Answer 2

Carrots;They have more carotene than any fruit or vegetable. (Carotene is what the body converts to vitamin A). And carrots are an excellent source of vitamins B, C, D, E and K, as well as calcium pectate. Calcium pectate is an extraordinary pectin fiber that has cholesterol-lowering properties. They are cheap. Make carrot salad ,

4 carrots, shredded
1 apple - peeled, cored and shredded
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
salt and pepper to taste

Apples are low cost as well. But they are high in natural sugar. They are a high souce of vit A and C.

Celery;Celery is a great guilt-free snack item, especially if you want to lose weight.Celery is a wonderful low-calorie and low-fat vegetable, consisting of about 95% water. When looking at its nutrients, celery contains adequate amounts of potassium, folate and fiber. One cup of diced celery provides 344.4 milligrams of potassium, 34 micrograms of folate, 2 grams of fiber, 19 calories, and less than 0.16 grams of fat!

can't think of anything else sorry.. hope this helped.. fresh food is pricey.

Answer 4

vegetable, fruits, nuts, and legumes.

The best is all raw, but very very very hard to do. I have tried a little while, but it is tough - absolutely health, but not very enticing.

I would mix it up a bit - 50/50 raw and cooked.
