It’s the season for sweet, tasty spring vegetables.
Here’s a Japanese-style peanut dressing made with in-season new onions (shin-tamanegi, the sweet, juicy onions harvested in spring in Japan) and our peanut paste Shibu (unsweetened, made with the peanuts’ thin inner skins) ♪
Onions help support your body’s circulation, and the polyphenols in the thin skins of peanuts are expected to support good health, such as anti-aging and keeping your memory sharp.
