1. It's better knowing where your #FRUITS & #VEGETABLES come from.
~Some of The Grocery Store #FRUITS & #VEGETABLES are coming all the way from Mexico. Just think of the travel time & I'm pretty sure that they don't have the same regulations as the U.S. even though the U.S. are buying the products & then distributing them in the U.S.
2. More often than NOT @ a Farmer's Market EVERYTHING is picked freshly from "The Earth" that week.
3. Canned or the bagged #fruits & #vegetables have added preservatives for a longer shelf life in The Grocery Store.
~Due to preservatives the TASTE IS VERY POOR COMPARED TO having FRESHLY PICKED.
~Preservatives are NOT so HEALTHY. Most of the time ANYTHING added to something to make it last longer on a shelf for days/weeks/months @ a time IS JUST WRONG.. I mean think about it HOW LONG CAN FRESH FRUIT SIT UP IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR ON YOUR SHELF @ HOME BEFORE IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE #COMPOST BIN.
MY 1ST EXPERIENCE B/W A FRESH PINEAPPLE & A CAN OF SLICED PINEAPPLE:
The DIFFERENCE was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING:
It was like I had NEVER had a PINEAPPLE In My Life.
From then on I was hooked to fruit; any fruit; any fresh fruit I could get MY HANDS on.
TRUST ME.
EXPLORE THIS OPTION. NOT ONLY IS IT HEALTHIER FOR YOU, BUT WE MUST REMEMBER THIS IS OUR LOCAL FARMERS LIVELY HOOD. WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM ON TRYING TO MAKE THE WORLD HEALTHIER.
I READ A MEME ONCE THAT SAID WE SHOULD PUT SOME THESE DOCTORS OUT OF BUSINESS BY SUPPORTING/SHOPPING LOCAL FARMERS.
THERE'S A SLIGHT PRICE DIFFERENCE BUT THERE'S HUGE HEALTH DIFFERENCE.
NEVER BEEN TO A FARMERS MARKET; A LITTLE INTIMIDATED BY THE IDEA. GOOGLE FARMERS MARKET OR FRESH MARKETS IN YOUR AREA. SHOW UP; EVEN IF YOU DON'T BUY THE FIRST TIME; LOOK AROUND. SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER; CHECK OUT THE PRICES; MAKE CONVERSATION. IT'S ACTUALLY A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY; THEY'RE SELLING & THEY WANT YOU TO BUY. SO 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THERE'S SAMPLES THERE & THERE FRIENDLY AS HELL. EVEN TOWARDS THE END OF THE SELLING DAY YOU MAY EVEN CATCH SOME DEALS B/C THEY HONESTLY WANT TO GO HOME EMPTY HANDED & A FAT CASH BAG!
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX OF WHERE & HOW YOUR SHOPPING FOR YOUR FOOD! MAKE A HEALTH CHANGE! A LIFE CHANGE!
SHOP LOCAL.
