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
