Louisiana Farmers Market Nutrition Program
Eligible WIC participants, at participating clinics, will receive FMNP coupons in addition to their regular WIC benefits. These coupons can be used to buy eligible foods from farmers’ markets that have been approved to accept FMNP coupons.
Get to Know Your Veggies
Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, or canned; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed. Based on their nutrient content, vegetables are organized into five subgroups: dark green; red and orange; beans, peas, and lentils; starchy; and other vegetables.
To enjoy the healthful benefits of vegetables, you should vary your veggies often. Try to make your plates very colorful. Remember to make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
