]]> As May comes to an end, the produce lists are growing as summer approaches. Stone fruits are on the May produce list and will continue on the June and July lists as well. So, what is a stone fruit? A stone fruit is any fruit that has a pit or stone in the center of the fruit. This stone is not the seed of the fruit, rather the seeds are located in the stone. Some examples of stone fruits are in the chart. Stone fruits are rich in phytonutrients which help with anti-aging and protecting your health.  The following link gives some more health benefits of stone fruits and some ways you can eat these fruits.

An important rule about fruit is that it is best eaten alone on an empty stomach or paired with greens and non-starchy vegetables. It does not go well with starches and proteins. It will ferment the meal (and not in a good way) causing digestive issues. If fruit on an empty stomach causes you nausea, burping, upset stomach or bloating then that means your body has an underlying issue that prevents your body from breaking

down the fruit sugar.

Fruit turns to sugar and you should stick to eating fruit before lunch time and stay with “low glycemic” fruits
