🥕🌽🍅 Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day! 🍅🌽🥕
Fresh vegetables are an important part of a healthy lifestyle and a great way to fuel your body with vitamins, nutrients and energy.
Summer is the perfect season to enjoy locally grown produce from farmers’ markets, roadside stands, backyard gardens and community farms. From crisp greens to colorful vegetables fresh from the field, healthy eating can also be delicious.
The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend adults consume several servings of vegetables each day as part of a balanced diet.
Celebrate today by adding more fresh vegetables to your meals and supporting local growers in your community.
