Bayer Hawaii has partnered with Jonathan Valdez, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and owner of Genki Nutrition, to celebrate National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables month! We recently collaborated with our home garden division, Seminis, to launch our veggie seed program to help improve Hawaii's food sustainability by supporting local farmers, home gardeners, as well as Hawaii's homeless population.

Through this effort, we were able to donate 100 veggie seed packets, including broccoli, onion, tomato and bell pepper, to the Institute of Human Services (IHS) Hale Mauliola housing navigation center located at Sand Island to help support the shelter's agricultural initiatives and garden to table program.

This Hawaiian Paradise Salsa recipe, courtesy of Jonathan Valdez, was made using our very own Seminis vegetables. You can make this healthy dish at home, too, by using veggies from your home garden or your local farmers market.
