MAY 2013
What's New This Month.....
Several items are new this month. Spring and Summer have brought with them a variety of new fruits which I have dried and added to our list!
Guava wedges:
Guava, a tropical fruit, fragrant and sweet, peeled, and cut into wedges, then dried on the trays of our solar tunnel. When dry, the golden wedges become even more fragrant and flavorful. Guavas are as good-and even better than apples- at keeping the doctors at bay! Read more about them under Did You Know?
Egyptian peaches are available now. Their flesh is orange and their taste is sweet. When cut up and dried their beautiful orange color and flavor become more intense. They are a treat to the palate!
Mushrooms:
Egyptian white button mushrooms are back on our list. Throw a handful in a soup or add them to your favorite tomato sauce or as a pizza topping, they are an excellent source of protein!
Did You Know That.....
Dried Guavas are a very healthy snack, because they are very high in fiber and are rich in vitamin A, C, and K as well as potassium, iron and magnesium. They are low in fat and in calories and are an excellent food for keeping you healthy because of their anti-oxidant properties. They are often labelled as a super fruit.
Dried Guavas can be eaten right out of the bag or in yogurt, on ice cream or mixed with nuts.
