Giant kicks off produce-focused virtual nutrition classes in July
Giant’s team of dietitians are ready to offer simple tips and tricks, as well as easy and affordable meal inspiration to make the most of summer produce with free virtual classes throughout July.
“Seasonal produce is picked right at the peak of ripeness, locking in that good nutrition and fresh flavor,” said Kilene Knitter, a dietitian with Giant. “When we eat seasonally, it’s also more affordable and supports our local communities, too.”
Here’s a peek of the produce-focused virtual classes being offered by Giant's dietitians this July:
- Don’t spend those warm summer evenings creating even more heat in the kitchen! Learn how simple and delicious it can be to make no-cook meals, like spicy shrimp ceviche and BLT with lemon basil mayo using affordable products and seasonal produce every Monday at 12 p.m. with Meal Solution Monday’s classes.
