Butternut Squash

The quintessential fall vegetable, butternut squash is rich in vitamin A, which helps maintain vision and eye health, antioxidant vitamin C, and heart-healthy minerals potassium and magnesium.

Amaranth

Amaranth is a complete protein that contains all essential amino acids, making it a great plant-based protein option. It's also an excellent source of the minerals iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Parsley

Commonly used in Mediterranean cooking, parsley is a leafy green herb with a fresh, mildly peppery taste.

Chia Seed

Small but mighty, chia seeds are a nutrient powerhouse, delivering omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, protein, iron, B vitamins and 35% the daily needs for fiber per ounce.
