Autumn and Winter vegetables, by Libshop. Vegetables will be a valuable source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all protective micronutrients that your body needs to face winter! Be careful to distinguish fibrous 100% vegetables from “energy” vegetables such as squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, cassava, parsnips or yams, which contain starch, a source of carbohydrates which will give energy to your body. These will be more beneficial if they are cooked in the oven, steamed or in water, and possibly cooled, particularly with regard to potatoes, so as to lower their glycemic index. This is also how most Mediterranean populations consumed them in the past. Like, share and mention those who might be motivated to eat more vegetables!
