ATLANTA, GA– Just in time for the “Back-to-School” season, Farm Star Living, a national lifestyle brand promoting the farm to everything movement and a healthy lifestyle, has created a week of Farm-Fresh Lunchboxes that can help parents plan and prepare a nutritious and delicious week ahead.
“We know how challenging it can often be to get children to eat fruits and vegetables, and making sure that they have a well-balanced, nutritious diet” says Mary Blackmon, Founder of Farm Star Living. “However, we have planned a full week of lunchboxes with ‘sweets’ that are quite nutritious, which is perfect for parents who are seeking some farm-fresh inspiration.”
Every lunchbox created offers a kid-friendly, nutritionally balanced lunch to help kids develop healthy immune systems, and strong brains and bodies. Each lunchbox showcased includes a vegetable and a sweet fruit as dessert. To create these balanced lunchboxes, Farm Star Living has partnered with Seald Sweet for their fresh, juicy citrus.
During the back-to-school season, Seald Sweet’s summer citrus is the perfect fruit for lunchboxes. Farm Star Living’s lunch boxes include Seald Sweet’s delicious and juicy South African navel oranges and Mandarina’s™ exceptionally sweet, “easy-peeler” mandarins. Mandarina’s™ mandarin varieties are the best of the mandarin category and include varieties such as Murcotts and Clemengold® mandarins. These fruits are seedless with outstanding eating quality, high sugars, and an intensely rich flavor. Clemengold® mandarins are a proprietary variety from some of the finest growing regions in South Africa and are only available through limited suppliers, such as Seald Sweet, in late August through October.
Citrus is the perfect fruit for lunchboxes to help students be at their best learning potential. Oranges and mandarins are refreshing and delicious, and offer a wide range of nutritional benefits such as combatting fatigue, providing energy, and the high vitamin C helps fight colds and increases immunity.
