Cauliflower.
The other white vegetable. Wait, what’s the first white veggie? Don’t know, but
I do love the cauliflower! Just steamed in the microwave, sometimes bathed in
some melted American cheese, but always yummy. These charmers are loaded with
vitamin C and those lovely antioxidants. What’s not to like?
Pears. So,
some people object to the texture of pears. There’s no accounting for taste.
Sweet and delicious, pears are a great source of fiber, vitamins and
minerals. They adopt the pear shape so
that you don’t have to!
Pumpkin. Thanksgiving
aside, pumpkin seems to be making a resurgence. It is popping up in coffee
houses and ice cream shops. Be careful, though, because most pumpkin flavored
foods contain little or no actual pumpkin. Pies are a notable exception. Again,
a great source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Sweet potatoes.
You either love them or hate them. Nonetheless, sweet potatoes are an easy
source of antioxidants, minerals and more than enough vitamin A to keep you
going for the entire day. As a last resort, consider making them into French
fries and seeing if anyone notices.
Do you love all five wonder foods? I only know one person
who adores all five, but you may be the second. If you look carefully, though, you will discover that just
adding a few to your diet can pay dividends in the vitamin, mineral and
antioxidant categories.
Happy eating!
