Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is rich in complex carbohydrates and low in saturated fat and sodium. It is a very good source of vitamins A and C and a good source of beta-carotene, magnesium, manganese, calcium and potassium. It is fresh, cheap and plentiful October to February.

Butter Beans

Butter beans contain a variety of slow burning complex carbohydrates. They are especially high in manganese and iron. When combined with brown rice they deliver a high quality of protein, fat free, in addition to high levels of soluble fibre.
