Dr. Lisa Herzig, dietetics and food administration program director, is coordinating Bulldogs in the Grocery Store, nutritional information tours for Fresno State students and the community, from March 4 to May 6 at the Save Mart Supermarket at 5750 N. First St.
Fresno State nutrition and dietetic students are hosting the one-hour sessions, which teach the importance of fruits and vegetables in providing essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients and in supporting healthy immune systems.
The eight-person tours will include free educational materials, coupons, budgeting tips and recipes. A student-designed cookbook will also be available at the end of the tour for $5.
The program was created by a $5,000 grant from the Produce for Better Health Foundation.
