Nutrition Tip

Winter produce may not be as colorful as summer berries, but there are still many healthy choices available. Incorporate seasonal produce such as pomegranates, cranberries, citrus fruits, purple grapes, and orange root vegetables into your meals. You’ll not only add color to your plate, you’ll get some serious nutrition benefits as well.
