Hi All!
Now with the summertime upon us, it's ideal to go out and enjoy nature's abundance. The lower mainland produces some of the best produce in the world, so why not enjoy a summer salad tonight?
Now, we all remember our mothers gently reminding us to, "eat your vegetables!" but why are they so good for us anyways? Well here it is in a nutshell.
Vegetables (and we will focus on leafy greens today) are power packed with vitamins and minerals that we all need for optimal health. Not only that, but the fiber in these vegetables is good for our digestive health as well.
Leafy green vegetables are a great source of Vitamins; A, C and K. As well as Folate, Iron and Calcium. Folate for example, is extremely important to the proper development of a baby's nervous system.
Now, something you may not have known is that when you do eat these vegetables, it's recommended that you add just a little bit of dietary fat like butter, olive or canola oil, or dressing so your body absorbs the Vitamins better!
Wow, who would have known these delicious plants packed such a punch!
