June 16
Fresh Veggies Day
Nutritionists agree that when it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, the average person simply doesn't get enough of them in their regular diet. Increasing the daily consumption of vegetables (and fruits) is the point of this day.
Fresh Vegetable Day, celebrated on June 16th, promotes increasing daily vegetable intake for health benefits. Experts recommend consuming at least 400 grams of vegetables and fruits daily. Activities include visiting farmers' markets, growing vegetables in gardens, and preparing healthy meals. The day also supports eco-friendly farming practices and reducing food waste. Additionally, it features workshops on healthy eating and tips for lowering the carbon footprint through local produce.
