Fresh fruits and vegetables are often less expensive, however,especially when they are in season. In addition, local farmersmarkets and produce stands are often great sources of thefreshest, most delicious fruits and vegetables at some excellentprices.

How vegetables and fruits are prepared is just as important ashow they are chosen. It is important to rinse fresh fruit andvegetables thoroughly under clean running water. This step isimportant in order to remove any dirt, pesticide residue orbacterial contamination. The outermost leaves of lettuce andcabbage should be removed, and the outside of root vegetableslike carrots and potatoes should be removed, especially if youplan to consume the skins of those vegetables. Vegetables andfruits should be washed right before they are used in order tokeep them as fresh as possible.

The best ways to cook vegetables in order to maintain theirfreshness are to boil, microwave or steam the veggies until theyare tender and crisp. It is best to use as little water aspossible when cooking vegetables. That is because overcookingcan destroy some of the valuable vitamins and minerals thevegetables contain.
