also brings delicious and interesting types of vegetables, why not use them in sweet treats as well?

A carrot

Perhaps the most traditional vegetable found in every household is the carrot . Beautiful color, sweet taste and a lot of vitamins, which will not only please our taste buds, but also support immunity , which will get a lot of work during the coming winter. It is not for nothing that it is considered a vitamin gem. It contains a wide range of vitamins, antioxidants and a lot of fiber. Its advantage is a minimum of fats and sugars, which, however, does not detract from its taste.

The effect of carrots on health:

• Improves vision
• It reduces the risk of cancer
• It helps against aging
• Protects against infection
• It reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases
• It reduces the risk of stroke
• It takes care of healthy teeth and gums
• Purifies the body
• It helps with migraines

In order for the body to more easily absorb all the necessary substances, especially beta-carotene , it is necessary to take it heat-treated. We know how to use it as a side dish to the main meal, in the form of a tasty soup, and what is the absolute best, it also stands out perfectly in a sweet dessert.

Our little ones probably have the biggest problem with the intake of vegetables. Getting vegetables into a child's diet is sometimes a superhuman feat. If you hide this tasty vegetable in your favorite sponge cakes , even the greatest inventor will not disdain it. Older people may think less, but when you prepare a dessert in which they do not recognize the secret healthy ingredient, they will certainly be very pleased. Gluten-free carrot cake with whipped cream is one such recipe. Who would have thought that the beautiful color of the sponge cake is due to carrots?

Beetroot

Beetroot, beetroot or red beet, does not have a naturally sweet taste and, moreover, it colors everything it touches, which is why it is not as popular as other autumn crops. It contains the most beneficial substances immediately after harvesting, so now is the best time for it. Vitamins of the B group, vitamin C and E and a lot of minerals will not only take care of your health, but also benefit your beauty. Diabetics should be careful , as this cyclamen vegetable contains a large amount of sugar.

The effect of beetroot on health:

• Regulation of blood circulation
• Lowering blood pressure
• Formation of red blood cells
• Strengthening immunity
• Support of digestion and detoxification
• Improves eyesight
• It slows down aging
• Adds shine to hair and strength to nails

If you haven't been able to imagine beetroot in the form of a dessert, we recommend combining it with high-quality chocolate. Simply conjure up a tasty cookie full of not only vitamins, but also a fantastic chocolate taste. We added sour currant jam on top and created the best flourless brownies for us.

We focused primarily on desserts, but the main course can also be made sweet, right? For such a case, we also have gluten-free beetroot pasta in our recipe chest. A little cottage cheese with butter and a sweet lunch full of beneficial substances is ready.

Hokkaido

As the name of this extraordinary Hokkaido vegetable already suggests, it came to us from the far east, from Japan. It has perfectly adapted to our conditions, so it is not a problem to grow it in Slovak gardens. The trend of a healthy lifestyle puts it on the top of our eating habits in the autumn months. Contains vitamins A, B, C, E and K, folic acid, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, iron, fiber, magnesium, sodium and zinc.

We enjoy it in the form of stew, sauce or creamy soup. Even though its shape resembles a pungent onion, its buttery taste is slightly sweet, so it's no wonder that the popular " pumpkin pie " has reached us. One such recipe was shared with us by our customer, we recommend you to try it, you will definitely prepare it every year.
