There is a high level of vitamin C in broccoli. Broccoli is also packed with vitamin A, beta carotene, B vitamins especially B3 and B5, folic acid, phosphorus, potassium, iron, chromium, which is an easily absorbed form of calcium, zinc and lots of fiber. It's also loaded with carotenoids - antioxidants that are thought to help with weight loss.
Cauliflower is at its best from December through March when it is in season and most plentiful in your local markets.

| Sweet Potato Oatmeal Energy Bars | Category: Snacks
Description: A really delicious good-for-you dessert.
It seems strange to add sweet potatoes to a bar but because I love sweet potatoes, this recipe caught my eye. Not only are sweet potatoes readily available, inexpensive, and delicious, there are many other reasons to love these yummy vegetables.
Sweet Potatoes Are Highly Nutritious -
The Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes are that they contain vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, fiber, B vitamins, potassium and even iron. In fact, Whole Foods considers sweet potatoes one of the healthiest vegetables we eat. A medium sized sweet potato contains more than your daily requirement of vitamin A, nearly a third the vitamin C you need, almost 15 percent of your daily dietary fiber intake and 10 percent of the necessary potassium. Sweet potatoes may even protect cigarette smokers and those who live with them from emphysema by virtue of its vitamin A, as cigarette smoke creates a deficiency of this vitamin. This deficiency may be one of the causes of emphysema. Quitting smoking would be best, but eating plenty of sweet potatoes while you work on it may save your life. | | Full Recipe |
