Healthy Eating:

Are you trying to “Strive for 5” vegetables and fruits in a day? Try packing some locally grown fruit for snacks such as an apple or grapes. Grapes were introduced to Americans about 300 years ago by Spanish explorers. Grapes grow on the vine and can be green, red and blue-black. Some have seeds, some do not.
