Gardening tips as well as information relating to cookery. <br /> <br /> ===Buying vegetables:===<br /> All vegetables should be firm to the touch, not limp. When you can try to buy vegetables with the stem or green part attached.<br /> <br /> ===Organic:===<br /> Try to buy organic [[bell peppers]], [[celery]], [[spinach]], [[lettuce]] and [[potatoes]] as when non-organically grown these have the highest percentage of pesticide residues. <br /> ===Non-organic:===<br /> If you are on a budget, buy non-organic [[onions]], [[sweet corn]], [[asparagus]], [[peas]], [[cabbage]] and [[broccoli]] as these are low in pesticides, even when grown conventionally.<br /> ===Storage:===<br /> Most vegetables store well in a [[refrigerator]]. Some vegetables such as [[broccoli]], root vegetables such as [[carrots]] and [[parsnips]] benefit from storing by standing in water as this seems to prevent them from going limp.<br /> ===Grow your own:===<br /> If you have the opportunity then grow your own vegetables. Choose varieties that are hard to obtain from conventional stores such as exotic [[squashes]] or the wonderful sungold [[tomato]].<br /> == How much does one cup of frozen vegetables weigh? ==<br /> &#039;&#039;Estimated [[Generic_conversion_table#Volume|US cup]] to weight equivalents:&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;wikitable-responsive&quot;&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top;&quot;<br /> !style=&quot;min-width: 20%;&quot;|&#039;&#039;&#039;Ingredient&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> !style=&quot;min-width: 40%;&quot;|&#039;&#039;&#039;US Cups&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> !style=&quot;min-width: 40%;&quot;|&#039;&#039;&#039;Grams&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> !style=&quot;min-width: 40%;&quot;|&#039;&#039;&#039;Ounces&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top; text-align: center;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #f8f2d7;&quot;<br /> |Mixed Frozen Vegetables||1 Cup||150 g||&amp;gt; 5 oz<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Conversion notes:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Every [[ingredient]] has a cups to ounces or grams conversion table.
