Get more flavor, nutrition from produce with the right prep
Fresh vegetables and fruits are among the most nutritious foods you can prefer. Theyre low in calories yet rich in minerals, vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Thats why produce, along with whole grains, forms the basis of a healthful diet.
Whats more, the way you store, make, and cook these foods can magnify (or preserve)
their already healthy properties. Medical trials have shown that eating about two
cloves of garlic per day may help prevent platelets in blood from clumping,
which aid may keep your arteries unobstructed and decrease your risk of heart
attack. Medical studies have linked those benefits to thiosulfinates, compounds
that also give garlic and onions their pungent smell. Reference: http://edition.cnn.com
