Seasonal and Simple is a guide to help you select, store and prepare fresh fruits and vegetables. The recipes use simple preparations and seasonings, so you can taste the goodness of a fruit or vegetable at the peak of its flavor. The fruits and vegetables are listed in the guide by their growing season — spring, summer and fall. Nutrients and associated health benefits are listed with each fruit or vegetable.
Use this guide to choose fruits and vegetables in season and get all the benefits — food that tastes good, is good for you and is reasonably priced.
It’s frighteningly and easy to overcook—or undercook—food in your microwave. And that’s not a surprise. Learn more about successfully cooking in the microwave.
TEST YOUR MICROWAVE SKILLS:
1. You can heat food in a take-our container; old whipping topping bowls or magarine tubs in the microwave oven?
SELECT RHUBARB
Choose flat stalks that are not curled or limp. Deep red stalks are sweeter and richer; tenderness is not related to size.
