\nJust because it\u2019s winter doesn\u2019t mean you should be taking a break from eating your veggies. Quite the contrary. Cold and flu season is just the time to load up on antioxidant-rich veggies \u2014and there\u2019s plenty of produce in season. Maya\u2019s Farm, an organic sustainable farm at the base of South Mountain, is turning out superfoods galore in green, red and more. Here\u2019s a run down, plus creative ways to whip up the good-for-you grub.<\/p>\n

Oh, and before I forget, December 19th <\/sup>(as in tomorrow) is the last day to enter the contest to win a winter CSA from Maya\u2019s Farm ($300 value). The winner will be selected at random on Thursday December 20, 2012. To claim the prize, you\u2019ll need to fill out and submit a membership form<\/a> to Maya\u2019s Farm by December 28, 2012.

\n<\/strong>And without further adieu, back to winter superfoods…<\/p>\n

Beets
\n<\/b>Why it\u2019s a superfood: Loaded with betalains, phytochemicals that give beets their ruby red hue and help your heart and liver. They\u2019re also high in folate, manganese and potassium, plus the greens add beta-carotene, vitamin C and calcium.

Broccoli
\n<\/b>Why it\u2019s a superfood: High in vitamin C, calcium and fill-you-up fiber, broccoli is a cruciferous veggie that may also protect against cancer.

Micro Arugula
\n<\/b>Why it\u2019s a superfood: Microgreens are small but mighty. Studies show they have higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants than mature leaves. That means a super dose of vitamin A, C and calcium, as well as potassium, magnesium, fiber and folate.

Toscano Kale
\n<\/b>Why it\u2019s a superfood: One cup provides more than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A, and 88 percent of the DV for vitamin C, plus it\u2019s been linked to cancer prevention.
