Shopping for Ingredients

Shopping for Ingredients
As you learn to eat healthier, remember these tips for choosing foods wisely:


LEAN MEATS AND POULTRY:  Purchase lean meats and poultry, and trim them of all visible fat before cooking.  When poultry is cooked with the skin on, we recommend removing the skin before eating.  Nutritional information for recipes that include meat, poultry, and fish is based on cooked, skinless boneless portions (unless otherwise stated), with the fat trimmed.



SEAFOOD: Whenever possible, my recipes call for seafood that is sustainable and deemed the most healthful for human consumption so that your choice of seafood is not only good for the oceans but also good for you.  For more information about the best seafood choices and to download a pocket guide, go to environmentaldefensefund.org or montereybayaquarium.org.  


PRODUCE: For best flavor, maximum nutrient content, and the lowest prices, buy fresh local produce, such as vegetables, leafy greens, and fruits, in season.  Rinse them thoroughly before using, and keep a supply of cut-up vegetables and fruits in your refrigerator for convenient healthy snacks.


WHOLE GRAINS:  Explore your market for whole grain products such as whole wheat and whole grain breads and pastas, brown rice, bulgar, barley, cornmeal, whole wheat couscous, oats, and quinoa to enjoy with your meals.
