ANNOUNCER:
CURRENTLY THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ADULT CONSUMES APPROXIMATELY ONE CUP OF VEGETABLES PER DAY,THAT’S FAR LESS THAN THE RECOMMENDED TWO AND A HALF SERVINGS PER DAY. HOWEVER, IN ADDITION TO BEING HEALTHY, THE NUTRIENTS IN CERTAIN VEGETABLES MAY EVEN HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF SOME CHRONIC DISEASES. SHIRLEY DOLLAND, MANAGER OF THE BETTY CROCKER KITCHEN SAYS, WORKING MORE VEGETABLES IN TO YOUR DAILY DIET CAN BE DONE, IT JUST REQUIRES A LITTLE EFFORT.
SHIRLEY DOLLAND, MANAGER, BETTY CROCKER KITCHENS:
“First, keep a variety of convenient family-friendly veggies on hand. Keep baby carrots within reach for a quick snack. Stock up on frozen vegetables like green beans, sweet corn and peas. Studies show that frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh because freezing locks in important vitamins and stops nutrient loss that can occur in fresh vegetables over time.”
