Spring Produce to Add to Your Plate
We all know that fruits and vegetables come with many benefits, but eating foods that are in season are not only tastier, but can often be easier to purchase and more affordable. Here are favorite spring produce items that support your health and wellness.
Strawberries
Fresh strawberries are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. They can help support heart health, boost immunity, and add natural sweetness to breakfasts, snacks, or salads.
Asparagus
Asparagus is a spring staple loaded with folate, vitamin K, and fiber. These vitamins support digestion, and bone health. You can easily roast asparagus on its own or add it to your omelet or pasta!
Spinach
Spinach is rich in iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. This leafy green supports energy levels, eye health, and immune function. Incorporate it into salads, soups, or even smoothies.
Radishes
Radishes add a crisp, peppery flavor and are a good source of antioxidants and vitamin C. These nutrients are essential in supporting digestion and hydration.
Peas
Peas are plentiful in the spring and are full of fiber, protein, and important vitamins like vitamin K and folate. Peas support heart health and provide a nutritious boost to soups, rice dishes, or simply on their own.
Eating foods that are seasonal are a great way to rotate your meals while still hitting all of your essential nutrients. You can easily find spring produce at your local farmers market or in your favorite grocery store.
