Take advantage of seasonal produce
It’s time to start looking for the variety of colors in fresh fruits and vegetables in season, and therefore the variety of vitamins that each of them provides us.
With the incorporation of these in the market, you can create strategies to offer your family more attractive dishes at first sight, since the variety of colors in a dish always helps.
We are already in the time of the spring harvest, which is why we get lower prices on fruits such as: strawberries, pears, pineapple, apple, banana; and vegetables such as: cactus leaves, peppers, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, potatoes, cabbage and mushrooms, among others.
Remember that it is very important to plan your weekly menus according to seasonal products, because preparing them will be cheaper; and most importantly, when you use natural products and eat them daily you will get the variety of vitamins that come from them, as well as the fiber that your body needs.
A very important recommendation is to avoid eating canned fruits and vegetables because they lose their nutrients; and in addition, we assure you that if you buy them fresh and have them on hand for the preparation of your food, they will have a more delicious flavor and your family will eat healthier.
An advice with children is to invite your children to participate in the preparation of their food, so that they become familiar with what they eat and as a result they will not reject a fruit or vegetable simply because they don’t know it.
