Getting all the proper nutrients into a winter diet can be a difficult task. Our attention has turned from the fresh produce of summer into the storage ability of root vegetables. While root vegetables offer an array of nutrients, there are other fruits and vegetables that are ready for picking come winter. These 5 fruits and vegetables will add diversity to your plate and give you the nutrients you crave throughout the winter.
Drinking juice is a pleasant way to keep your diet packed with nutrients. If you use organic ingredients, you can also avoid absorbing pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that are unfortunately often found in many contemporary food products. A juicer processes the fruits and vegetables you need into an easily digestible and tasty form.
While perusing the fruit and vegetable department of my local grocery store several years ago, I came upon an interesting looking fruit. I had never had it in my life at that point and was looking for something new to add to my diet that was healthy.
I had read about the kiwifruit and knew that it “packed a punch” of vitamin C. There was one sliced open, and I was intrigued by its beauty as well. What an interesting looking fruit it truly is. Of course, it went into my grocery cart along with the rest of my items. I had to try it.
