Red Sox Nation is going to be treated to a healthier culinary line up this season when attending home games. While Fenway Park has been previously named one of the healthiest ballparks in major league baseball, the menu is going to expand even further this season. Every year we have been selling more and more healthier fare, claims Ron Abell, Senior Executive Chef for Aramark at Fenway Park.

Chef Abell is not the only one noticing that healthy foods can sell at concession stands. In a study published in the Journal of Public Health, food concession sales increased at a high school in Iowa when healthy foods such as grilled chicken sandwiches, apples, and carrots were added to the offerings. For more on the study:

Here is a list of all the healthier foods that will now be available at Fenway Park:



 Vegetarian burgers and hot dogs

 Veggie pizza

 Sushi

 Veggie topped nachos

 Fresh whole fruits

 Fresh cut fruit cups

 Sabra® Hummus and pretzel chips
