The origin of radishes is difficult to pinpoint as no written history of the root vegetable was recorded. West Asia and Europe are two possible places of origin because wild forms of radishes now grow there. Radishes grow very quickly even sprouting from seed to small plant in as little as three days.<br />

Radishes have no fat or cholesterol and rich in dietary fiber. For such a small vegetable, they provide one with plenty of carbohydrates and therefore energy. Due to the high water content in addition to the carbohydrates, radishes fill you up and greatly help in losing weight. Radishes are an anti-congestive relieving congestion in the respiratory system during those winter colds and spring allergies. Other health benefits include protection against heart disease, strokes, and alzheimer's, DNA repair and protection, slow aging, and alleviation of high blood pressure. Fever and insect bites are known to be alleviated by radishes. There are many benefits from adding a serving of radishes into your diet once a week!<br />

Mizuna is a native to China but is now primarily cultivated in Japan. It is considered a specialty green in the United States and has limited exposure outside of Asian and farmers markets. It has been described as having a pleasantly sharp taste and slightly spicy, similar to arugula.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The dark leaves of mizuna provide most of the nutrition including beta carotene, vitamins, and minerals. These include calcium, dietary fiber, iron, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin A, C, E, and B6, manganese and magnesium.<br />

Sweet potatoes are one of the oldest vegetables known to man and originated in Central America. Sweet potato relics from 10,000 years ago have been found in Peruvian caves proving their consumption since prehistoric times. Christopher Columbus brought them to Europe and they eventually made it to many places around the world by the 16th century. Around that time, the southern United States began growing sweet potatoes where it still remains a staple today.<br />
<a href="http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/wp-content/uploads/UserFiles/Image/cooking/good/nutrition/fvdb/labels/sweetpotato.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/wp-content/uploads/UserFiles/Image/cooking/good/nutrition/fvdb/labels/sweetpotato.gif" width="215" /></a><br />
Sweet potatoes are a significant source of vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as manganese and potassium. They are rich in antioxidants which help to lower the potential health risks posed by heavy metals and free oxygen radicals. Anti-inflammartory nutrients like those found in its color related pigments reduce inflammation in brain tissue and nerve tissue. Surprisingly, sweet potatoes actually improve blood sugar regulation because they do not convert to simple sugars in our digestives tracts like most starchy root vegetables do. It is no wonder why man has been enjoying this nutritional vegetable for so long!<br />

<a href="http://www.ecobuzzla.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/strawberries11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://www.ecobuzzla.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/strawberries11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Strawberries have grown for millennia around the world but were not largely cultivated until the early 18th century. A French engineer was in Chile and Peru and discovered their native strawberry, being much bigger then the ones seen in Europe. He brought them back to France and were eventually naturally crossbred with a North American variety growing in a nearby field. This produced large, sweet, and juicy berries. Strawberries became more popular in the mid 19th century when railways were built providing for faster transportation of the perishable fruit.<br />

Strawberries have a unique mix of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits providing health advantages in cardiovascular support, improved regulation of blood sugar, and cancer prevention. The vitamin C and manganese content (strawberries being one of the fruits with the best sources of both) protect our heart and blood vessels. Regular intake of strawberries, 2 to 3 servings per week, helps decrease the risk of Type 2 diabetes working to reduce blood sugar spikes from table sugar. Lack of antioxidant nutrients is often a cause of cancer, so it is no wonder that strawberries can help lower cancer risk. Other areas of research for strawberry benefits includes anti-aging, decreased inflammation in the digestive tract, and help with inflammation-related arthritis and inflammation-related diseases of the eye.<br />

Bell peppers have been grown for more than 9,000 years starting in South and Central America. The original name for this vegetable in Spanish was pimiento. European colonizers gave it the name pepper when they came across it in the 1500's and 1600's and took it back to Europe. Bell peppers can be grown in a variety of climates and are therefore found in many cuisines.<br />

Bell peppers have a remarkable amount of vitamin C (almost double the necessary daily value), vitamin A, and folate. There has been a lot of research on the amazing phytonutrient antioxidants in bell peppers like flavonoids, carotenoids, and hydroxycinnamic acids, but not a lot on risk reduction for diseases. It is expected to see bell peppers aiding in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, eye health, and even cancer. Be sure to keep bell peppers in your diet and keep an eye out for potential health benefits!<br />

Onions are native to Asia and the Middle East and have been grown for thousands of years. They were popular in Egypt, being used as currency and as gifts placed in tombs, including King Tutankhamen's. Poor people throughout the world often used the inexpensive vegetable to add flavor to a meal, thanks to its pungency. Christopher Columbus is credited for bringing onions to the West Indies and their cultivation spread throughout the Western Hemisphere.<br />

Onions are high in vitamin C and fiber and are low in calories. Onions can do a lot to help your body including bone support, especially for post-menopausal women, connective tissue and anti-inflammatory benefits, and protection against cancer. Moderate onion intake (3 to 5 servings per week) has proven to reduce the risk of colorectal, ovarian, and laryngeal cancer. Onion is not as well researched in humans as it is in animals, but animal studies have also shown that onions decrease blood sugar levels and prevents blood platelet clotting and bacterial infections. Moderate to daily intake of onions is necessary for all healthy results along with a balanced diet.<br />

<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Cantaloupes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Cantaloupes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cantaloupe is the most popular melon variety in the U.S. today and has been enjoyed by many civilizations throughout history. The exact origin of the fruit is unknown, though thought to be from either India, Africa, or ancient Persia. They were brought to America during colonial times but did not become widely grown and sold until the late 19th century. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/wp-content/uploads/UserFiles/Image/cooking/good/nutrition/fvdb/labels/cantaloupe.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/wp-content/uploads/UserFiles/Image/cooking/good/nutrition/fvdb/labels/cantaloupe.gif" width="175" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cantaloupes have loads of vitamin A because of the concentrated amount of beta-carotene. Additional nutritional benefits include vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Research promotes cantaloupe as preventing loss of vision in adults and helps counteract the vitamin A deficiency associated with smoking.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To get the most antioxidants out of a cantaloupe, be sure to choose a fully ripened one. Because melons are picked before they are fully ripened, you can leave the melon out at room temperature for a few days allowing it to soften and become juicier. Be sure to store the ripe melon in the refrigerator and especially after it has been cut because salmonella contamination becomes more prevalent.</span><br />

It began being cultivated in the United States in the early 1800's and grew in great popularity beginning 1929 with the debut of fictional character Popeye. Still today, many Americans associate the green, leafy vegetable with Popeye.<br />

Spinach is rich in vitamins and nutrients including Vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron. Researchers have found that spinach has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents, particularly in the digestive tract, slowing down division of stomach cancer cells. The vegetable has shown evidence of protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer. Spinach also helps decrease the risk of blood vessel-related problems like high blood pressure and builds strong bones. The great amount of vitamin K in spinach helps prevent excessive production of osteoclasts, cells that brake down bones. Although you will not immediately become as strong as Popeye did, your health will be maintained with the consumption of spinach.<br />

Both soluble and insoluble fiber is found in apples helping to prevent cholesterol build up and regulate bowel movements. Much of the vitamin C is just underneath the skin, so make sure you think twice about peeling an apple. Research suggests that apples can help prevent certain types of cancer and help with heart disease and weight loss.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<h3><b>Ingredients</b><br />
</h3><br />
<ul><li>4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 pounds)</li>
<li>1/3 cup dried cranberries</li>
<li>1/3 cup packed light brown sugar</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon</li>
<li>1 pinch ground nutmeg</li>
<li>1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water</li>
<li>6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed</li>
<li>3 tablespoons canola oil</li>
<li>4 ladyfinger cookies, crushed, divided</li>
<li>Cooking spray</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">In a large nonstick pan cook the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat stirring occasionally until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the juices in the pan thicken. Set aside to cool.</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Lay a sheet of phyllo onto a large cutting board and brush the dough with oil. Top with a second sheet and brush with oil. Sprinkle half the crushed cookies on top. Add another sheet of phyllo and brush with oil. Cut the phyllo into 4 long pieces. Put a small mound of the apple mixture about 1-inch from the bottom of 1 section and fold the phyllo over the mixture into a triangle-shaped pocket. Continue to fold to maintain the triangle shape so a turnover is formed. Repeat with the other 3 sections. Repeat the whole process again with 3 more sheets of phyllo so that you wind up with 8 turnovers. Be sure to reserve a little oil to brush the top of each turnover.</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, place the turnovers on the sheet, brush the tops with the remaining oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm.</div><br />

The vegetable was first introduced to Europe by the Etruscans, who came from what is now known as Turkey, through trade. The Romans took a great liking to broccoli, often cooking the vegetable with wine and spices and serving it with creamy sauces. Those in England and France had little enthusiasm for broccoli, as did Americans. Although the vegetable was brought to America more than 200 years ago, it’s popularity did not spike until the 1920’s. Italian immigrants grew their own broccoli and it began to catch on.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #432d10; font-size: large; line-height: 16px;">Directions:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #432d10; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. Preheat the oven to 375F and put the rack in the middle position. Grease a baking dish with a little oil and set aside. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot and shimmering, stir in the onion and season with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook until the onion's soft but not browned, 4-6 minutes. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />3. Add the garlic, basil, and thyme, stir to combine and sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, 1 minute or so. Toss in the squash and cook 2 minutes.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />4. Pour the vegetables into the baking dish and spread them out into an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until the squash soften. Sprinkle with the parmesan, then bake another 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and browned.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #432d10; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />

If raw broccoli isn’t your thing you can also steam it, boil it, or add it is stir fry. No matter how you eat it you’ll be getting tons of nutrients and health benefits.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: small;">Broccoli can provide you with cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. Raw broccoli still has cholesterol-lowering ability—just not as much. Broccoli also has been shown to have great anti-inflammatory benefits and is loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. Many experts believe this damage is a factor in cancer and many other conditions, so it’s a good idea to get as many as you can in your diet.</span><br />
