Nectarines are nutritious fruits with lots of fiber, potassium, vitamin B3, vitamin C, and copper and small amounts of vitamin A, lutein, zeaxanthin, manganese, zinc, iron, magnesium, and phosphorous.

- Ricotta is a whey cheese that is extremely easy to make at home. All you need is milk and lemon juice or vinegar. Ricotta is very mild and fresh, with a soft and slightly grainy texture. It’s perfect for pasta dishes like stuffed shells and lasagna but also suites a myriad of other dishes. Ricotta is a good source of protein and calcium. It’s also high in vitamin A, vitamin B12, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. (More on the health benefits).
