Produce for Healthy Living

Which are the best cheeses for a charcuterie board?

Hard cheeses like asiago and gouda hold up well in charcuterie arrangements, as do firm cheeses like cheddar and gruyere. Semi-soft cheese slices of muenster and Havarti may start sticking to each other. You can prevent slices sticking together by arranging the slices alternately with harder cheese slices. A soft cheese like brie, goat cheese, or mascarpone is a nice contrast to the firmer cheeses.

What flavors work well for fruit-infused water?

Choose fruits, herbs, and spices that have strong flavors to produce the most noticeable taste when making fruit-infused water. Fruits like lemons, limes, and cranberries have strong flavors. Experiment with springs of sage, lavender, lemon balm, mint, or rosemary. Use potent spices like ginger, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon to create interesting flavor profiles.

What produce is best for juicing?

High-yield veggies for juicing include cucumber, zucchini, celery, beet, carrot, sweet potato, Swiss chard, and tomato. For more juice from fruits, choose any type of citrus, melon, or apple. Pears and pineapple are high-yield fruits, too.
