JUNE 2018 | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 5 “Just pop the whole thing into your mouth,” I told my son, handing him a bright orange kumquat. “Even the skin?” he looked at me incredulously. “Yup,” I answered with a smile. Inspired by Diana Gregory, who graces our cover this month, my family is embarking on a challenge of eating 30 different fruits and vegetables over June’s 30 days. Instead of the boring bananas, corn, apples and carrots we usually eat, we’ll treat our palates to the new, multi-hued splendor of dragon fruit, celeriac, durian and chard. I had the pleasure of interviewing Diana Gregory recently and seeing her passion for sharing the nutritional value of produce with seniors at two of her farmers markets. Full of new ways to work with and love fresh fruits and vegetables, Gregory knows that if she can persuade more older adults to eat fresh fare and actually enjoy it, she can improve the health and lives of under- resourced communities. So she’s made it her mission to help people eat better every day. Summer seems the perfect time to start. With looser schedules and fewer commitments, June is an ideal time to get amped up about new possibilities, whether it be a summer camp (see page 6) , a new restaurant (check out page 26) , a novel read (some ideas on page 42) or a fresh chapter in life. Perhaps that’s why June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month – a time to slow down and savor bounteous crops and new flavors. With faith that I wasn’t playing a prank, my boy plopped the whole kumquat in his mouth and chomped down. A smile of surprise and discovery spread across his face. “It’s really good,” he said.
