KNOW YOUR VEGGIES

HOW TO SELECT THE FRESHEST

The September issue of Shop-Smart, from the publisher of Consumer Reports, has tips on finding the freshest produce:

Fruit should have a sweet aroma, and vegetables should smell fresh with no foul odors.

The freshest, ripest produce has a slight spring to it.

To make sure veggies such as green beans, asparagus, celery and zucchini will be crisp and fresh, bend them. Anything that's even slightly soft and pliable is past its prime.

The litmus test: Does it taste good? Ask for a sample.

FINAL WORD

"On the one hand, you have the pain of humiliation. But on the other, you have the delicious guava nectar of laughter. You have to balance it out."

Jack Black, on filming "Tropic Thunder," in Entertainment Weekly
