Try Something New : Fruit!
In the grocery store, do you habitually reach for the same items, week after week? Try something new!
Look for these less well-known fruits in the produce department:
* Kumquat: a member of the citrus family that looks like a small, olive-shaped orange. A kumquat is eaten with the peel on, either uncooked or cooked.
* Longan: a small, round, cherry-sized fruit with a thick, nonedible brown shell. Inside, the white, juicy fruit, which surrounds a large black seed, is fragrant and sweet.
* Blood orange: a tart, yet sweet orange with flesh that is either bright red or white with red streaks.
* Starfruit: has a unique shape that resembles stars when sliced. The flavor varies from sweet to tart. It can be eaten alone, in salads or as a garnish.
Break old habits, start new traditions -- and still reach your goal of two cups of fruit each day.
