Tightly sealed, cooled jars are ready to be stored. Wash the lid and jar to remove food residue; rinse and dry jars. Label and date jars, and store them in a cool, dark, dry place (50­70 degrees F is ideal). Do not store jars above 95 degrees F or near hot pipes, a range, a furnace, in an uninsulated attic, or in direct sunlight. Under conditions such as these, food will lose quality rapidly and may spoil. Dampness may corrode metal lids, break seals, and allow contamination and spoilage.

Nutritionists believe that because fresh produce looks appetizing, has an appealing texture, and often tastes much better than processed, that people are more likely to eat it and improve their overall nutrition.

If you can buy organic, it is preferable. According to the Environmental working Group and the Consumers Union, the two groups review pesticide data from the USDA and FDA, the following is a list of produce most likely to contain toxic pesticide residues: One of the pesticides found on apples, peaches and green beans is methyl parathion, an organophosphate pesticide that can affect the central nervous system.

GMO’s, or genetically modified organisms caught our attention way back in the 1980’s. As we delved into the science and technology that was developing behind the scenes we quickly came to the conclusion that genetic manipulation of life’s blueprint DNA was a very risky enterprise. It was not without it’s promise, but it was truly a doubled edged sword with the potential for both dramatic benefit and catastrophic risk.

Most fruits and vegetables (produce) are naturally low in fat and calories. Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh. Frozen or canned produce is often packaged right after it has been picked, which helps keep most of its nutrients. Fresh produce can sometimes lose nutrients after being exposed to light or air.

It is always best to use Fresh whenever possible; using Frozen foods is the second best choice. Caveat: read the labels as many frozen vegetables contain added salt.

Canned foods sit around on a shelf and leach many of their nutrients into the water in which they are packed. When we open canned foods, we most often toss out the packing liquid thereby, tossing out some nutrients as well. Canned foods often contain many different preservatives along with a high amount of sodium and sugar(s) depending on the type of canned food. The majority of canned fruits are packed in heavy syrups and sugars that are not good for baby.

There are a number of reason why liquid could be lost from jars of home canned foods. The most common reasons include: packing the jar too full, food packed so tightly that liquid does not fill the spaces between the food, starchy foods absorb extra liquid, liquid covering raw food is not boiling, jars in boiling water bathe are not covered with 1-2 inches of water, pressure in pressure canner fluctuates during processing, removing jars too quickly from the boiling water bath canner.

Yes, but they can all be good choices. Fresh foods are usually thought to have the most nutritional value. Often, though, frozen foods can be more nutritious than fresh foods because they are often picked ripe and quickly frozen, whereas nutrients can be lost in the time between harvest and eating fresh foods. Canning is more likely to reduce the heat-sensitive and water-soluble nutrients because of the high temperatures needed in the canning process.

How is it possible that a Creator, so full of love, created a world and a nature where animals can live only by killing other animals that have to endure terrible pain and suffering ?

For these very young infants, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that water, juice, and other foods are generally unnecessary. Even when babies enjoy discovering new tastes and textures, solid foods should not replace breastfeeding, but merely complement breast milk as the infant’s main source of nutrients throughout the first year.

Some fruits and vegetables are not vegan because they are coated with shellac, a resin made using the bodies of insects. Other vegetables are coated with a wax that may or may not be vegan.
