Show a little love to your taste buds and try some of our favorites, which are available in stores from now until the end of fall....

You might think you could spend a small fortune on products that will supposedly be your magic ticket to weight loss. But unfortunately, there’s no magic trick for weight loss, and most of the time those products aren’t as effective as they may seem. Not all supplements are bad, but they are poorly regulated, which can mean their quality and safety varies. Instead of a weight-loss supplement, these tools will actually help you lose weight and feel healthier and more energized, no pill required....

powdered donuts on light pink background Sugar has been described as highly addictive. It’s even called a drug in some nutritional circles. But is sugar really that bad? The moment something sweet lands on your tongue, your brain’s reward system kicks into gear, releasing dopamine and feel-good chemicals. “More,” it says, “give me more.” The truth is, everything in moderation is OK; that includes sugar.

If you’ve been to a grocery store lately, there’s a good chance that you encountered a large, green and spiky fruit sitting next to other tropical produce. It’s called a jackfruit and it’s something you’ll be seeing lots more of. This bulbous fruit can be used for both savory and sweet dishes, depending on its ripeness. Because of its size, however, it can be an incredibly intimidating food. Not only can it weigh up to 50 pounds, but it also has a thick, green rind surrounding the fleshy inside....

While in recent years some locations have added local produce and healthier dishes to their menus, and implemented sustainability measures like composting, the changes have been slow to roll out. When Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings, was preparing to open in 2016, the culinary team knew they could deliver a more elevated food experience while highlighting the region’s agricultural abundance—there are nearly 2 million acres of farmland in the Sacramento area—along with great beers and wines....
