“Heavy, starchy foods keep us warm – and stuffed – through winter. But now spring is arriving, and with it a wave of light and healthy produce hitting grocery stores and farmers’ markets in prime season. We asked Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy, for a selection of nutritious foods that will be at their peak flavor in the coming weeks.

RADISHES
When you start to see radishes at the farmers’ market,
“to me that’s a sign of spring.” Madison says.
A single radish can have 124% of the recommended daily vitamin C – even more if you eat the raw tops too.
EAT IT: Go raw, says Madison. Just slice the radish, chop the tops and toss with good olive oil and lemon juice.
