Fruits and Veggies A to Z song

On the lighter side, here's a little fruit and veggie song. Hope you enjoy it!

To the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:

Fruits and Veggies A to Z

Carrots that will help you see

Beets you purchase in a bunch

Broccoli you like to munch

Onions, Kale, Zucchini, too

Veggies that are good for you

Fruit and Veggies A to Z

5 a day to be healthy!

Fruits and Veggies A to Z

Cherries that are so tasty

Apples with a healthy crunch

Grapes are tasty in your lunch

Berries, melon, peaches too

Fresh fruits that are good for you

Fruit and Veggies A to Z

5 a day to be healthy!

Detroit Eastern Market

The Detroit Eastern Market got a very nice write-up in the June 26th copy of the Free Press. We've done business with Dan, Randall and Kimberly ever since we started Eat Local Food, and they have done nothing but impress us with their dedication to returning the market to its deserved place as a crown jewel for the city. If you haven't made it down to the market in the last few years, please take this as a not so gentle reminder to get your self down there.

Also, while you are there, don't forget to stop by R. Hirt Jr. Co. and visit Mary on the third floor.

Wash your Reusable Bags!

This from the Washington Post:

Reusable bags found to be dirty

A reminder to shoppers who use reusable grocery bags: Don't forget to wash them after you've emptied them.

Nearly every bag examined for bacteria by researchers at the University of Arizona and Loma Linda University found whopping amounts of bugs. Coliform bacteria, suggesting raw-meat or uncooked-food contamination, was in half of the bags, and E. coli was found in 12 percent of the bags.

Running the bags through a washer or cleaning them by hand reduced bacteria levels to almost nothing, the study reported, but nearly all shoppers questioned said they do not regularly, if ever, wash their reusable bags. About a third said they also used their food-shopping bags to haul around non-food items.

The study was funded by the American Chemistry Council amid debate over a California bill that would ban single-use plastic bags. The council is opposed to that measure.

Eat Local Food USA made tote bags are reusable and washable and we DO recommend you wash them regularly - especially if you use them for grocery shopping. We recommend you turn your Eat Local Food Tote Bag inside out and wash it on a cold water setting. Leaving it turned inside out, it can be put in your clothes dryer on a low heat setting. We've washed our bags many, many times and the designs hold up beautifully! You can view available in stock designs at www.eatlocalfoodstore.com.
