(Des Moines) The Iowa State Fair may be best known for fried food, but fairgoers looking to eat lighter will have 18 options on this year’s “Healthy Choices” list.
The selections include a BLT and peanut butter and jelly sandwich served on a stick, caramel apple slices, grilled chicken, fresh fruit and several salads. The list also features a deep-fried shrimp corndog topped with a sweet jalapeño glaze.
Fair officials describe the items as healthier alternatives among the roughly 200 food stands and 50 foods served on a stick at the fair. The fair will run from August 13-23 in Des Moines. More information about food vendors and options can be found on the Iowa State Fair Website.
