While including fruits and vegetables is a very important part of a healthy diet, sometimes
-
it can be overwhelming when you’re in a produce section to know what to look for in
-
order to pick the best fruits and vegetables. So we’re going to talk a little bit about
-
how to look for the freshest produce today. When you’re looking for things like leafy
-
greens such as these two items, you want to make sure that you don’t see many brown
-
spots on the lettuce or on the spinach. You really want to make sure it looks very bright,
-
a bright green and its not wilting and it doesn’t have any brown on it. Because those
-
types of foods are going to spoil really quickly. When you’re looking for things like avocados
-
which are very important sources of healthy fats, you want to make sure that the avocados
-
are slightly soft when you squeeze it between your fingers. If it’s too hard, it’s not
-
going to taste good at all and if it’s too soft it’s going to be almost rotting. So
-
again, when you squeeze the avocado you should feel a slight indentation with your fingers
-
as you squeeze it. With things like oranges and tomatoes the same idea as the avocado.
-
If it’s too hard it’s probably not quite ripe yet but you want to make sure that it’s
-
a little bit softer when you squeeze it. For the tomatoes you want to make sure that they
-
are bright red. You can see on the top of this tomato, it’s a little bit yellow so
-
you might want to look for something that’s a little more red than that. You want to avoid
-
seeing some of that yellow and orange on the top of that tomato. With bananas you might
-
be able to notice this pretty easily in the grocery sore but if the bananas’ too green
-
that means its not ripe yet and its not going to taste very good. If it’s too brown it’s
-
overripe so it’s not going to be good either. You want to look for a banana that’s just
-
perfectly yellow, just like this one. Now with bananas you can take them home if they’re
-
not quite ripe. You can take them home and set them out and they will get more yellow
-
as the days to on. But if you want a banana that you’re going to eat that day you want
-
to make sure its bright yellow.
