PSA – 75 words (Cruciferous Vegetables)
Going Green- with your veggies!
Know you should eat your broccoli, but can’t get over the image of
overcooked, limp greens? Cruciferous vegetables pack a punch when it comes to
nutrition. For best flavor and nutrition, focus on eating them raw or steamed and
pairing them with a delightful sauce or seasoning to improve the pungent flavor of
the brassica family.
