LIKE THIS? TRY THAT!
Find new fruits and vegetables on your next trip down
the produce aisle
BY LEAH HALEY, PARRISH CLINICAL NUTRITION MANAGER
With the variety of fruits
and vegetables available at
most supermarkets, a trip
down the produce aisle could be a culinary adventure. (Rutabagas! Star fruit!
Bok choy!) Most of us, though, tend to
stick to a tried-and-true itinerary.
But the routine of the same fruits and
vegetables leads to boredom, which in
turn puts us at risk for not consuming
the recommended 4.5 to 6 cups of fruits
and vegetables daily.
Each time you go to the grocery
store, pick up one new fruit or vegetable
to try. Here are a few suggestions to
get you started.

You like: Lettuce

TRY: Dark greens

Iceberg and romaine can't hold a nutritional candle to kale, spinach and collard
greens, which can offer up to 354 percent

of the daily value of vitamin A and more
than 1,000 percent of the daily value for
vitamin K. They're also rich in minerals
such as calcium, manganese and copper,
which help keep everything from blood
vessels to the immune system in optimum condition.

You like: Potatoes

TRY: Parsnips

Like their starchier fellow root vegetables, parsnips contain protein, vitamin C
and iron, but they pack more than twice
the fiber and have a sweeter, nuttier
taste. They're also high in folate, the
B vitamin that helps prevent anemia and
plays a vital role in the creation of red
blood cells and healthy DNA. (It's the
naturally occurring version of folic acid,
the maternity vitamin staple.)

You like: Carrots

TRY: Beets

Golden and red beets are low in calories but high in fiber, manganese and
folate, and their amino acid profile may
help the body extract a more complete
protein from the meats and fish you're
already serving.
