Fruits and Green Vegetables

Every day we definitely eat vegetables and also fruit. But have we ever asked, why the fruit and vegetables are so colorful like a rainbow.

There are red, there are green, yellow, there are even purple.

Fruits and vegetables have certain colors which are useful for building the body's immune system in their own ways. The more colored fruits and vegetables we eat, the more intake of phytonutrients that enter your body. Because these phytonutrients, besides giving color to fruit and vegetables, can also protect the body from various diseases.

Then the question arises, how many color categories of fruit and vegetables are divided?

Of all the green fruit and vegetables, it turns out that the contents in them are not always the same. Just like broccoli. The contents contained in the stems and leaves are clearly different. The leaves have higher vitamin A than the stems.

Tips for Selecting And Processing Broccoli Vegetables

Choose broccoli don't be random. Look for broccoli that is dark green and has tough stems. Avoid choosing soft or chewy stems. Because the nutritional content is very poor.

After purchasing, store it in open plastic, without washing it first. Store in the refrigerator.

Broccoli is best consumed 1 or 2 days after purchasing.

The best way to process broccoli is by steaming. Cook it in the microwave or sauté it in water, or stock. Because boiling broccoli has been proven to eliminate 35% of the nutritional value of broccoli.

Did you know, based on data obtained from the United Nations Food Organization or FAO, the largest broccoli producing country is China, with 8,585,0000 tons. Followed by India, with 5,14,500,000 tonnes, and the United States with 1,240,710,000 tonnes.

These red fruits and vegetables apparently contain lycopene as an antioxidant which is good for reducing the risk of cancer, and is also good for heart health.

The specialty of watermelon is that it doesn't make you fat and there is no cholesterol content in the fruit. Watermelon will not interfere with the program of people who are on a diet.

Watermelon also contains 92% water, and 8% sugar content.

That's why when you lift a watermelon it feels heavy, because of the water content in it.

All parts of watermelon are edible. Not only the flesh, all parts of the watermelon can be eaten including the skin. One of them can be processed as stir-fried watermelon rind. Like stir fry in general, only the main ingredient is watermelon rind.

Use the white part of the skin only, the green part because the texture is hard.

Greetings always compact.
