Kidco Kitchen Fun Fact:The›word›“broccoli”›means›“branch”›or›“arm”,›coming›from›its›resemblance›to›trees.›Broccoli›is›best›consumed›raw,›as›cooking›the›vegetable›significantly›diminishes›some›of›its›antioxidants.›The›best›way›to›cook›broccoli›to›preserve›all›its›nutrients›is›to›steam›it›for›5›minutes.

Chef Lisa’s Tip:My›family›loves›broccoli›and›I›always›use›every›part›of›this›wonderful›veggie.›If›you›only›need›broccoli›florets›for›a›dish,›do›not›throw›out›the›stems.›Peel›them,›blanch›them›for›two›minutes,›and›freeze›them›for›up›to›3›months.›They›can›be›used›later›in›soup,›sauces›and›stews.

Kidco Kitchen Fun Fact:Carrots,›turnips,›yams,›beets,›garlic,›onions,›parsnips,›rutabaga›and›sweet›potatoes›are›all›root›vegetables›grown›underground›and›have›roots›or›tubers.›Because›root›veggies›grow›underground,›they›absorb›a›great›amount›of›nutrients›from›the›soil.›They›are›packed›with›a›high›concentration›of›antioxidants,›vitamins›C,›B,›A,›and›iron,›helping›to›cleanse›your›system.›

Chef Lisa’s Tip:Root›vegetables›are›best›stored›in›a›cool,›dark,›humid›room›like›a›pantry.›When›storing›them›in›the›refrigerator,›keep›root›veggies›in›a›paper›or›plastic›bag›in›the›crisper.›Storing›them›uncovered›causes›them›to›soften›and›go›bad›quickly.
