Once you’ve got your fresh produce home, be sure you’re storing and washing it correctly so it stays fresh. Check out this post for tips on how to store fresh fruits and vegetables, and this post for tips on how to wash fresh fruits and vegetables.
Don’t forget, if you can’t find something fresh or in season, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables have the same great nutrition and taste as the fresh varieties. Shop for fresh produce when you can find it, but don’t be afraid to use canned and frozen fruits and vegetables to help you family get all the fruits and vegetables they need for a well-rounded diet.
It’s strange that something as basic as this is so very much needed. I’ve printed this out and have it next to my frig as a reminder to buy organic and in season (at least until I get my garden going next year). Thanks for sharing
Glad I could help!
