In this vibrant February episode of The Global Fresh Series, we celebrate the spirit of the Chinese (Lunar) New Year — a season of prosperity, renewal, and symbolic foods — while honoring National Heart Month, spotlighting the powerful role fresh produce plays in cardiovascular wellness.
From citrus fruits symbolizing good fortune to berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, avocados, root vegetables, and other nutrient-rich staples that support heart health, we explore how global food traditions and modern nutrition science beautifully intersect.
Join us as we journey across cultures and commodities, uncovering how fresh produce fuels celebration, strengthens communities, and supports healthier lives worldwide. Whether it’s a lucky orange shared at the New Year table or a heart-smart salad packed with vibrant greens, this episode reminds us that the path to prosperity begins with what’s on our plate.
