How to choose or find produce
Produce usually refers to farm fresh foods like fruits and vegetables, which can be sold at farmers’ markets, farm stands, grocery stores, and restaurants. Produce can include organic foods, veggies, fresh cut herbs, seasonal fruits and vegetables, all natural products, California raisins, and gourmet baskets of fresh fruit. Usually you can find a pretty good local variety of produce supply in your grocery stores, from apples and oranges, to blueberries and strawberries, to carrots and lettuce. It’s up to you whether you want to buy organic. Organic foods, while reportedly healthier for you, are often more expensive than their traditional counterparts. Healthy foods such as organic produce and foods rich in antioxidants are thought to help detoxify the body, helping overweight or unhealthy people lose weight, feel better and improve body, mind, organs, skin care, and muscles. When you want fruits and vegetables, you either visit your local farm stand or grocery store. Farm stands typically grow their own produce, such as corn, watermelon, blueberries, or eggplant. Grocery stores order bulk supplies of produce from distributors and wholesalers at a bulk discount cost. The distributor then provides shipping and handling of the products on a regular basis. Go online to find out how stores can deliver produce to your home for a small fee, how produce fits into the food industry, wholesale costs, and produce variety available in each season. Consider which type of produce you want and target your search accordingly. For example, if you want organic or all natural foods, visit an organic foods market. If you want fresh veggies and herbs, visit your local farm stand or farmers’ market.

When shopping for fresh produce, there are a number of tricks to use that can help you select the finest and freshest fruits and vegetables. With modern farming, processing and delivery, many stores are able to put produce out for sale within a day or two after it is picked. You can ask your store's produce manager for delivery days so you can get to your favorite fresh produce before quality declines. Fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers may be fresher and tastier than those shipped long distances from larger farms. Once again, ask your grocery store's produce manager if any is in stock. One of the most effective ways of finding great-tasting produce is to buy in season, when possible.
