FEATURED FOODBANK ITEM OF THE MONTH…KIWI FRUIT! Did you know that two kiwi fruit have as much vitamin C as one Navel Orange? Not bad for these fuzzy little brown things, huh? Next time you want to consume your daily dose of Vitamin C and build up your immune system and skin collagen, try kiwifruit. These sweet-tangy fruits taste like a combination of melon and strawberries and are best eaten when ripened. If you want more fiber you can eat the skin on the outside and add 5 grams of fiber to the juicy 4 grams already inside the fruit. Of course, be sure to wash the skin well to remove any dirt and or pesticides. Kiwi Tangerine Salsa This is a perfect dip to eat with whole grain tortilla chips, or enjoy it over fish, chicken or pork. The sweet and spicy combination takes advantage of in-season tangerines and kiwis - making this the perfect late-Winter early-Spring snack! Total prep time: 20 minutes. Makes about 2½ cups. The fresh stuff you need:  3-4 kiwis, peeled and diced  4 small or 2 medium tangerines, peeled and diced  1 cup peeled and diced jicama (hee-ka-ma)  ½ cup diced red bell pepper  ¼ cup chopped cilantro  2 tablespoons lime juice  1 tablespoon vegetable oil  1 small jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, diced  ¼ teaspoon salt What to do with the stuff:

If you are like me, you are counting the days until March 20th….the 1st day of Spring! Spring can mean many things for different people. For me, Spring means more sunshine, warmer weather and lighter meals. A salad full of veggies and protein can be a great “no cook” meal. Let’s free up our time in the kitchen so we can spend more time outside. Happy Spring!

When they come home hungry, have fruits and veggies ready to eat.
