💡 Pro Tips

Tips for Buying Fresh Produce

👃

Use Your Senses

Ripe produce should smell like what it is — a ripe tomato should smell like a tomato. Don't be shy about picking up and smelling produce before you buy. Farmers expect it.

🗣️

Ask What's Best Today

Farmers know what peaked this morning. Rather than arriving with a rigid shopping list, ask what's at its best right now — then plan meals around that.

🧊

Keep It Cool

Florida heat wilts produce fast. Bring a cooler with ice packs for the drive home, especially for leafy greens, herbs, and berries. Your lettuce will thank you.

🥭

Embrace Tropical Fruit

South Florida grows fruit you won't find at most grocery stores — mamey, guanabana, dragon fruit, carambola, lychee. Try something new every market visit.

💧

Don't Pre-Wash

Wash produce right before you use it, not when you get home. Moisture speeds up spoilage. Store leafy greens wrapped in paper towels inside a bag in the crisper drawer.

🌱

Grow Your Own

Even a balcony or patio can yield herbs, peppers, and cherry tomatoes. See our Gardening Guide for tips on starting a home garden in South Florida.
