Cucumber Spring Rolls Ingredients

  1. Cucumbers are loaded with vitamin C and caffeine acid which fights irritation and inflammation. They are very hydrating due to their high water content.  Also, the silica found in the cucumber’s peel reduces wrinkles and tightens up saggy skin according to this article in Huffington Post.
  1. Carrots are full of beta-carotene which is converted into vitamin A. This vitamin is critical for preventing premature aging. Beta-carotene is also shown to protect your skin from sun damage according to Mercola.com 
  2. Avocado contains lots of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. The oil in avocados helps your skin stay smooth, hydrated, moist and supple.
  3. Bean Sprouts also have lots of antioxidant and beauty enhancing compounds to slow down premature aging.  These antioxidants and compounds help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, scars, clear up blemishes and improve your skin’s elasticity so you look younger for longer according to Organicfacts.net
  4. Cilantro is a major detox food for our internal organs and surprisingly also has beauty benefits for the skin including soothing rashes, irritation, sunburn, and hives. It contains natural anti-histamine to help prevent the body’s release of histamines in response to allergens.

Okay, now that you know all about the amazing beauty benefits of my Cucumber Spring Rolls, lets jump straight to the recipe next.
