Chioggia beets

The news: Still found mainly in farmers’ markets but starting to show up in specialty grocery stores, these red-and-white–striped roots are sweeter than other beets―and so beautiful, they might win over any beet doubters.

Feel-good factors: Beets have lots of fiber, potassium, iron, and folic acid, a B vitamin. Betacyanin, the pigment that gives beets their color, is a powerful antioxidant.

Ways to try them: Sauté the greens. Roast beets until just tender; cut up for salads (they’re great with avocados). Slice raw beets paper-thin; add to soup.

 Yummy Broccoli!
Put a couple tablespoons of Olive oil in a pan, saute fresh garlic (about 4 cloves), add broccoli and saute for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer into another bowl. Squeeze lime over the broccoli, add a dash of sea salt and cover in Parmesean cheese.... YUMMY!
