Vegetables grow from the soil
The richer our soil the more nutrients will be absorbed by the vegetables
Chemicals from pesticides make their way into the soil & into your vegetables
Try to eat organic where possible - even better - grow your own
Most vegetables retain optimum nutrients when eaten raw.
Great to chop into salads, make into coleslaws, stuffed in nori rolls, crudites
with dips - however you like 'em.
Tip: Potatoes are not good raw
& for the record - kidney beans are poisonous raw
Juicing vegetables is a good way to get a lot of goodness in one tasty shot.
Beetroot, carrots & red peppers are sweet & brimming with anti-oxidants.
