Fruits and vegetables always taste better when they are in season and harvested at the peak of freshness. Eating seasonal means not only eating fresh foods that are packed with nutrients but also savings in the family budget.

      Absolutely. Fruits are healthy. But keep it to 1 to max 2 portions of (any) fruit daily.

    I love this January seasonal produce section. I'm a big fan of grapefruit and I was able to get a great smoothie recipe. By the way was so good and my new favorite smoothie. I can't wait to try more of the recipes this January. Thank you
