October 4: Enjoy Simpler Recipes this Yom Kippur
Recognize the holiest day of the Jewish calendar! Yom Kippur can be a somber holiday as it is the Day of Atonement for the Jewish people. The day is spent with a 25-hour period of fasting, intensive prayer and attending services. It is a time to clean the spiritual palate of all that burdens you.
While fasting is a part of the tradition, there are traditional meals during Yom Kippur that can also fulfill the actual palate. Food for breakfast and the pre-fast meal is often low in salt and simply prepared. Fruit salads are common along with low-salt soups. Dishfolio food bloggers found recipes that are low in salt but still offer herbal flavor. While they may not be the best for great food photography, these meals are still flavorful, simple, and nutritious. Try a few today and take some time for reflection too!
