Celebrate National Fruits and Veggies Month with Red Sun Farms!

September is National Fruits and Veggies Month, an ideal time to celebrate the incredible flavors and health benefits of fresh produce. At Red Sun Farms, we’re excited to share some delicious recipes that highlight our fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

Let’s dive into the many health benefits of Tomatoes, Peppers, and Cucumbers.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a nutritional powerhouse. They are rich in antioxidants, particularly lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including heart health. Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, fiber, and vitamin K, making them a fantastic addition to your diet for overall health and wellness.

Cucumbers: Cucumbers are incredibly hydrating, composed of about 96% water. They are low in calories but high in many important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, which is essential for good health. Just a single cup of cucumber slices will get you 14%-19% of the vitamin K you need for the day. Cucumbers also contain antioxidants and are incredibly hydrating.

Bell Peppers: Bell peppers are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C and carotenoids. A single bell pepper can provide over 150% of your daily vitamin C requirement, supporting immune function, skin health, and iron absorption. They also contain vitamin A, which is crucial for eye health.
