Spring is here! In the next few weeks and months, more farmers markets will reopen, and those that were open all winter will begin to have a larger variety of foods as spring fruits and vegetables come into season.
Farmers markets present a great opportunity to expose your children to fruits and vegetables that they have never seen before - and they are naturally gluten-free. It's a great time to talk about how fruits and vegetables are grown, whats seasons they grown in, and to learn more about the farms that grow our foods.
In the later spring and summer, try taking your kids to a local farm or orchard to pick fruits. Kids are more likely to try new foods when they are involved in the purchasing or preparation so take your kids to help you pick out a new fruit or veggie to try for dinner. Remember, we want a variety of fruits and vegetables in your child's diet to ensure optimal nutrition!
