Daily Health Tips

Daily Health Tips update for February 17:

Trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, but stuck in rut of carrot sticks and steamed broccoli? Over the next several days, we’ll provide some tips on how to expand your vegetable repertoire.

If you like the taste of cauliflower, then give rutabaga a try. It’s the purplish white root vegetable with 4 grams of fiber in a one-cup serving. More fiber in your diet translates to better digestive and heart health.  

Rutabaga has a slightly peppery taste and is delicious when roasted with olive oil. Or try it mashed: peel and cube two pounds of rutabaga, then boil or steam for 10 minutes or until tender. Mash and add 1/3 cup of low-fat milk, 2 tablespoons of sage, 1 tablespoon of grainy mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
