Want fewer tears when cutting onions?

Try:
• Cutting under running water
• Leaving the root end intact
• Chilling onions 30 min
• Using a food processor
• Wearing onion goggles (yes, really!)

A bit of effort = big flavor with fewer tears!

Why do onions make you cry?

When you cut them, enzymes react with sulfur compounds to create a gas called syn-Propanethial-S-oxide. When it hits your eyes, your tear glands kick in to flush it out—cue the burning + tears. Different onions release different amounts, so some sting more than others!

“9 months postpartum and has been really nourishing for me. I feel good and enjoy the increased variety in my diet while having quality of life foods.” - Monique

Sounds yummy!

Great tip!

3 facts about vitamin C!

• ~43% of Americans don’t get enough.
• It doesn’t prevent colds, but can shorten how long they last.
• Higher levels are linked to lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes + stress-related disorders.

Top sources: citrus, berries, red peppers, broccoli + leafy greens.

Sounds delish!

True for many fruits and vegetables!

Not a Brussels sprouts fan? Try pairing them with astringent foods like lemon juice, vinaigrette, pomegranates, or cranberries to reduce bitterness. Or serve with a favorite dip or sauce. Blanch first, choose fresh + smaller sprouts, and experiment—some Brussels is better than none!

Amazing! Many of the nutrients are concentrated in the peel so if you like them that way, that's a great option.

Dec 4 is National Cookie Day! 🍪

Store-bought is tasty, but homemade lets you boost nutrient density. Try higher-nutrient swaps like buckwheat or cassava flour, and sweeteners like molasses or maple syrup. What’s your favorite kind of cookie?

Mandarin oranges hold a special place at Christmas for me—I remember getting them as a holiday treat when I was little. 🍊 And they’re nutrient-dense too! A serving (~2½ small mandarins) delivers vitamin C, polyphenols + carotenoids. Orange-you glad it’s a holiday tradition?

Dec 3 is National Apple Pie Day!

Apples with skin have a Nutrivore Score of 213 and deliver polyphenols, biotin + fiber—and they’re the biggest polyphenol source in the American diet. Just how much depends on variety so enjoy them all—no bad apples here!.

Beets are beautiful—but messy!

To avoid ending up “red-handed,” keep 1–2 inches of stems on and cook beets with skins on to minimize pigment leakage. After cooking, rinse under cool water and the skins slip right off—no peeler needed!

Stop dieting for good!
