It’ll get you hopping with health like that Bunny!
Is food costing more than it used to feed your family? The price of food is rising! At Harvest Home, we looked for ways you can save a few dollars, stay healthy, and not give up on taste. Try cutting back on how much meat you use in a dish. Replace meat with tofu or beans.
What makes getting through March to April Spring a bit tricky? The weather: Rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next, spring sun trying to chase away winter gloom. You never know!
If you are looking for better taste (and nutrition), try frozen fruits and veggies. Why? Because they are allowed to fully ripen in sunny fields where they are grown. Then they are picked and the same day, frozen to keep their fresh taste and nutrition.
It’s Pumpkin time. Our Harvest Home markets has dozens of sizes and shapes. Some are just for carving; some are delicious in muffins, bread, or pancakes. Pumpkin adds flavor to smoothies, soups or makes a mouth-watering meal (see recipes). It’s nutritiously rich, high in fiber and low in calories. Its nutrients are good for your eyes and skin and can help improve your blood pressure.
Tomatoes, bright red, succulent and dripping with juicy taste you can only get from the farmer’s market. Want tomatoes that are locally grow, ripened on the vine, and picked the day before you get them? Visit a Harvest Home market before it’s too late. From now until mid- October, you can feast on tomatoes that taste like tomatoes.
Surprise, mixing various colorful fruits and veggies does not only make meals look like a rainbow but each color has a unique nutrient. The more color in your food, the healthier. Eating healthy just got easier, more interesting, and delicious. Our Harvest Home Farmers’ Markets are bursting with rainbows of color.
