Vegetables are a vital part of our diet, providing essential nutrients and vitamins that our bodies need to function properly. In Texas, July is a great month to get fresh vegetables like tomatoes, corn, and squash.
Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C and lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or used in sauces and salads. Sweet corn is a popular summertime treat. It's also a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C. Eat it on its own, or add it to other dishes like salads or salsas. Summer squash are low in calories and a good source of vitamins A and C. They can be eaten raw or cooked. Try them grilled, roasted, or in a soup or stir-fry.
So plan your next market run and stock up on these delicious and nutritious vegetables!
