You don't have to be bashful about wearing your bathing suit this summer, because there's no shortage of healthy, low-calorie produce sprouting at a farmers' market near you. Take your pick!

Peaches

Smell is the best indicator of ripeness for this vitamin A-mazing fuzzy fruit, so simply stick your nose into the barrel at the farmers' market to pick a perfect peach. Another good sign? The flesh slightly indents when you press it. And since peaches are very perishable, don't buy more than you can eat in a day or two. But by all means, indulge!
