If we had to choose but one food group, on the basis of sheer nutrition, it would certainly
be vegetables. are loaded with vitamins and minerals and have been shown to provide
protection against a variety of illnesses. When buying vegetables, choose those that are firm
and bright, with a fresh, light scent. Don’t buy older vegetables, those that are dried
out, shriveled, moldy, cracked, or with an overly strong aroma. Both taste and nutrient value
will be compromised.
If you don't see a variety that you're looking for, visit the Foods index.
