Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in antioxidants, a great source of Vitamin C, Potassium, Folate, Dietary Fiber and Magnesium. While strawberries (like all berries) pack a nutrient-dense punch, they are scrumptious enough on their own that we don’t need too much convincing for us to dive right in. Local to Virginia? For fresh, locally sourced produce, stock up on in-season berries from our neighbors at AgriBerry in Richmond.
Spinach
We’d be hard-pressed to pack any more goodness into a leafy green; spinach is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Spinach is high in fiber, low in calories, provides support for bones and muscles, and has been known to positively impact cholesterol.
Roasted Virginia Peanuts
As fourth-generation peanut farmers, we’ve been growing the highly-coveted Virginia peanuts for over a century. With over 30 essential nutrients, 8 grams of powerful plant protein per serving, and a healthy dose of resveratrol, Virginia peanuts are a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with protein and healthy fats, they’re the perfect food to keep you energized throughout the day.
