Mountain Vegetables: Sansai

Sansai is an edible vegetable grown in a mountain. In this season of a year in Japan, you can find it in a mountain and see it at a local farmer's store. Sansai is good for health. I watched TV program featuring Sansai this evening. It says Yomogi is good for blood vessel. Fukinoto is good for intestine. The most popular way for eating Sansai is Tempura. I do not cook Tempura at home because it needs to take care of a large amount of oil after cooking. But I was thinking of beginning to cook tempura and other fried foods as we are welcoming a new addition to our family.
