There’s a big trend nowadays on buying organic fruits and vegetables. I guess you have to have faith that the company isn’t just packaging regular produce and calling it organic. The benefits are obvious - no pesticides, heathy and better quality food, but the expense can be a bit prohibitive. It’s always good to source out a trusted supplier to make sure that you are comfortable with who you select.
I visited the local burger joint yesterday and saw a notice posted regarding tomatoes being banned for now due to illnesses around the US. Apparently there was a pattern to salmonella poisoning that could be traced to the tomatoes they consummed. Hopefully the exact source of the problem is found soon. It’s amazing how you don’t realize what part of your burger is essential, until it’s missing!
I took my daughter to a berry farm last weekend. It’s amazing how their eyes light up at fruit outside, but not fruit on the kitchen countertop! This farm was specifically for kids and babies who wanted to spend more time playing with the fruit rather than eating it. There were blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and frank-n-berries…ok, this last one I made up (remember the cereal?). The best time to go is when it’s overcast outside. If it’s too hot, that’s a distraction. If it’s raining, you get wet. Makes sense?
