CAPSICUMS

Capsicums are so versatile, you can do so much with them; from roasting and grilling to stir-frying and stuffi ng. Did you know there is no difference between a red, green, orange or yellow capsicum? They start off green, turn yellow, then orange, and fi nally get a red skin – it’s simply the fruit ripening at different stages.

BOK CHOY

Bok choy is a member of the cabbage family and has lots of Vitamin C. It’s milder in fl avour than other cabbages, which allows it to be combined with any food. Bok choy’s nutritious green leaves are ideal for soups, salads and stir fries, but it can also stand on its own. GRAPES

We like to think of grapes as little bites of sunshine. They’re nutritious, sweet as candy, and have been essential to the good life since the dawn of civilisation. These sweet gems are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps balance fl uids in your body. Most people don’t get enough of this nutrient, so eating grapes can help fi ll the gap. APPLES

Apples are among the most popular fruits worldwide. With a sweet, tangy fl avour and crisp bite, apples have been enjoyed as a refreshing snack for centuries. But there’s more to eating an apple than just satisfying your taste buds; they’re loaded with benefi cial nutrients that can boost overall health. Eating them is linked to a lower risk of several diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. These powerful little fruits have also been shown to promote weight loss, improve gut health, and boost brain function.

PLUMS

Sweet, plump and full of nutrients, plums are among one of the most nutrient-rich fruits you can fi nd. Like many other fruits, they are low in calories but high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They even offer several health benefi ts, including improved blood sugar control and heart health. MUSHROOMS

Enjoy a unique taste experience with mushrooms. They come in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colours. Not only do they burst with fl avour, but they’re also healthy and happen to be an excellent source of lean protein. Plus, mushrooms are a great way to add extra fl avour without sodium or fat.
