Tips to eat vegetables with Best Nutritional Value: 1. Select vegetables with more potassium often, such as sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, and kidney beans. 2. Sauces or seasonings can add calories, saturated fat, and sodium to vegetables. Use the Nutrition Facts label to compare the calories and % Daily Value for saturated fat and sodium in plain and seasoned vegetables. 3. Prepare more foods from fresh ingredients to lower sodium intake. Most sodium in the food supply comes from packaged or processed foods. 4. Buy canned vegetables labeled reduced sodium, low sodium, or no salt added. If you want to add a little salt it will likely be less than the amount in the regular canned product.
