$\"Healthy$ <\/p>\n

2020 has changed many things for Oklahoma City individuals including an increased focus on healthy eating<\/a>. Many consumers have discovered a connection between what they eat, how they feel, and their unique health needs, but unfortunately, many individuals still do not consume enough fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in demand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to 2017, the last time we checked in to see what the top fruits and vegetables were, the top 11 fruits and vegetables purchased in 2019, in descending order are: potatoes, bananas, apples, tomatoes, onions, strawberries, grapes, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, and oranges.<\/p>\n

Each one of these offers specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can benefit a different part of the Oklahoma City consumer\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Fruit<\/p>\n

\n
\n
bananas: source of potassium; help lower blood pressure<\/li>\n
apples: source of flavonoids, an antioxidant; lower risk of developing diabetes and asthma<\/li>\n
strawberries: great source of antioxidants; help decrease inflammation and hardened arteries<\/li>\n
grapes: \u00a0source of resveratrol, an antioxidant; help prevent heart disease and may reduce the spread of breast, stomach, and colon cancer cells<\/li>\n
oranges: source of folate, a vitamin for pregnant women, and hesperidin, a phytochemical that can lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Vegetables<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
potatoes: source of soluble and insoluble fiber, vitamin C, and B-complex; help lower plasma LDL cholesterol keep blood sugar stable<\/li>\n
tomatoes: source of antioxidants, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins; protect against cancers and ultra-violet (UV) rays; protects eyes from “age-related macular related macular disease” (ARMD)<\/li>\n
onions: source of chromium, quercetin (an antioxidant), vitamin C, and B-complex; help control diabetes, offer anti-inflammatory properties, and help with brain health<\/li>\n
carrots: source of carotenes, vitamin A, vitamin C, B-complex, copper, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants; help protect against skin, lung, and oral cavity cancers, maintain eye health, and help maintain healthy connective tissue, teeth, and gums<\/li>\n

$\"Healthy$ <\/p>\n
Organic or Conventional?<\/strong><\/p>\n
According to the USDA\u2019s ChooseMyPlate program, most adults should consume between 2 – 3 cups of vegetables and 1.5 – 2 cups of fruit per day. To understand which fruits and vegetables an individual should add to their diet, it is important for them to learn more about their potential choices, both organic and conventional.<\/p>\n
Recent research from The Packer’s 2019 Fresh Trends<\/a> survey found that the overall demand for fresh fruits and vegetables is up compared to the previous year (2018). Survey participants also indicated a preference for Fair Trade (59 percent) and locally grown produce (55 percent). Organic produce sales in 2019 increased by almost 5 percent over 2019 and represented 15 percent of the entire fruit and vegetable market in the U.S.<\/p>\n
The growth in sales for organic produce didn\u2019t plateau after 2019. Sales of organic produce during the spring of 2020 jumped dramatically after the onset of the pandemic. According to Laura Batcha, CEO and Executive Director of the Organic Trade Association, \u201cThe pandemic has only increased our desire for clean, healthy food. Our normal lives have been brought to a screeching halt by the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n
To maintain a healthy diet especially right now, it is important for everyone to have access to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables especially during the workday. Oklahoma City employers can help by offering healthy snacks and beverages<\/a> at the office that are made from fruits and vegetables. Whether your break room<\/a> menu could use a few more healthy options or needs to be redesigned, Hayes 405 Refreshments<\/a> can help. For more information, please contact us at 405-495-8667.<\/p>\n
