Berry Good For You...

The next time you go grocery shopping, don't forget to pick up a pack of colorful berries. Aside from their great taste, they are good for your health in more ways than one.

All types of berries are found to be nutritious and low in calories. Berries are known to contain phytochemicals, which also has been known to prevent cancer. Eating a diet that includes berries is highly recommended since it also can improve your vision, and provide essential vitamins such as vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, folate and potassium to name a few.

Frozen produce is as nutritious as fresh, and sometimes even more nutritious. During the winter, fresh berries are hard to come by, expensive, and usually not as high in nutrients as when they're picked in season. Frozen berries are less expensive and can be kept on hand at all times to be added to yogurt, hot or cold cereal, or a fruit smoothie!


BTW... We had the Turkey Meatballs and Spaghetti Squash last night for dinner - YUM!  The meatballs were tasty and delicate!  See blog  from 2/6/2012
