Seafood Heart Health Day set for February 25
The Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) is teaming up with Memphis-area Kroger stores to help Memphians become healthier through a seafood-rich diet. The organization will be in Kroger stores Saturday, February 25, 2017, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. to share seafood coupons and information and tips about a seafood diet.
Kroger stores will have volunteers sharing information about the benefits of eating a seafood-rich diet and sharing recipes and coupons in the seafood department. Select stores will have samples from the seafood department. There will be a Facebook Live broadcast at www.facebook.com/snpmemphis for customers to ask questions about cooking and eating seafood.
