Know Your Seasons
Understanding when fruits and vegetables are in season is the first step to smart shopping. Seasonal produce is fresher, tastier, and often more affordable. Before you head to the market, check what’s currently growing locally to get the best picks.
Inspect for Freshness
Look closely at the produce before buying. Choose items that are firm, vibrant in color, and free from bruises or blemishes. Avoid fruits and vegetables that feel soft, have dark spots, or look wilted, as these are signs of aging or poor handling.
