What comes to mind when you think of fruits and vegetables? Is it a freezer full of frozen carrots or blueberries? Or is it a fresh bowl of salad and a platter of sliced fruit? Most likely, many people think of the latter.
Check out our latest blog post to understand the nutritional, financial, and environmental impacts of fresh vs frozen produce! 🍉🥦🌽🫐

There are two seasons for carrots — the spring and fall — but they are usually available in supermarkets all year. Today, on International Carrot Day, we celebrate all the different ways carrots can help our bodies work their best! 🥕

Carrots are well known for improving eye health👀, but did you know they have lots of other benefits too? Carrots are rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that are all important parts of a balanced diet.

Studies show that a varied diet rich in vegetables — including carrots — can support natural immune function, brain health, digestive processes, and even cardiovascular health! 🧡

Week 3! Venture beyond the table by eating a variety of foods from all food groups. How about trying new foods and global cuisines?

Our RD and Director of Menus, Amani, cooks authentic Lebanese stuffed vegetables aka Ablama🇱🇧

Try it yourself at home:

Ingredients:
-1 pound lean ground beef
-1/4 cup pine nuts
-1 medium onion
-1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
-7 spices
-Black pepper
-Salt

Toast pine nuts on medium heat for 5 mins. (You can add oil while toasting). Remove and set aside.

Cook the onion until translucent, add meat and cook with 7 spices, black pepper and salt until browned. Add 1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses and the pine nuts and continue cooking for another 5-10 mins on medium heat.

Once meat is ready. Start coring your vegetables!

Core vegetables of choice.
I used 12 small zucchinis, 4 small potatoes and 2 tomatoes.
Fill the vegetables with cooked meat.

To prepare the tomato sauce
Cook tomato core with 1 garlic clove, black pepper and salt. Add 1 cup tomato sauce and 1 cup water. Cover and let it simmer on low heat.

Stir fry zucchinis with 1 Tbsp canola oil in a non-stick pan until browned on each side. (Normally you would deep fry them but i chose to use fry them with 1 Tbsp oil for a lighter version)

Arrange vegetables in a baking dish, cover them with tomato sauce and bake at 400F for 40mins.

Week 1! Do you know where your food comes from?
Look for a local farm near you to meet the folks who grow food and bring something new back to your table!

In San Jose, many of our employees love to visit to grow food for the community!

"This place is special because everything is grown by volunteers and we all get to have a harvest party at the end of the volunteer day! They have different fruits and veggies... some you would never find in the grocery store!"
