We love eating the rainbow and we are betting you do too! Honestly, with the endless variety of California grown fruits and vegetables that are available to us year-round it’s easier to create delicious rainbow eats at home than you might think.
What fruits and vegetables grow in California?
Did you know that California produces 1/3 of the vegetables, 2/3 of the fruits and nuts, and over 80% of the wine in the nation? It’s true!
Since California is the largest producer of agricultural crops in the U.S., choosing CA Grown produce is good for the nation and the economy.
Supporting family farmers today helps to ensure there will be fresh food produced in California for generations to come.

Eating the rainbow isn’t just visually stimulating; you are guaranteed to feel pretty spectacular, too when you are filling your day with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables from California.
