Fruits & Vegetables: Important Considerations
Four Reasons to choose produce that is in-season, organic & local:
1. Better control over the quality of what we put into our bodies, reducing our intake of preservatives, additives, genetically modified crops, and other toxic contaminants.
2. Supports our communities.
3. An environmentally green decision, cuts down on unnecessary packaging, transportation costs & excessive fuel consumption.
4. Eating what’s available seasonally is much in tune with Mother Nature.
