I love the affordable prices at Farmers Markets on fresh, local fruits and veggies. It’s also fun to find unusual items that I’ve never tried before, but look tasty or interesting. On this shopping trip, the Swiss Chard looked really fresh so I purchased a bunch for the first time. I don’t even know how to prepare Swiss Chard yet, but after reading about its health benefits I’m going to give it a try.
