The time of year when leaves begin to change color, the air gets a crisp feeling and the type of fruits and vegetables available in the market has arrived. With fall comes so much new and exciting produce…so it’s time to get tasting, cooking, exploring and picking. Here at Spoons, one of our favorite fall activities is taking a trip to a local Greenmarket to pick some fresh, locally grown apples.
Did you know that apples are a healthy source of antioxidants, which help to keep our bodies strong and healthy by protecting us against free radical damage? We learned that fact from The U.S. Apple Association (http://www.usapples.org). That’s just one of the many reasons why the Spoons Team will be loading up on apples this fall season.
Find your closest Greenmarket to get all sorts of fresh, local tasty produce by checking out the Greenmarket 2009 Map by following this link: http://www.cenyc.org/files/gmkt/map.pdf. For readers able to make it to an apple orchard this season...Happy Picking from The Spoons Team!
