SMU Farmers Market Tips and Tidbits

An apple a day just might keep the doctor away!  Studies show that fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants and other phytochemicals that provide a host of health benefits. 

 

Vegetables are naturally high in fiber and other vitamins and minerals (depending on the veggie) and naturally low in cholesterol and sodium, making them heart-healthy.

Different fruits and veggies contain different nutrients that offer different benefits, so it is important to eat a variety of fruits and veggies every day to maximize the impact on your health.
