Did you know? Fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables all count toward a healthy eating pattern. 🥦

When shopping, check for the following on each type to get the most out of both your food dollar and to max out the nutritional quality:
✔ Fresh: Select produce that is in season for best quality and price point.
✔ Frozen: Choose plain vegetables (steer clear of added sauces to keep sodium content low) and compare prices.
✔ Canned: Check nutrition labels and choose lower-sodium options when possible.

Smart shopping can help stretch your food dollars while adding more vegetables to meals and snacks!
