Useful information
There will be parts where you are free to use your smartphone to check on words. Here are some useful websites that you might want to use:
• www.dict.cc offers words in different contexts and has an audio option for getting the pronunciation right; can be downloaded as an app for using it offline.
• www.leo.org quite similar to dict.cc but without the offline option
• www.linguee.de a German-based online dictionary that presents you words embedded in whole sentences and thus in a specific context. Very helpful for checking on whether a certain combination of words can be used in a particular situation.

Important facts about vegetables
Title 1:
Vegetables, like fruits, are low in calories and fats but contain good amounts of vitamins and
minerals. All the Green-Yellow- Orange vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C,
vitamin-A, and vitamin K. As in fruits, vegetables too are home
for many antioxidants. These health-benefiting compounds firstly; help protect the human body from oxidant stress, diseases, and cancers, and secondly; help the body develop the capacity to fight against these
by boosting immunity. Additionally, vegetables are packed with soluble as well as insoluble dietary fiber known as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) such as cellulose, hemi-cellulose and pectin. Fiber offers protection from conditions like chronic constipation, hemorrhoids and colon cancer.
Title 2:
Eat at least 5-7 servings of fresh vegetables every day. Dietary
guidelines now recommend at least nine servings of vegetable and fruit nutrition per day. Seasonal vegetables should be encouraged. Bring variety in the choice of vegetables in your everyday diet. Yellow and
orange vegetables are rich in Vitamin-A, and ß-carotenes, whereas dark- green vegetables are a good source of minerals and anti-oxidants.

Title 3:
Whenever possible, go for organic farm vegetables to get maximum health benefits. They are not very expensive if you can find them from the nearby local farm owners. Organic vegetables tend to be smaller but have a rich flavour, have some good concentration of vitamins, minerals and are loaded with numerous health benefiting antioxidants. In the
markets, however, always buy small quantities so that they should last within a day or two. There is no point in eating unfit greens! Buy
vegetables that feature freshness, are bright in colour and flavour, and feel heavy in your hands. Look carefully for spots, fungal mould and signs of insecticide spray. Buy whole vegetables instead of sections of
them.
Title 4:
First thing you need to do soon after shopping your choice of vegetables is to wash them thoroughly, especially green leafy
vegetables. Rinse in saltwater for few minutes, and gently swish in cool water until you are satisfied with cleanliness. This way, you ensure them free from dirt, sand and any chemical sprays. Use them early while fresh because, firstly, certain vegetables have very short shelf life and
secondly, the health benefiting properties of a vegetable declines with
time. However, if you need to store them, then place inside plastic
wrappings or in zip pouches in order to preserve their nutrition for short- periods until you use them.
