Add these seasonal varieties to your cart and your go-to recipes for a flavor and nutrition boost. Recent research has also found that eating fruits and vegetables may promote emotional well-being as well as predict improvements in mood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"art\"><span>Pears<\/span><br \/>\nPears are an excellent source of fiber and a good source of vitamin C. Enjoy them on their own or add them to salads, slaws, pork, chicken or baking recipes. To choose a ripe pear, &#8220;check the neck for ripeness&#x2122;&#8221; by applying gentle pressure to the stem end. When it yields to the pressure, it&#8217;s ready to eat. Refrigerate ripe pears.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Oranges<\/span><br \/>\nFull of vitamin C, fiber and potassium, oranges are in peak season in the winter months, providing a boost of powerful antioxidants when we need it most! Get your citrus fix by taking oranges as an on-the-go snack, tossing slices into salads, or using their zesty juices to liven up proteins, salads, beverages or desserts.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Squash<\/span><br \/>\nFrom butternut to acorn and spaghetti, winter squash varieties are versatile and rich in beta-carotene, vitamins B6 and C, fiber and potassium. Some squash is mild while others are sweet, offering endless possibilities for incorporating into meals like casseroles, soups, risotto, lasagna and desserts.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Kale <\/span><br \/>\nDeep green, leafy kale is a nutrient powerhouse as an excellent source of vitamins A and C and a good source of calcium and potassium. It has an earthy, peppery flavor that pairs well with bold-tasting ingredients. Try massaging kale with olive oil, lemon juice and salt, or add it to pizza, soups or stews.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripe Now: Seasonal Produce Spotlight Jan 2020 Planning to eat more fruits and veggies in the New Year?
