| Impact Report | “Grilling Veggies” (2008) was presented by the County Agriculture Agent, ICAN (Ideas for Cooking and Nutrition) Nutrition Educator and home economist twice during the 2008 Farmers’ Market season. Customers at Portales Farmers’ Market were shown how to grill vegetables available at Farmers’ Market using healthy ingredients such as olive oil and salt free seasonings. This opportunity increased customers’ knowledge of healthy and simple preparation for fresh vegetables they were not previously aware of. It also helped the producers sell more vegetables. Samples of the food were distributed along with a booklet on grilling vegetables and promotional information for the ICAN program. The Nutrition Educator was able to converse with many of the customers in Spanish thus increasing the amount of useful contacts that were made. Testing of pressure canning gauges was also available. |
