It’s important we do what we can to optimise Vitamin D through our diet during the winter months as the sun doesn’t hit the Earth at the right latitude for the production of those rays. The richest sources are full-fat dairy products, eggs, liver and oily fish. Sardines are super-convenient and cost-effective. Buy those that are packed in olive oil or spring water. Mash sardines with avocado, lemon, salt and pepper and wrap them in lettuce leaves for a quick snack, or add an egg or two to turn it into lunch. Or make some fritters. This recipe is one of my staples.
