Vegetables

                          ----------



    * Fresh vegetables are most nutritious.  Cut up ahead of time

    and refrigerate in sealed plastic bags or airtight

    containers.  Legumes (peas, beans, etc.) and other dark green

    and orange vegetables are preferred.



    * Thawed, frozen mixed vegetables (takes minutes to thaw when

    added to warm water).



    * Canned vegetables are least nutritious of all choices.
