Learn to recognize good quality in
fresh foods. Before picking up a
"bargain" in fresh vegetables or fruits, check their condition
carefully. Make sure that they are not dried out. Do not buy spotted or
bruised fresh products because they will spoil soon after purchase or
they already lost some of their proper food value.
Try to buy fresh produce in season. That way you will get the best
deal. Seasonal food is usually lover in price, more plentiful and
better flavored.
