Fruits
and Vegetables
Momma always said to eat your fruits and vegetables. Here's a list of the Dutch
equivalents.
Product selection is really good
here. The Dutch are big fruit and vegetable eaters. You can get
fresh produce at markets, grocery stores, greengrocers as well as at farmer's
stands. The quality is excellent and prices are usually less than the
American counterpart.
A lot of produce is grown in Spain, Israel
and Italy. Surprisingly, you'll find an abundance of produce grown
locally as well. Most grocers will list where the produce comes from.
Organic selections are growing more
everyday. Just look for the word biolische on the packaging.
