Here is my pick for The Top 3 Fall Vegetables - what is so good about them, and how to know if they're fresh!
Broccoli- Rich in vitamin A and C (both of which are great for your immune system)
Look for: broccoli with firm stalks and tight dark green florets , it can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge
Squash- Good source of carotene, folic acid, potassium and fibre.
Look for: a squash with a matte skin, free of blemishes and sounds hollow when you tap it
Spinach- loaded with calcium, folic acid, and iron.
Nowadays, most spinach is sold in a bag but to prevent it from getting soggy and going bad, keep it in the crisper drawer. I have also heard that it helps to keep a piece of paper towel in the bag to absorb some of the moisture.
