It’s Spring Time In The Valley and That Means FRESH PRODUCE!

It’s Spring Time In The Valley and That Means FRESH PRODUCE!

It’s May and finally sunny in the Hudson Valley! That means our plethora of fresh, local produce is available to us and farmers markets all over will be in full swing.

Fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting good health. Increasing the quantity of produce in your diet is the easiest way to boost your nutrition. These super-foods are calorie sparse, vitamin dense, superior sources of anti-oxidants and packed with essential nutrients. Produce does much more than just contribute healthy nutrients, essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, they also help protect you from chronic diseases and they help you heal.  In fact, fresh fruits and veggies boast multiple healing effects, from fighting cancer to reducing cholesterol, guarding against heart disease, aiding in weight loss, preventing allergies and so much more.

There are hundreds of extremely nutritious and tasty options to choose from! So no matter what your preference is, there is always some fruits and veggies that are waiting to tickle your taste buds. Eat these super-healing picks and start feeling pretty super yourself.

Fruit and Veggie 101

Money Saving Tips

1- Create a weekly meal plan that uses the same fruits and vegetables, but prepared in different ways. 

2- Buy fruits and vegetables in season and at farmers’ markets or at your local grocery store.

3- Minimize waste, buying only the amounts you will eat.

4- Be creative! Enjoy your fruits and vegetables in different ways. Try baking apples or poaching pears with some cinnamon. Homemade soup is a healthy and tasty way to use vegetables. Smoothies and salsas are also a great use of produce.

5- Cut your fruits and vegetables at home. Pre-cut produce costs more than whole fruits and vegetables.

6- Pick your own at local farms. Late summer and early fall is a great time to pick your own. This is a fun and inexpensive way to buy in bulk.

7- To make fresh fruits and vegetables last longer, wash and dry after purchasing, then store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
