Good to Know
  • Swiss chard (in the pasta) is one of the most nutrient-rich vegetables imaginable. It's high in vitamins A, C, E, and K, and in iron, potassium, and dietary fiber, among other nutrients.
  • Radicchio (in the caprese)is a good source of antioxidants (the antioxidant anthocyanin gives it the deep color).
  • The rhubarb compote is an amazingly healthy dessert. It's low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol; it's also high in fiber.
  • Green peas (such as the Sugar snap peas) are a great source of protein. In fact, of all fresh vegetables, they rank second highest in protein (after lima beans).
  • Plain yogurt is a good source of calcium, vitamin B2, iodine, zinc, and potassium. High-quality yogurt will most likely contain live cultures, which have been shown to help the immune system.
  • A recent study showed that eating garbanzo beans may lower your "bad" cholesterol. The New Orleans shrimp sauté is a great choice for the health-conscious eater. It's low in calories and fat.
