May Produce Guide

Gone are the days of winter citrus and other chilly-season produce, and on to the days of fresh greens and tropical fruits.

Try your hand at combining these fresh-as-can-be produce items in your weekday meals.

Pineapple

True-to-fruit-form, dried, or juiced, pineapples are a great source for magnesium and potassium. According to a variety of research, pineapple contributes to fantastic hair and increased energy.

Mango

Mangoes are a great fruit to add to nearly any fish-based dish. The acidity brings out the buttery goodness inside. Mangoes also decrease obesity and heart disease. It's a #winwin. Check out our mango sticky rice recipe.
