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!
