#DidYouKnow? "Get big nutritional bang for your buck with potatoes, greens and beans. They deliver the most nutrients per penny. Trying to figure out how to squeeze more nutritious food from your budget? Add potatoes, greens and beans. A cost analysis found that these foods provide the most nutrients per penny and that tubers offer the best nutritional value in the produce aisle. Potatoes are a valuable source of potassium, vitamin C, magnesium and fiber, especially when eaten, after cooling, with the skin. They cost just 11 cents per one-cup serving and are filling to boot. Greens are simply a nutrition powerhouse. Canned or dried beans are an inexpensive and healthful alternative to meat, which is often among the priciest items at the supermarket. “Protein sources like beef, turkey, fish and chicken can be really expensive,” says Amy Jamieson-Petonic, MEd, RD, director of wellness coaching at the Cleveland Clinic, “but if you buy beans and lentils, you’re getting a lot more for your money.” One cup of beans supplies a third of a woman’s daily protein needs."
