Hey there, sunshine, how are you doing today?
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.971
I hope you're having a fantastic week that's filled with blessings.
00:01:36.971 --> 00:01:43.965
Jared and I recently had something happen and I just have to share it with you, because Sometimes it's the little things.
00:01:43.965 --> 00:01:46.695
It's that profound knowledge Jared calls it.
00:01:46.736 --> 00:01:47.799
We're little revelations.
00:01:48.302 --> 00:01:52.200
Well, you have those little things happen and it just blows your mind and you think what in the world?
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.745
So we recently had gone to this store.
00:01:54.745 --> 00:01:57.430
Now we didn't go to the farmers market this time.
00:01:57.430 --> 00:01:59.501
Yes, we think the farmers market it's amazing.
00:01:59.501 --> 00:02:15.715
Yes, we think you ought to be shopping there because you're gonna get amazing tasting food, because the odds are it's going to be fresher, especially if you get to know your farmer and you find out that it's somebody who's actually growing it and not just buying produce at the local store and bringing it to the farmers market and making it look pretty in their little baskets.
00:02:15.715 --> 00:02:16.939
Yes, that happens.
00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:18.425
So get to know your farmer.
00:02:18.425 --> 00:02:24.794
But what we're sharing with you is something that just happened from an apple that we bought at a local store.
00:02:24.794 --> 00:02:30.300
So we went I guess it was about last week we went to the store and we picked up a big bag of apples.
00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:33.610
I think you had sent me on a grocery store run that time.
00:02:33.752 --> 00:02:34.574
That sounds right.
00:02:34.574 --> 00:02:36.219
I sent you on a grocery store run.
00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:37.532
So it comes home.
00:02:37.532 --> 00:02:38.379
He has these apples.
00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:45.819
We put all the groceries away and maybe a day or two later I grab out an apple, like I often do, and I love my little apple slicer y'all.
00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:47.388
So I got my apple slicer out.
00:02:47.388 --> 00:02:49.740
I'll put a link for it down below in the show notes for you.
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:52.247
I love this apple slicer because it cores it.
00:02:52.247 --> 00:02:52.747
Okay.
00:02:52.747 --> 00:02:58.331
So I'm totally getting off topic here, but I have to share with you about this because you need these game-changing tips and this is what we're all about.
00:02:58.331 --> 00:03:02.394
So it's sliced it into these little slices that I just love.
00:03:02.394 --> 00:03:11.500
It's not these big fat wedges, it's tiny slices, and so you have more slices of the apple to enjoy with your brownie batter, hummus or your whatever dip you're putting it in.
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:12.998
I mean you just can't go wrong.
00:03:12.998 --> 00:03:16.187
So get yourself an apple slicer, links down for you in the show notes.
00:03:16.187 --> 00:03:16.907
So I get it out.
00:03:16.907 --> 00:03:23.064
Grab my apple slicer, I slice them up, take a bite, and I remember clear as day this is how much it hit me.
00:03:23.064 --> 00:03:25.031
I mean it was just such a huge moment for me.
00:03:25.031 --> 00:03:30.560
The flavor just exploded in my mouth and I looked over and I see them and they're sitting down to watch a show.
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:40.092
So I grabbed an apple for my snack during the time we were watching the show with this dip and I dipped it in and taken a bite and I was on my way over there to walk over to them and I said what in the world?
00:03:40.092 --> 00:03:41.280
And they all look back.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.831
I see all these heads turned back to me and I said where did you get this apple?
00:03:45.831 --> 00:03:47.062
He said I got it at the store.
00:03:47.062 --> 00:03:48.506
I said I don't understand.
00:03:48.506 --> 00:03:51.133
Like have you learned a new method for picking apples?
00:03:51.133 --> 00:03:55.180
Was there something special you did this time to get one that tasted so good?
00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:57.625
What are we doing wrong in the past?
00:03:57.625 --> 00:03:59.949
Why does it not always taste this way?
00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:05.572
Well, and we had gotten it from a store where we don't normally get it because it's a little more expensive.
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:11.118
But this time it was closer to home and I had mentioned and just just we're talking a chain grocery store here.
00:04:11.118 --> 00:04:19.196
Chain grocery store normally where we go to get them, where they're fresher, less expensive, is about 20, 30 minutes away.
00:04:19.196 --> 00:04:23.798
Our local store is five or 10 minutes away, but I mentioned that the price was lower this time.
00:04:23.798 --> 00:04:28.177
I said probably because now they're in season and they're more readily available.
00:04:28.437 --> 00:04:29.660
Okay, Did you catch that?
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:31.704
Yes, and I didn't make that connection.
00:04:31.704 --> 00:04:34.829
I just said they're probably in season because the price was XYZ.
00:04:35.110 --> 00:04:36.255
Yeah, thinking about the price.
00:04:36.255 --> 00:04:40.449
And then she said that's why they taste so good, they're in season.
00:04:40.711 --> 00:04:43.338
They were sweet crispy, not mealy.
00:04:43.338 --> 00:04:43.930
This is.
00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:44.713
Apple season.
00:04:44.713 --> 00:04:46.394
Y'all, this is Apple season.
00:04:46.394 --> 00:04:51.855
Even if you're not listening to this when it's Apple season, don't stop this episode, because I'm going to tell you why.
00:04:51.855 --> 00:04:53.935
You got to shop in season.
00:04:53.935 --> 00:04:55.997
Find out what's in season in your area.
00:04:55.997 --> 00:04:58.216
This tip will change everything for you.
00:04:58.216 --> 00:05:03.694
You think it won't, you think it just sounds like some floofy little tip, but this is where the river meets the road.
00:05:03.694 --> 00:05:12.499
If you want the food, the produce that you're buying, to have explosive flavor, you want it to taste amazing when you bite into it.
00:05:12.499 --> 00:05:14.855
This is key.
00:05:14.855 --> 00:05:23.480
And, yes, if you buy at your local farmer's market or your produce stand and you're getting from your local farmer and they're growing it, absolutely it's going to taste better.
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.697
But even when it's in season, just go into your local store and buying it.
00:05:27.697 --> 00:05:29.502
Look for it locally.
00:05:29.502 --> 00:05:33.658
Look for the local, because sometimes the stores will have locally grown apples.
00:05:33.658 --> 00:05:34.939
I know, I've seen that it sprouts.
00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:39.738
I've seen that at Whole Foods, I've seen it at different places locally grown apples, locally grown citrus.
00:05:39.738 --> 00:05:41.512
Pick it up.
00:05:41.512 --> 00:05:45.194
Now is the time, okay, when it's locally grown and it's in season.
00:05:45.194 --> 00:05:46.678
You're not going to believe.
00:05:46.678 --> 00:05:50.680
This is when, in the summertime, you pick up peaches and you bite into them.
00:05:50.680 --> 00:06:00.482
And in Georgia, in Tennessee, even if you can get them shipped in from there, like within a couple of days, and get them pretty fresh, that juice is rolling down your arm.
00:06:00.482 --> 00:06:02.697
It is the sweetest, sugary thing you forgot.
00:06:02.850 --> 00:06:05.036
The intensity of the flavor is just like nothing else.
00:06:05.137 --> 00:06:05.579
You forgot.
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:09.192
You think you remember how good it was, until you bite into it and it's the best one you ever had.
00:06:09.192 --> 00:06:13.538
Again, for the next season, again, this is just what happens.
00:06:13.538 --> 00:06:15.175
It's citrus season right now.
00:06:15.295 --> 00:06:24.036
Yeah, at the time of this podcast, we're going into citrus season, so oranges, grapefruits there's so much more citrus than just lemon, lime, oranges and grapefruit.
00:06:24.036 --> 00:06:24.476
Okay.
00:06:24.476 --> 00:06:28.322
So then the next key we're blown by the yeah yeah, jared's sharing the next key here.
00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:36.117
So the next key is please don't just buy that apple or that orange that you're used to when the citrus is in season.
00:06:36.117 --> 00:06:40.959
Get yourself some pomelo, buy yourself some kumquats and enjoy them.
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.535
You can pop the whole thing in your mouth.
00:06:42.535 --> 00:06:43.377
They are delicious.
00:06:43.709 --> 00:06:46.656
Now bonus tip here With kumquats, don't peel them.
00:06:46.855 --> 00:06:47.036
Oh no.
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:49.877
The sweetness is actually in the skin, the rind.
00:06:49.916 --> 00:06:50.197
Yes.
00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:52.976
And then the insides roll tart, but it balances.
00:06:52.976 --> 00:06:54.434
It's God's sweet tart.
00:06:54.694 --> 00:06:59.617
I'm telling you, those little things are incredible Especially we didn't know that at first and we ate them.
00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:03.858
We thought we don't like these they're really tarts because we weren't eating the whole fruit there.
00:07:04.038 --> 00:07:12.422
Yeah, if you're in Florida or you're getting them shipped in from Florida and it's the winter time and you're getting citrus in, buy all man's, buy it.
00:07:12.422 --> 00:07:14.415
This is when you want to try the new things too.
00:07:14.415 --> 00:07:16.742
Satzuma, eat them.
00:07:16.742 --> 00:07:17.733
They're wonderful.
00:07:17.733 --> 00:07:22.613
Blood oranges instead of just the regular navel oranges or Valencia you always buy.
00:07:22.613 --> 00:07:28.100
Branch out Limes, lemons, eat them.
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.353
They are great for you.
00:07:29.353 --> 00:07:31.774
What a great way to replace your salt.
00:07:31.774 --> 00:07:33.661
Okay, vinegar limes and lemons.
00:07:33.661 --> 00:07:51.079
Go back and listen to our episode on replacing salt in your food, even if you don't have high blood pressure, even if you don't have swelling or inflammation right now, you've got to hear that episode because you don't want to develop it or you want to help your elders who already have those problems.
00:07:51.389 --> 00:07:54.459
Or you just want another way to add amazing flavor to your food.
00:07:54.670 --> 00:07:57.137
Oh man, we're all about it and it will do that.
00:07:57.137 --> 00:07:58.915
Citrus will absolutely do that for you.
00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:03.901
Other things that we've eaten that when we get them in season, they're just amazing cantaloupes.
00:08:03.901 --> 00:08:07.220
If you get a cantaloupe out of season, it's okay.
00:08:07.629 --> 00:08:11.677
Now you're making me wish it was summertime, but it doesn't have that sweetness and that flavor.
00:08:12.230 --> 00:08:17.742
Our oldest daughter, when she was really young, used to call it juicy, juicy, exactly.
00:08:18.329 --> 00:08:19.675
She even would sign for it.
00:08:19.675 --> 00:08:29.096
She would go juicy, juicy, more juicy, more juicy because she loved cantaloupes I meant those were her words for it juicy, when it was in season.
00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:31.557
So watermelons when they're in season.
00:08:31.557 --> 00:08:35.419
Now can you get apples, kind of quote unquote, out of season?
00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:42.109
Yes, but those are generally flown from countries in the southern hemisphere because it's summer there when it's winter here.
00:08:42.109 --> 00:08:50.317
And we're not saying that's a bad thing, especially if your local supermarket can get it where it's not picked so early before it ripens.
00:08:50.317 --> 00:08:56.499
But to get the best flavor, if you can get it when it's in season, it's local.
00:08:56.499 --> 00:09:05.230
It's been allowed to stay on the plant until it's peak of ripeness, so it's going to have that flavor, but it's also going to have the best nutrient content that you can get.
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:17.750
So if you want to eat less sodium for health, you want to decrease your salt so that you cannot develop high blood pressure, so you can fight it off, so you can decrease inflammation or help those in your life who just don't feel good.
00:09:17.750 --> 00:09:21.929
The next episode you're going to want to listen to is episode 243.
00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:26.471
How to eat less sodium for health and still enjoy delicious tasting meals you love.
00:09:26.471 --> 00:09:32.205
And one of the tips I'm going to share for you here is get your citrus, and especially when it's in season.
00:09:32.205 --> 00:09:38.424
So if you're listening close to the time we put this podcast out, absolutely Now is the time.
00:09:38.424 --> 00:09:43.988
Look for Florida grown it is amazing and don't just get the same old things.
00:09:43.988 --> 00:09:46.046
Try something new.
00:09:46.046 --> 00:10:06.427
This has been all about one thing you can do and I think we've learned about two or three bonuses in, like we always do but we want you to have the keys that really are going to get you there, that are going to make all the results happen in your life that you're after when it comes to your health, when it comes to feeling your absolute best.
00:10:06.427 --> 00:10:10.186
Do not miss out on what's in season.
00:10:10.186 --> 00:10:11.543
Google it online.
00:10:11.543 --> 00:10:14.287
What is in season in my area right now?
00:10:14.287 --> 00:10:22.466
What is in season for blah, whatever month, or you can just look at that season the best fruits to eat fresh in the fall.
00:10:22.466 --> 00:10:24.043
There's so many different ways.
00:10:24.043 --> 00:10:25.508
You can ask it, but you want to have any trouble.
00:10:25.508 --> 00:10:26.945
It's going to pull up lists for you.
00:10:26.945 --> 00:10:28.985
Get those things into your life.
00:10:28.985 --> 00:10:33.412
They're going to not only taste better, they're going to be more nutrient dense.
00:10:33.412 --> 00:10:37.811
They're going to fuel your body even well, but the flavors are going to blow your mind.
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.065
And it's not just fruit.
00:10:39.065 --> 00:10:46.509
We've kind of concentrated on that for this, but the green leafies you have your warm leaf lettuces and your cooler leaf lettuces.
00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.330
You have your cooler season squashes and your summer squashes.

What do I do with it?
00:11:11.251 --> 00:11:12.384
What can I use it in?
