Short on time? Modern day conveniences make it easier to prepare and eat fruit and vegetables. Precut produce is sold at most grocery stores and many restaurants now offer vegetable dishes - dine in or take to go. If you're worried produce will go bad before you use it, shop the salad bar and only get what you need or pick up fresh produce everyday from the R&R Produce market located on the first floor at 2 Peachtree.
Check out the What's For Dinner recipe section for more healthy and tasty ways to incorporate fruit and veggies everyday.
