Lite News: Vegetables & Summer Gardening It's a wonderful time of year here in Minnesota and the garden is prolific with vegetables. Green beans are especially prolific. And of course in no time we will be giving away zucchinis. We try our best to pick them before they become big enough to use as a defensive weapon. In the garden, there are growing a variety of vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, basil, onions, carrots, rhubarb, cucumbers, and watermelons. Each vegetable has its own unique nutrients to promote health. All of them are good for pH balance. At times a vegetable has its day in the "health news" and its "five minutes of fame." And those of us who like and eat that vegetable are encouraged and say to ourselves, "Hmm carrots I didn't know they had so many health benefits. I should really be eating a lot of carrots. "And then there are those that say to themselves, "Hmm I really don't like carrots, but I suppose I should start eating them because they're so healthy." And with some vegetables no matter what amazing health benefits are touted we just won't eat them. I'm not going to start eating radishes even if I learn that they are the fountain of youth.Below is a list of vegetables. Are there some you haven't tried yet? Be adventurous try a new vegetable.
