Seafood Chefs Say Pears Sweeten The Deal
(NAPSA) - It's no fish tale that Americans should eat more fruits and vegetables. Adding fruit to a main dish can be a great place to start. Have fun, try unique combinations and get creative as you help your family meet its nutritional needs.
Seafood chefs have done just that with the following easy-to-prepare recipe that is made with nutritious fresh fish, traditional Latin seasonings and juicy, ripe pears.
The pears add a boost of fiber and vitamin C to the meal and, at just 100 calories per serving, they're also a low-cal way to include more potassium in your diet. And since they're bursting with sweetness, adding pears is a smart way to serve fish to even the most finicky of eaters.
