500 Low-fat Fruit and Vegetable Recipes

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but the government's minimum daily requirement of five to nine servings may actually help prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and obesity. Schlesinger shows the home cook how to prepare both familiar and exotic produce in exciting new ways.
