Key Points:

  • Get creative with seasonal produce-experiment with new recipes; try new flavors.
  • Sample fresh produce and goods at the source if you're not familiar with them.
  • Tasty fruits are a healthy alternative to high-cal snacks.
  • Talk to the growers about how the produce was grown-fertilizers/pesticides used, etc.
