  7. Which of the vegetables in this categories provide the most nutrients? • Between the four fruits that I picked (Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, and Squash), the Winter Squash would be the one with more nutrients, like Vitamin A (538re), considering that a Male (9-13 years old) needs 600re, a Male (14-18 years old) needs 900re, a Female (9-13 years old) needs 600re and a Female (14-18 years old) needs 700re, the Squash will stay inside the essential portion of Vitamin A given more than 59% of the daily necessary for all categories. • It is a good source of Sodium too, the essential portion of Sodium for all ages is 1,500mg per day and the Squash gives 384mg of sodium what is inside the necessary limit. • Squash is a good source of Vitamin C (19mg), The essential for a Male (9-13) is 45mg, for a Male (14-18) is 75mg, for a Female (9-13) is 45mg and for a Female (14-18) is 65mg.

  9. How to select your vegetables • Consider the intended use. For example, canned tomatoes may be less expensive, can be kept on hand and take less time to prepare. • Buy in season. Vegetables that are purchased in season usually will give you the best quality and best buy. • Consider the storage available. Buy only what you can store and use within the recommended time. • Handle produce gently. The bruised parts are most likely to spoil. • Choose high-quality vegetables. Poor-quality vegetables usually have lower food value, less flavor and more waste. • Just before going to the grocery store checkout counter, pick up frozen vegetables that are frozen solid and get them to your freezer as quickly as possible. • Buy canned vegetables in cans without any signs of damage. • Dried Vegetables should be in tightly sealed in undamaged packages.

  10. How to store your vegetables • To maintain food value, flavor, color and texture, store them properly. Most fresh vegetables should be kept cold and humid. • To increase storage humidity, keep vegetables in a plastic bag or in the hydrator (crisper) compartment of the refrigerator, or both. • Sort vegetables before storing and remove any with bruises or soft spots. • If you wash vegetables before storing them, drain them well. • Store frozen vegetables at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower; they can be stored for 8 to 12 months. • Store canned vegetables in a cool, dry place and use within a year for top quality. • Store dried vegetables in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Use them within a few months.
