Beets: $2.14 per bunch of four

Why they’re great: Like red cabbage, beets get their brilliant colour from disease-fighting anthocyanins. Beets are also bursting with vitamin C, which boosts immune function and protects against cataracts.

Ways to serve: You can boil or roast them. Olson enjoys cooked, sliced beets with grapefruit segments and grated Parmesan cheese. “It’s so fulfilling because you’ve got sweetness with the beets, acidity and bitterness with the grapefuit, and the salt of the cheese, and the three together are just divine,” she says.

Recipes to try:
Three-Vegetable Mash
Vegetable Chips with Spicy Peanut Dip
