February is heart month and there is no better reason to highlight the many ways our fruits and veggies fuel and maintain a healthy heart. Versatile veggies and fruit can be added to a variety of dishes or savored on their own to enhance a heart-healthy diet with fiber and essential nutrients. Make a habit of enjoying them with every meal and snack.

How do fruits and veggies enhance heart health? The answer is simple:

The International Produce Group celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022. Headquartered in Salinas, CA, over the past 20 years it has developed into a major fruit, vegetable and dairy exporter with a strong dedicated customer base worldwide. Over the last 18 months, to serve the growing needs of its customer base, it has vastly grown its procurement and sales power with the addition of offices in Chile, Peru and most recently Mexico.

As the Produce for Better Health Foundation’s award-winning Have A Plant Movement continues to grow, so too does its network of committed influencer volunteers. The PBH Have A Plant Ambassadors are a unique network of experts who regularly contribute content to PBH’s digital ecosystem and span three distinct points of influence: point-of-sale (retail); point-of-flavor (culinary & foodservice) and point-of-inspiration (lifestyle, nutrition & agriculture).

In advance of Easter and Mother’s Day, Side Delights is providing potato pairings and secondary display suggestions to help increase spring holiday grocery sales.

The Save Mart Cos. expanded its partnership with Starship Technologies, a leading provider of autonomous delivery services, for the launch of an on-demand grocery delivery service at its Lucky California flagship store in Pleasanton, CA.

From birthdays and holidays to sporting events and vacations, Americans gather with family and friends to mark special occasions — most of which involve food. However, despite creating lasting memories, most of these celebrations end up being far less positive from a nutrition standpoint.
