CDC's 'Fruit and Vegetable of the Month' club
Are you looking for ways to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet? Take a minute to check out the CDC's Fruit and Vegetable of the Month. Each month one new fruit and one new vegetable is featured and included nutritional information as well as helpful recipes. For August, the CDC recommended celery, fennel, and cactus, and in September they'll celebrate chili peppers and figs.
Though the CDC appears to have paid some attention to seasonal harvests -- green onions in March and root vegetables in December, for instance -- not much priority seems to have been placed fresh, local fare. If you decide to use CDC as your guide, feel free to substitute with fresh goodies from your local farm market.
