Spring into Fruit and Vegetable Promotion

Spring Into Nutrition: Fresh Fruits & Vegetables for a Healthier Season

Spring is a season of renewal — longer days, brighter colors, and fresh flavors returning to the table. It’s also the perfect time to spotlight fruits and vegetables in your nutrition education programs. Seasonal produce not only tastes better, it often costs less and delivers peak nutrients that support energy, immunity, and overall wellness.

For educators, spring provides a natural opportunity to reconnect students, patients, and families with real food.

Why Focus on Fruits and Vegetables?

Fruits and vegetables are rich in:

• Fiber for digestive and heart health

• Potassium to support healthy blood pressure

• Vitamin C for immune support

• Folate for cell health

• Antioxidants that help reduce inflammation

Most Americans still fall short of recommended intakes, especially for vegetables. Spring is a motivating time to reset habits and build momentum.
