For a refreshing and fruity treat, take a tip from OhMaxine, and make your own sorbet. Yes, not strawberry-kiwi sorbet because the ratio of kiwi to strawberry is 3:1.

They were small grape-sized fruits which were delicious and tart, sort of like regular kiwi, but sweeter and with a smooth, edible skin. Needless to say, I fell in love and wanted to eat them over and over again. Unfortunately by the Read more

The belief that pesticides do not have an effect on nutrients in foods, is being seriously challenged. Recent news from an EU funded project has found that organic fruits contained more Vitamin C than their non-organic counterparts. Specifically researchers found that organic carrots, apples and peaches contained higher levels of vitamin C and flavonoids, an antioxidant. While last week, U.S. Read more
