It is important to obtain the fruits and vegetables which are highest in nutrient value and then to retain that value prior to consumption of that food. To make sure you are getting the most nutritious foods possible, follow our easy shopping rules whenever possible:
- Buy produce as close to ripe as you can
- Shop at local farmers markets
- Purchase organically grown items
- Most fruits give off a ripening gas to help ripen other like fruits in close proximity. Capitalize on this by putting unripe fruits in a brown paper bag and placing in the sun
