For Coordinators
Encourage your audience to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
high in Vitamin C to honor the discovery. Oranges, kiwi, broccoli,
or bell peppers are excellent choices to get 100% or more of the
daily-recommended amount of Vitamin C.

Advertise the health benefits of gardening. Not only is gardening
a form of physical activity, but a garden can produce a supply
of fresh vegetables to help reach your fruit and vegetable goal.

Some people do not think of garlic as a vegetable. Educate your
audience that garlic is a veggie packed with the phytochemical
allicin. Garlic adds flavor and is also fat and cholesterol free
and very low in calories (one clove has only 3 calories!)

Dried fruit, such as raisins, are an easy snack idea to help reach
your fruit and vegetable goal. Advocate for home-dried fruits
or low/no sugar added options to lower the calories per serving.
