The Slice

2012 Issue
September! Summer vacation is winding down and a new school year is about
to start. Schools will be opening their doors and parents will begin to prepare
lunch boxes. It is time to stock up on
Minnie’s Dried Fruits & Vegetables for the kids’ lunch boxes and your own
too!
The Slice will be emailed to you unless you choose
to read it on our blog Cut and Dried. We
hope you engage and comment by subscribing to Cut and Dried.
And we encourage you to try some of our recipes that use Minnie’s Dried Fruits
& Vegetables. Give us your feedback on those your try!
What's New This Month...
Dates: September is the month of
dates. The weather is still hot, allowing the dates to ripen. The palm trees in
Dahshour are beautiful with their heavy bounty of ripening dates that are turning
from green to red, or dark brown or golden yellow. And we, at Minnie’s, have
begun to pit and dry these luscious dates. They will be available the third
week of September.
Fruit Rolls: made
from the 100% natural fruit juice of the mangos or the strawberries, with no
preservatives or additional coloring. They come in packages of five pieces
individually wrapped and are great snacks at school, at work or at home.
Did You Know...
Dates
are a great source of fibers, anti-oxidants, and
minerals? They are rich in potassium, magnesium, copper and calcium. You can
snack on them whole, or cut them up and
add them to your morning cereal, or to your cake batter. They are delicious
served with fresh cream too.
Please help us continue to grow. When
you get a chance, like Minnie's Dried Fruits and
Vegetables on Facebook and go ahead and subscribe
