Marda Heuman, RD, LDN, a registered dietitian/nutritionist, will give tours of the farmers’ market this Saturday at 9:00 and 10:00 am for shoppers who would like to know more about sustainable farms and the health benefits of eating foods that are locally grown and sold.
For instance, did you know that pasture raised animals are naturally leaner than conventionally raised animals and contain a higher percentage of the “good” vs. “bad” fat? Or that local produce is more nutritious because it is picked at peak nutrient value, rather than produce picked before ripening to allow shipping time?
These issues and more will be raised during the tour. Marda has interviewed our food vendors and knows their products and practices. With 15 years experience working with folks wishing to improve their health through the foods they eat, Marda is in private practice in the Cary/Apex area .
