In March I created the first “produce buying guide” for finding the best fruits and vegetables in season during the month.  Everyone seemed to like it, so I figured I would make another one for April!

Keep this infographic handy throughout the month of April to buy your favorite produce while it is in season.  I like to print it out and keep it near my grocery list for meal planning and shopping.   You can also “pin it” to your Pinterest account boards or share with your friends via Facebook and Twitter.
