What's Cooking!
September 2022
During September “What’s Cooking” recipes will highlight the importance of more fruits and vegetables in our daily meals. Remember to visit our Comal County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Facebook page each week for these delicious recipes!
Fruits and Vegetables: More Matters
Why are fruits and veggies important to eat?
· Low in calories—naturally!
· May reduce disease risk, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers.
· Rich in vitamins and minerals that help you feel healthy and energized.
Did you know? The USDA recommends eating 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies per day.
