Shopping Tips

  *   Berries are in season during the summer<https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fsnaped.fns.usda.gov%2Fresources%2Fnutrition-education-materials%2Fseasonal-produce-guide%2Fsummer/1/01010190c711dab0-0189ec3b-5268-4d89-9ab6-23c6691e83b8-000000/TvlawC-0IPMHEqAFaarrbRBTCKosVIqcTfIW8VTQmbk=362>. Buying produce "in season" often costs less and the produce will be at peak flavor.
  *   Frozen fruits last much longer than fresh. Store frozen berries in your freezer to enjoy them year-round.
  *   To cut down on added sugars, check the ingredients list. Look for frozen berries that do not have sugar listed in the ingredients.
  *   Buy fresh berries when they are in season and offered at a lower cost and freeze the extra to use at a later date.
