Be food safe
Wash hands, utensils and surfaces before and after preparing food.
Rinse fresh fruit thoroughly under cool running water. Rinse even if the skins of the fruit will not be eaten.
Avoid buying fresh fruits that have scrapes or bruises. Any breaks in the skin of the fruit allow bacteria to get inside.
Eating Healthy On A Budget
Any fruits can be used, but be sure to include oranges and bananas, which are good sources of folate. Folate helps form a healthy spine and brain in a developing baby.
When buying canned fruit, choose fruit packed in water or 100 percent fruit juice instead of light or heavy syrup, which adds sugar and extra calories.
Fresh or frozen fruit without added sugars can be purchased using WIC cash value vouchers (CVV).
Buy fresh fruits in season when are usually cheaper and taste better.
Try store brands of yogurt, which are usually cheaper and taste the same as name brands.
Fruit salad also makes a healthy dessert for any meal.
