nearing 2 ft.

Fish called sole, flounder, turbot, dab and halibut all belong to

the same unique family of flatfish. These fish all have oval

shaped bodies, dark on top, light on bottom and odd-looking

eyes on the same (top) side of their heads. They are bottom

dwellers, propelling themselves with a wave like motion along

the sandy bottom of the sea.

Of all the soles, grey sole is the smallest fillet with the most

delicate flavor. As with all members of this family, Grey sole is

very lean and easily prepared. Like sardines, salmon and black

cod, grey sole contains a high level of omega-3s and selenium.

defects and colon cancer.

When choosing beets, look for small or medium-sized beets

with firm, smooth-skinned and deep in color roots. Signs

indicating spoiled beets include spots, bruises or soft, wet

areas. Remember do not wash beets before storing. Place in a

plastic bag and wrap the bag tightly around the beets,

squeezing out as much of the air from the bag as possible, and

place in refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

A great recipe to try out some beets is this one for Spinach

Salad with Grated Apples and Beets. Fantastically tasty,

sweet, and good for you too!
