What's the difference between Natural and Organic food? Glad you asked...Natural foods may not contain additives or preservatives, but they may contain ingredients that have been grown with pesticides or are genetically modified. In other words, the ingredients in the ingredient panel will look familiar, but they have not been produced organically. Natural foods are not regulated and do not meet the same criteria that organic foods do.

TUESDAY'S TIP

Keep avocado’s from browning. Light, heat and air make them discolor once they are sliced open.

Here's how:
Once you slice open the avocado you will notice a pit in it. Use the half without the pit and store the other half with the pit in a tight container with red onions. Yes I said slice red onions! Red onions give off a sulfuric acid that helps to stabilize the avocado to keep them from browning.
