| Healthy food choices abound in Irvine Posted: 17 Feb 2011 12:09 AM PST Looking for healthy food choices in town? Check out these three options. TANAKA FARMS Starting March 17, the public can take an hour-long strawberry tour at Tanaka Farms in Irvine. MARK AVERY, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER ADVERTISEMENT Strawberries! Here is something fun to do, take an hour strawberry tour at Tanaka Farms. You'll take a guided tractor-pulled wagon ride around the farm, see all the fruits and vegetables growing, taste them...then pick and eat your own strawberries. Tours start March 17. While you're there, why not pick up some chocolate covered strawberries? Yum! Tanaka Farms is at 5380 3/4 University Drive, near Michelson Drive. Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. Info: www.tanakafarms.com or 949-653-2100. WHOLESOME CHOICE MARKET There are so many food options at this wonderful market! The only downside is deciding what to choose. Whether it's produce you're looking for, quality meat, or foods from around the world – it's definitely a go-to place. Visit the food court and order Chinese, Persian, Thai, and more. I've picked up some marvelous spices, and excellent saffron rice. I've also purchased a savory whole roast chicken, served it with rice and salad. A big hit! UC Irvine students take note. Show your university identification card, and you'll get a 5 percent discount! Wholesome Choice Market is at 18040 Culver Drive, near Michelson Drive. Hours: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., 7 days a week. Info: www.wholesomechoice.com or 949-551-4111. JAMBA JUICE There are lots of juice places around, and I've visited quite a few of them. But I keep coming back to Jamba Juice, time after time. First of all, some of the low sugar choices are more than tasty (Strawberry Nirvana). Consistency is the second reason I return. I know my drink will be blended just right. Another important factor is the cleanliness of Jamba Juice. There is much pride in ownership, and I appreciate that. The wait time is short. Call ahead, if you're in a hurry. Staff is super friendly-an extra bonus. Jamba Juice is at 17595 Harvard Avenue, suite F, near Main Street. Hours: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Info: www.jambajuice.com or 949-250-5348. ArticleLooking for healthy food choices in town? Check out these three options.
