October 2012 Issue
What's New This Month...
Dates: come in different colors,
shapes and tastes. We are continuing to dry the different varieties. In
addition, we have produced pressed date blocks or 3agwa, which are pitted
dates dried in our tunnel and formed into a block, then wrapped in two sizes. 3agwa
is delicious with eggs sunny side up and in baking. Just break a piece off and
cook with it or eat it.
Kiwi: is back in stock. Kiwi was such a hit last season, and you
have asked for it often. Don't miss out this time around.
Herbs and spices: we have a stock of sage, lemon grass,
rosemary, lavender, bay leaves, chives, hot chilies, green and red
for the courageous. They are all dried using solar energy, which keeps in the
flavors and oils.
Did You Know That:
Lemon
Grass has many
benefits and makes a
great tasting tea? A cup of lemon grass tea before bedtime will ensure a good
night’s sleep, will relieve indigestion, ease flatulence and will help
alleviate ailments of arthritis, gout and fever.
