Dried Fruit
While it’s important to eat only organic fruit,
it’s even more vital to make sure any dried fruit
you buy is organic. This is because any pesticide
residues present in the fresh fruit will still be
there in the dried fruit. Additionally, it’s easy
to eat a whole handful of dried fruit that may
have started off as four or five pieces fresh.
Suddenly, what was supposed to be a healthy snack
delivers a hefty dose of toxins to you or your
child.
If you can’t find organic dried fruit in your
area, look into buying a dehydrator. They usually
run about $40, but you can always chip in for one
with friends. You can make your own fruit
roll-ups, preserve veggies and fruits for use out
of season, and rest easy knowing exactly what’s
in the food you’re eating.
Better yet,
make your own out of recycled
and repurposed materials.
This is a great project some folks in my
permaculture class came up with, I was really
impressed!
