National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month

National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month is observed throughout June and encourages people to enjoy more fresh produce. The month celebrates the variety, flavor, and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, while inviting everyone to try different kinds and find new ways to include them in meals.

The United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association created the observance in 1991 to promote fruit and vegetable consumption and raise awareness of their health benefits, according to an overview of the month’s origins. June is a fitting time to explore fresh, seasonal produce, whether in salads, smoothies, or cooked dishes.

How to Observe National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month

Celebrate by adding an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable to a meal, preparing a colorful salad, or blending fresh produce into a smoothie. Try a new recipe or cooking technique, and invite friends or family to share a produce-filled meal. Wash fruits and vegetables before eating them, and use safe food-handling practices when preparing them.
