How to buy produce for your summer tastebuds. This can be rather tricky especially if you are in a hurry, so here are some tips to help you shop a little smarter and quicker this summer.
Cantalope a.k.a. Muskmelon: look for light color gold color between the webbing of the rind. Also choose one that is heavy for it's size.
Pinapple: for a whole pinapple (not cut) look for bright green leaves on top.
Watermelon: for a whole watermelon you want it heavy for it's size. Look for a yellow spot on the melon, this is where the melon rested on the ground and it indicates that it was ripe when it was picked.
Corn on the Cob: look for plump kernels and eat the day you purchase.
Green Beans: look for bright color and crispness.
Tomatoes: you want deep color and smooth skin. Beware of stores that try to make their tomotoes look rip.
Zucchini: pick small ones that are firm all over.
