In the movie Lord of the Rings, there is a man named Butterbur who helps Frodo on his journey.

I heard that butterbur is good for the lungs.

It is good for asthma.

Last year I read an article in the newspaper that it is said to be effective against cancer.

Today's dish is tempura of butterbur sprouts.

Wash butterbur sprouts, soak in water for 30 minutes, and pat dry.

Dip in gluten-free tempura flour dissolved in water and bake in oil.

So soft and delicious!

Spring will soon be over, so let's all hurry up and eat butterbur sprouts.
