Описание: Enjoy more fruits and vegetables for a healthy life

Chef Brook Harlan's food-preparation demonstrations are an inspiration for easy ways to enjoy more fruits and vegetables. His easy-to-follow techniques encourage simple preparation of seasonal fruits and vegetables, whether they come from the backyard garden, farmers market, roadside farm stand, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) or the produce section of the local grocery store.

The recipe Chef Harlan demonstrates in this video is from Seasonal and simple: A guide for enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables, developed by the University of Missouri Extension Healthy Lifestyle Initiative. Funded in part by USDA's SNAP, the more than 100 recipes in the guide use simple preparations and seasonings to bring out the taste of a fruit or vegetable at the peak of its flavor. An alphabetical listing of the fruits and vegetables includes tips for their selection, storage and preparation. Nutrients and associated health benefits also are listed with each fruit or vegetable.
