Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why are we so obsessed with carrots, onions, peas and tomatoes?
Do you care how many kinds of vegetables and fruits you eat daily? We all know that they are good for our health. Experts suggest we consume a third of the food we eat daily with vegetables and fruits. They provide us with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Also, it is beneficial to consume a wide variety of vegetables and fruits even though they aren’t always available or budget-friendly. And even if there is a wide variety of vegetables available at reasonable prices, we tend to eat the same kinds of vegetables most of the time. That may be because we have limited recipes, budget, and capacity for storage. Another challenge is that vegetables and fruits won’t last so long. One solution to these problems is to use frozen, dried, and canned vegetables and fruits. They are widely available, usually economical, and easily added to your dishes. Just an apple a day may not keep your doctor away, but one more vegetable per meal might work.
Enjoy reading the article and thinking about what another vegetable or fruit might be for your next meal.
