Fruit-forward pops

When we were kids, Popsicles came in flavors like "red" and "purple." Now, in many offerings there's actual fruit involved, not just food dyes. Among them is Fruttare, a line of fruit-based bars and fruit-and-milk bars. We liked the mango bars, a 60-calorie snack that tastes like mango - not "orange."

Preserve your greens

Keep your farmers' market bounty fresh longer by storing it a container designed to trap ethylene, a gas released by ripening fruits and vegetables that accelerates spoiling. OXO's GreenSaver line uses carbon filters to trap the gas, and each container comes with a built-in colander for rinsing produce and keeping it dry.
