Retailer brings the family together in the kitchen , /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) today shared easy tips to make a fresh family meal together, centered around in-season fruits and vegetables, that even the youngest kids can enjoy preparing. "Cooking and eating together as a family can be a rare pleasure," said Carlo Baldan, Kroger group vice president of Fresh Merchandising. "Eating fresh, in season fruits and vegetables is a healthy and simple way to gather, especially in the summertime. With endless ways to prepare a meal, often highlighting the incredible natural flavors found in Kroger's produce section is simply the best and made even better together with family." Enjoy summertime with produce at its peak of freshness: Vegetables: Avocados, Beets, Bell Peppers, Carrots, Celery, Corn, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Garlic, Green Beans, Okra, Onions, Peas, Summer Squash, Tomatillos, Tomatoes and Zucchini Fruits: Apricots, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Cherries, Honeydew Melon, Mangos, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Raspberries, Watermelon, Strawberries, Apples, Pineapple and Bananas Citrus: Lemons and Limes Have fun in the kitchen and explore how fresh foods impact health and wellness with these tips from Kroger, including: Eat the rainbow: Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables ranging in colors like red, green, orange, yellow and purple provide maximum nutrition benefits that help fight chronic and preventable diseases. Toss together a crisp salad using vegetables in season such as tomatoes, corn, carrots and cucumbers. The smallest helpers can wash the produce with a thorough check from adults. Little ones can also have fun building the salad, creating their own array of vibrantly colored vegetables. Make it a craft: With the help of an adult, build a skewer with prepared onions, bell peppers, zucchini and summer squash. Create fun patterns using the ingredients, rotating colors, shapes and sizes. A few minutes on the grill will keep the vegetables crisp and add a delicious caramelization. Experiment with spices and herbs: Dress up fresh items with natural ingredients like rosemary, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper or cumin to bring out the incredible flavors of vegetables such as green beans, eggplant, okra, summer squash and more. Measure out spices and herbs ahead of time for young chefs, allowing them to experiment, taste and season. Cool down with dessert: Make simple popsicles using in season berries and watermelon. Try blending fruits with Greek yogurt, honey and a squeeze of citrus—lemon or lime—for a treat kids will have fun making and eating. Or keep it simple with frozen bananas and let the family pick toppings like peanut butter or dark chocolate. Try something new: Be bold and try Kroger's exclusive seasonal offerings. New this summer are super sweet, exceptionally juicy Private Selection® Black Diamond Watermelons. Perfect for cookouts, snacks and even breakfast. Do not miss out on the limited-time only Private Selection® Hatch Chiles, a seasonal customer favorite straight from the farm fields of Hatch, New Mexico. Available in mild, medium, hot and extra hot, there are chiles for every palate but be sure to get them while they last. In addition to fruits and veggies, create a balanced meal with lean proteins like chicken and fish and include heart healthy grains such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice or quinoa.
