Eating vegetables, especially the green, leafy kind, is the quickest way to ensure that your body is receiving the necessary vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Cranberry Country Market—a supermarket and delicatessen in Tomah, WI—always has a nice selection of fresh vegetables from local growers and vendors to help people in Monroe County get their adequate serving of greens each day. They also stock special seasonal items so customers can get a unique selection of vegetables each season.

If you are trying to add more healthy choices to your daily food servings, here are three different ways to include fresh vegetables into your diet:

  • Use Veggie Toppers: When making a meat or fish dish, instead of adding a sauce to increase the flavor, try sautéed vegetables, like onions, peppers, and squash, to pack a flavorful and healthy punch. They also give you more nutrients and increase your portion sizes without adding too many additional calories.
  • fresh-vegetables-tomah-wiReplace Grains With Vegetables: Many dishes call for grain ingredients such as rice or pasta. While delicious, these items are loaded with calories. However, in many recipes, you can easily replace those grains with vegetables. Cauliflower and butternut squash are excellent rice substitutes, and zucchini, carrots, and sweet potatoes are successful replacements for pasta. 
  • Use Lettuce In Place of Bread: A sandwich might seem a little odd without bread, but when you are trying to cut calories and increase your vegetable intake, an excellent way to do it is by using lettuce leaves instead of bread. Nearly any type of deli meat works great with lettuce wraps, and lettuce is practically calorie-free.
