🫛 Peas are the WIC-approved food of the month! Peas are packed with health benefits, and they’re a highly versatile kitchen staple that can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, roasted, or pan-fried 💪
Peas are packed with antioxidants that help build your immune system. They also contain carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which can protect your eyes from chronic diseases! 👀 Peas are also a great source of protein and fiber, helping your body break down carbohydrates and manage your blood sugar! 🌟
This month, try incorporating peas in your family's diet. You can even experiment with different methods of cooking them. Let us know your favorite way! 💭

Ever wonder what helps your blood clot when you get a cut or keeps your bones strong? It’s Vitamin K, an essential nutrient! Vitamin K is especially important for growing babies, which is why newborns receive a shot of it right after birth. 👶

You can find Vitamin K in many vegetables, like spinach, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower! 🥦 Need a tasty way to use these winter veggies? Try this simple Basic Quiche recipe that’s perfect for loading up with vegetables: https://www.myplate.gov/recipes/basic-quiche.

Use your WIC benefits to grab fresh or frozen greens and make healthy eating deliciously easy!
