"Nearly half of all food poisonings were attributed to produce in
general, when illnesses from fruits and vegetables were added in." You can
spray your produce or wash each surface thoroughly first with vinegar and then
with hydrogen peroxide. Then rinse the produce under running water or wipe the
surface with a clean wet sponge. In foreign countries 5 drops of chlorine
per gallon of water are used to dip vegetables in for five minutes to kill
field bacteria, and then the produce is thoroughly rinsed. You can omit the
above practices and elect to just ensure your produce is thoroughly
rinsed. You could rinse them in a vegetable spinner or in a colander. In
the world of fruit and vegetables there are "The clean fifteen:"
foods you want that you do not have to buy organic, and which may deserve
special consideration. And then there are “The dirty dozen:” food you want to
buy organic. After being thoroughly washed fruit can be sliced and cut as
required. At home, get a separate cutting board or pad for cutting fruit.
Suggested fruit as a # counts as 1 serving (1s) or 1
cup (1c) and grams of fiber (gf) as listed. As a rule of thumb 1 cup
fresh is equal to 1/2 cup cooked or dried. Get hard
Organic apples and set them in a bowl separate from
other fruit. It is a good look. It keeps them from ripening other fruit. Each apple
can be cut on a bias or into sections with a fruit slicer, placed on a plate,
and served, or drizzled with lemon and placed in a container
for eating later.
You only need a thin sliver of the meat and the skin. Each
apple can be cored and cut into slices crosswise and used as a crisp, or
each sliced piece can be cut in half and used as a dipper with a peanut butter,
honey, and yogurt dip. 1c or 1s with skin = 4.4gf. You can wash apples
place them on a plate and cover it with a bowl, and microwave each in
under eight minutes. Each apple may be opened and topped with ice cream
and or cinnamon, (or scooped out and placed over oatmeal or cake).
Apricots may be served whole, sliced, or dried, or as a
salsa for a main dish or side. (*R)
Avocado can be used as a condiment topping or as a
dip. You can cut an Avocado skin around the length of it and split
it in half; then using a knife blade, hit the seed and remove it with the
blade. Get a mini-grinder/food chopper. With it and re-cycled jars you can make
many a dip.
With an avocado you may make
Guacamole: essentially
Avocado scooped out of its shell and mashed it with a fork. To this you add
Grated garlic Lemon juice
Salt Cilantro or parsley
Minced onion, and
Diced tomatoes (drained). It is to be mixed by hand.

To this you can add diced Mangos and top it with some
Monterey Jack. You could mix this by hand. You may add hot pepper sauce or
jalapenos to Guacamole and if you would like, you may add sour cream to extend
this dip or any dip in which there is a cream. Finally you could add
Worcestershire sauce. It stopped being frugal right after the
tomatoes. But add new things. Tasting them can be fun. Cilantro and
parsley can be stored in the refrigerator in water in a jar, or under a plastic
bag in a jar sitting on a kitchen window ledge.
An Avocado can be cut in half, the seed removed, and each
half scooped out whole, and filled with fun stuff: fish or fruit.
