Buying Imported Food
UnknownFresh food that is exported to other countries often needs to be frozen or preserved. This compromises the nutritional value and even the freshness of the food. For example, by the time a banana reaches the consumer, it may be days or weeks after the best time to eat it. Instead of purchasing imported goods, stick to local options that are in season. Farmer's markets and local fresh fruit and produce markets are an excellent way to buy food that has been picked just a day or so earlier. Set an alarm for a weekend morning and find the nearest market to experience just how different local food tastes in comparison to its imported counterparts.
