Summary Vegetables in raw or cooked form add color, flavor, and texture to meals as well as enhance a meal’s overall nutritional value. MyPlate suggests teens eat 2.5-4 cups per day from the vegetable group.
Composition of Vegetables Fresh, unprocessed vegetables are naturally low in calories, cholesterol, sodium, and fat. Vegetables are a very good source of carbohydrates (especially fiber), vitamins, and minerals. Vegetables rich in fiber include: kidney beans, lentils, corn, parsnip, potato, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, green beans, spinach, and sweet potato.
Purchasing Vegetables Season, ripeness, freshness, yield, and freedom from bruising or mold are considered when selecting vegetables. Avoid wilted and misshapen vegetables. Choose vegetables that are medium in size (small vegetables may be immature, large vegetables my be overmatture and tough).

Preparing and Storing Vegetables

Preparation:
Because heat affects the vegetable’s texture, flavor, color, and nutrient retention, limiting cooking time helps preserve both flavor and appearance. Heating vegetables in as little water as possible with the lid on is generally recommended, with a few exceptions, to retain flavor and nutrients. Vegetables may be prepared by either dry heat (baking or frying) or moist heat (simmering, steaming, or microwaving) cooking methods.
Storing Vegetables:
Vegetables continue to respire after harvest, which contributes to the deterioration of their appearance, texture, flavor and vitamin content. Refrigeration slows this process for most vegetables, except for tubers, dried legumes, and most bulbs, which lend themselves to dry storage. Controlled atmosphere storage is a commercial process that extends vegetable shelf-life by reducing oxygen and increasing the carbon dioxide in the surrounding air.

Second Story Headline
Place your stories in order of their importance. For example, your most important story should be at the top of the page. Less important stories, or stories that may appeal to a smaller portion of your audience should be lower down on the page.
Use paragraphs often. A wall of white text makes it hard for the reader to skim a story and find a way to quickly drop in and out of your content. White space gives the user an opening into your information. Don’t be afraid to leave spaces open.
You might also designate a consistent spot on the page for lighter, or more editorial content. That way the reader always knows where to look for a certain type of content.
Most successful publications include a mix of content types to satisfy a wide range of tastes. Consider putting your most serious content on the front page, and your lighter content inside.
It’s called a story for a reason
Integrate frequent headlines to announce different sections of your story. Consider writing your content in a personal tone, in the same way you might talk to someone sitting across from you at a restaurant.
Include paragraph breaks often

Sidebar Story Headline

Sidebars complement a main article. Use them when you want to keep your main articles direct and information packed, but you still want to share extra or supplementary content.
For example, if your main story is about your new building plans, consider using the sidebar to talk about the history of the land plot, or to tell a story of your first encounter with the property.

Another Story Headline
Your headline is an important part of the newsletter and should be considered carefully.
In a few words, it should accurately represent the contents of the story and draw readers into the story. Develop the headline before you write the story. This way, the headline will help you keep the story focused. Examples of possible headlines include Selling Your Home and New Office Opens Near You.
If you have to break a headline into two rows, try to find a natural break in the content. Each line should stand alone so that your readers can easily understand what is in the story even while skimming.
Newspaper editors consider headline writing like poetry. How can you get the reader’s attention and draw them into the story in only a few words?
Meanwhile, you don’t want to give too much away, or the reader doesn’t even have to read the story to understand the content.
