Be Bold with Broccoli

Vegetables like broccoli offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C and folate. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.

Did You Know...

A traditional paella flavoring (and expensive spice), saffron is the hand-picked stigma from a tiny purple crocus flower. It takes more than 14,000 of these little threads to produce one ounce of saffron!

Substitution

Turmeric does the trick as a saffron substitute because it's moderately priced and generally available in most supermarkets. Both spices are pungent, aromatic and used to add flavor and color to foods.
