Fruit is one of nature's easiest healthy snacks. Choosing fruit that's in season brings extra flavor, better value and plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
The benefits of seasonal fruit
- Better taste because it's picked at its peak.
- More nutrients when it's eaten soon after harvest.
- Better value when it's plentiful.
- More variety as your fruit bowl changes through the year.
Enjoy fruit every day
Keep a fruit bowl on the table, add berries or sliced fruit to breakfast, pack an orange or apple for work and enjoy fruit as a naturally sweet dessert.
Whole fruit gives you fiber that juice leaves behind, so choose the whole fruit more often.
Store it well
Keep citrus and apples cool, let stone fruit ripen at room temperature and freeze extra berries for smoothies.
