Think Outside The Box

Fruits and Vegetables: Thinking out of the Box
Start thinking about making different choices from some of the "ordinary" fruits and vegetbles we typically eat. Enjoy!
The five best fruits and vegetables to eat:
1. Sweet potatoes instead of carrots
2. Papaya instead of oranges
3. Raspberries instead of strawberries
4. Watercress instead of mustard
5. Kale instead of spinachWhy switch?•

Sweet potatoes have nearly twice as much beta-carotene as carrots.
Papaya has 15 times more beta-cryptoxanthin than oranges.
Raspberries have three times more ellagic acid than strawberries.
One cup of watercress contains as much isothiocyanate as four teaspoonfuls of mustard.
Kale has three times more lutein/zeaxanthin than spinach
