If you don't have Balsamic Vinegar, for each tablespoon needed, use 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or red wine vinegar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Oats- A good source of complex carbohydrates, oats are loaded with soluble fiber that can lower cholesterol and help control blood sugar. Soy- According to the FDA adding 25 grams of soy protein each day to a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Pumpkin- More beta is better! Vibrant orange veggies like pumpkin contain high levels of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, giving you an antioxidant boost. Turnips- To maintain their natural sweetness, do not overcook. Buy small turnips no larger than 3 inches in diameter, that are firm, smooth and heavy for their size. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to 1 week. Tomatoes- Purchase those with smooth skins and no bruising. Do not refrigerate. Keep at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
