May 25, 2022 | In Season Produce

As the weather starts to warm up it is a good idea to eat light. The veggies in season can help you with that. There is plenty of arugula, cabbage, carrots, lettuce and onions. Daniel’s Farmer’s Market usually has all these available too, so neighbors in need have access to healthy food security.

Learn more about each vegetable:
Arugula is rich in calcium, which helps the blood to clot normally and promote bone growth.
Cabbage contains powerful antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which promotes good vision and is important for growth.
Lettuce is rich in vitamin A which helps to maintain night vision and eye health.
Onions are packed with antioxidants which may help reduce the risk of several types of cancers.
