“Because produce is nutrient dense, meaning vitamin and mineral content is high when compared with total calories, it should be the cornerstone of our diet. While no one food can deliver every essential nutrient, every fruit and vegetable featured in this book packs a powerful punch when it comes to vitamins, minerals, and fiber.”
