October's Fruit of the Month...PLUMS!
These mighty eagle's enjoyed their plums today at lunch !
Did you know ....
Only 43 calories, a medium plum contains 14% of the vitamin C you need in a day.
Plums also protect your heart. A medium fresh plum contains 113 mg of potassium that helps manage high blood pressure and reduce your risk of stroke.
Fun Fact: Plums symbolize good fortune in Chinese culture.
