The Zest

Hacks to Help You Eat More Veggies


Listen Later

Congratulations. You saw the title of this episode. You know it’s all about how to eat more vegetables. And you’re still here! We promise, it’s worth it. 

Today we'll hear from two experts from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, better known as UF/IFAS. IFAS has county extension offices across the state, and they’re a great resource for growing and cooking healthy foods. Carol Leffler and Anne Yasalonis share meal-prep tips and even gardening hacks to help you eat—and actually enjoy—more vegetables. We’ll also talk about how to get kids on board with eating veggies and how to never throw away another bag of soggy salad greens.

For details on the hacks discussed in this episode, check out these conversations:
