Take
advantage of the weather!
Fall can be a treat for the senses: Smell the crisp air, see the gorgeous
canopy of fall foliage, and feel the crunch of leaves underfoot.
Five Fall Super foods
Apples are delicious eaten raw or baked in a dish. Be sure to wash
well and eat the skin to get a dose of heart-healthy flavonoids. Apples are
full of antioxidants & approx. 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving.
Brussels sprouts are great combined with tangy or savory sauces, like balsamic vinegar. One
half cup contains meet daily recommended intake of vitamin K. Also a good source of iron.
Parsnips have a
light color and sweet, almost nutty flavor. Use them to flavor rice and
potatoes or puree them into soups and sauces. Rich in potassium and a good source of fiber.
Pears have a sweet
and juicy taste which can be brought out when baked. Good source of vitamin C, copper and fiber.
Rutabaga is a cross
between a turnip and a cabbage. Their earthy flavor make them ideal for casseroles,
pureed them with turnips and carrots to make a sweet soup, or roast them with
ginger, honey, or lemon. Good source of fiber and
vitamin C.
