I found that since the winter season whenever I had a hard time finding good produce’s am eating less fruit because my favorite fruits and vegetables are pepper, tomatoes, or in the summer season. But now I decide to make a change and eating local in-season fruits.
I decide to visit the market where I bought some fruits and vegetables are in season and what kind of health befits they provide
1) Kale: Kale is a leafy green that is packed with vitamins C and K, beta carotene, iron, calcium, and other nutrients. It is also thought to have cancer-prevention properties. I love spinach sautéed with garlic and olive oil and people say that this is also an excellent way to prepare kale.
2) Cauliflower: Cauliflower contains lots of vitamin C, folate, and fiber, as well as several photochemical that promote breast and prostate health. Cauliflower also comes in many colors, including purple and orange. I was nervous about buying this because I’m not a big fan of the broccoli or cauliflower flavors, but my friends make this really yummy, cheesy cauliflower casserole.
3) Pears: I didn’t grow up eating pears, so I never think to buy them, but I had one at my friend’s house over Thanksgiving and I loved it. This is good news for me because I don’t like most winter fruits. Pears provide a great dose of vitamins A, C, and E1 and also copper and potassium. I like pear sliced over salad with goat cheese and walnuts or mixed with Greek yogurt and honey.
4) Mushrooms: I love mushrooms so I was excited to hear that they’re a really important part of a vegetarian diet. Mushrooms provide riboflavin, niacin, and selenium, key nutrients that are found primarily in animal proteins. They are also the only fresh vegetable or fruit that contains vitamin D. Look for chanterelle or criminal (portabella) mushrooms this time of year. I like to make lasagna and replace the meat with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
5) Winter Squash: Even though I cook all of the time with summer squash, I find winter squash a little intimidating. It just seems harder to prepare. However, squash is high in vitamin A and fiber and low in calories, so I decided to give it a try.
We suggest just cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds, and roasting it, which sounds simple enough. What are your favorite fruits and vegetables at this time of year?
