Even though I eat a huge variety of fruits and veggies already, I’m constantly amazed by the vast amount of different types of produce I have yet to try.

As a lower carb eater, fruits and veggies make up the majority of my food intake. So, one of my goals for the summer is to try a new fruit or veg every week.

Yesterday my husband and I went to T&T in Vancouver and as usual were overwhelmed by the astounding selection of produce. We bought a few items we have never tasted before:

1) Korean melon - yellow and white striped and about the size of a Nerf football.

2) Jicama - kinda looks like a turnip. Supposed to taste like a green apple and is good grated or in matchstix for a refreshing salad. I was able to find several recipes in my collection, most calling for a citrusy vinaigrette.

I’m eager to start experimenting and will let you know how it all turns out!
