Good to Know:
- Diets that include cabbage (in the slaw) and other cruciferous vegetables may lower the risk of lung, colon, breast, bladder, and ovarian cancers. Cabbage is also a source of vitamin C.
- The tomato soup is high in fiber and low in cholesterol. The in-season tomatoes it contains provide nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.
- Good to know: Fresh plums (in the rustic tart) contain fiber, potassium, iron, and vitamins A, B, and C (and dried plums are even more healthful).
- Allspice is said to promote healthy digestion. It's also a stimulant.
- Good to know: The chocolate cookies are a relatively healthy addition to the cookie jar. They're low in both calories and cholesterol, and they contain antioxidant-rich dark chocolate.
- In the ratatouille, the eggplant is high in fiber and potassium and has almost no fat. The soufflé makes a great low-calorie vegetarian main.
