Summary

Vegetables are the elixir of life. You DO really need to eat them to stay healthy and help you age well. For very few kilojoules (calories), vegetables are the richest source of fibre, vitamins - such as vitamin C, minerals - such as potassium and phyto-chemicals - such as antioxidants and polyphenols. The Super Powers of Veg will teach you the 5 plus 2 rule, the size of a serve of vegetables (how much you have to eat), how to eat by the rainbow, vegetable tips for adults and children, and answers to those curly questions such as should you buy organic? This book shows you how to get in MORE at breakfast, lunch and in-betweens. Vegetables are an enhancement and a completion to any meal. Their colours balance the browns of meats and whites of chicken and fish. Their taste adds a piquancy and interest to the proteins on your plate. Not to mention that nutritionally they are vital to your health and well-being. The Super Powers of Veg gives you balance, completeness and good health.
