I love to bring home yellow-orange vegetables this time of year: pumpkin, butternut squash, and yellow and orange peppers, to name a few. Although they are not root vegetables, their color gives them many of the same phytochemical benefits of beta-carotene and bioflavonoids. They are known for:

• Boosting your immune system

• Improving your vision health

•  Reducing the risk of cancer and heart attacks

So add these nutrient-rich, energizing, immune-boosting, cancer-fighting, root and colorful vegetables to your Fall table!
