 We have been enjoying the fresh organic fruits this summer, especially the local blueberries, peaches, and melons. Thank you Mirit. As part II to an earlier post – Storing Your Organic Produce , where I listed how to store vegetables, I would like to share tips and tricks to extend the life of your fresh organic fruits, without plastic.
We have been moving more and more to paper bags for storage in the refrigerator. You can [...]
 We all have the same question.
How do I store the different vegetables or fruits from this weeks Harvest?
Often just putting them in the refrigerator accelerates the problem and they dry out. But we all try to make our fresh organic fruits and vegetables remain that way as long as we can. During Harvest Day we have learned that green leafy plants love to be stored in wet towels with flake ice on top of them, [...]
 Imagine eating 100 grams of fiber a day as you hunt and gather from all manners of roots, berries, leaves and plants. Now, realize that the average American eats about 8 grams of fiber a day while they work their way through a week. It was the fiber that helped our ancestors to stay thin and healthy.
Of course all that walking around and running from “things” that eat you helped too.
Did you know?

Flagler Organics has made a great connection with a local organic blueberry producer for Palm Coast, Bunnell and Flagler Beach members. We are so excited about our first harvest on Tuesday. We will have hundreds on pounds of fresh organic blueberries, so bring a friend, tell and neighbor and share with everyone this great opportunity to buy fresh organic blueberries below farmer market prices and well below retail.
Blueberries are rich in Vitamins A, C, [...]
 Today many “foods” we have the option of eating taste great but may have little or no nutritional value. There are many recent studies that show we are actually what we eat. Either we are eating to prevent disease and inflammation or we are not, and I can say from experience that it is not easy. The National Cancer Institute says that 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day can decrease your risk of [...]
 Fresh Brew from LifeThyme Cafe in Palm Coast, City Walk
Some of you already know that we carry fresh organic coffee from The Life Thyme Cafe and Wellness – Anne Marshall and Carola Coopers’ new and wonderfully exciting apothecary, massage and organic coffee cafe in City Walk, Palm Coast.
Believe me you will not find this organic product at the Farmer’s Market or even in your local big industry grocery stores. We drink coffee and I [...]
According to Alternative Medicine practitioners, food is medicine. Each piece of fruit or vegetable that we eat contains certain nutrients & minerals which contribute to our health.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) each food is categorized as warming, cooling, or neutral to the body. For example, when you eat red pepper, a warming food, you feel hotter, maybe your face gets red or you sweat. By [...]
When it comes to preventing or easing seasonal allergies, local honey works far more effectively and safely than the immune-suppressing allergy drugs prescribed by doctors or sold over the counter. It also saves you lots of money. Horticulturist/author Tom Ogren (www.allergyfree-gardening.com) has described local honey as being packed with pollen grains and other nutrients making it one of the most potent immune-system boosters.
How local honey works is similar to homeopathy’s concept of “like cures like.”
Allergies [...]

I understand the value of nutrition, digestion, and healthy, organic eating. Being a Flagler Organics member I feel good knowing my groceries are organic, fresh, local, and affordable. I personally love when the greens in my basket have dirt and bugs nestled inside. It reminds me of my parents’ farm in Michigan and the gorgeous garden my dad grows. But it also reminds me of the importance of thoroughly cleaning any [...]
Choose Brown Rice for Health
I always viewed brown rice as the “Health Food” rice because that is what I found in the Health Stores during the late 60’s and early 70’s – Brown Rice. But it really is better for us because:
Weight Watcher’s Dream
Brown rice is every weight watcher’s dream food. A common sense approach to obesity control is to eat foods that have low glycemic index (GI), like raw vegetables and fruits and whole [...]
 I just read a sweet paperback book “Food Rules – An Eater’s Manual” by Michael Pollan. I saw Michael Pollan on the “Daily Show” with John Stewart last week. Food Rules is a simple to read delight with common sense advice about food. It is a wake up call from your great-grand-mother about what we are calling food and what we need to know about how the food industry manipulates us and markets their processed [...]
Right now, it seems like everyone is looking for the secret to weight loss.
There are tons of diet pills to choose from at the mall, and the latest quick fix diets are heavily publicized. The truth is, there’s no healthy miracle diet that will help you take off 20 pounds overnight, but there are things that can give you that extra boost to finally take the weight off once and [...]

There is a sacred weekly to biweekly ritual we perform in our house. This ritual is not dance, nor is it one of religious or irreligious tradition. The ritual we perform, rather, is one new to our house, and indeed relatively new to the West: it is the brewing of Kombucha.
We first started making Kombucha when we realized we enjoyed drinking it too much to continue paying four dollars per [...]

Consumer Reports has issued the results of their latest investigation of chicken safety, and the news is not good. In their latest analysis, over two thirds of fresh, whole broilers purchased in stores across the United States were infected with either salmonella or campylobacter bacteria, the leading causes of foodborne illness. The rate has improved since the magazine’s January 2007 report, when 80% of store-bought chickens were [...]

Did you know that you can promote or inhibit good digestion with certain combination of foods? Were you aware that the way in which you ingest certain foods can actually waste nutrients and even affect your health in a negative way?
It is true, some commonly combined foods actually cause our bodies to absorb far less nutrients and work much harder than they were meant to in order to complete the digestive [...]

Probiotics are preparations of live micro-organisms (usually including lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, streptococci, and some yeasts such as Saccharomyces, and molds) which are believed to be beneficial to health by restoring microbial balance in the intestine.
Probiotics are the “friendly” bacteria that benefit the colon and therefore the immune system. They are produced for human consumption most often in dairy products containing two types of microbes, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. More recently, probiotic dietary supplements are becoming [...]
Many years ago, when I first got into food and before I had ever heard of phytonutrients I thought “ what if you could eat for nutrition by color?” Years later I realize you can and that the organic components of plants that indicate the color contain powerful antioxidants.
Phytonutrients are not vitamins you receive when eating a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, they are a photochemical that provides support to the seed. It is [...]
 Squashes are the fruits of various members of the gourd family, which are classified as summer squash and winter squash.
Winter squash comes all shapes round, elongated, scalloped and pear-shaped with flesh that ranges from yellow to orange. Most winter squashes are vine-type plants whose fruits are harvested when fully mature. They take longer to mature than summer squash (3 months or more) and are best [...]
