Fill Up on Fruits and Veggies
Did you know that fruits and vegetables are recognized with their own month? September is "Fruits and Vegetables More Matters" Month. Since this is a great time of year for harvesting fruits and vegetables, why not add more and new foods to your weekly intake.
If you enjoy fruits and vegetables but worry about being able to eat them before they go bad, the More Matters campaign has some helpful ideas for storage.
