Vegetable Box of goodness

When stocking up your Tarian Panty with fruit & vegetables each week, remember to bring an eco shopping bag or ask for a vegetable box for your purchases instead of using and contributing to the production of plastic bags.

The most inexpensive way to do your produce shopping each week is purchasing from your local growers markets. A box of goodness such as what's pictured will set you back around $45...not bad considering this is feeding two people, its all organic and it easily provides goodness for 7 meals and 7 lunches.

And if there are any vegetables left overs at the end of the week, my kitchen tip: you can always make a soup!

Imperfect is perfect

After adopting an organic lifestyle over 5 years ago, it soon became apparent that the produce I was purchasing did not look like that found in conventional supermarkets, featured on TV or pictured in magazines.

It wasn't to say that the organic produce I was buying was sub standard, it just meant I was buying produce that fell naturally off trees when ripe and that the produce was grown without the use of pesticides and insecticides. What I noted I was and still eating, was and is nature.

Nature gives us the gift of food, warts and all. I would much prefer to find dirt on my mushrooms, a worm in my lettuce and dark marks on my oranges than buy something that looks like its been airbrushed!

What exactly is a healthy diet?

In short, a healthy diet is one that:

Satisfies our physical & mental needs for energy and nutrients

Provides our body with a wide variety of natural nutrients

Minimises our exposure to potentially hazardous substances

Includes food that is produced & grown using environmentally friendly and sustainable methods

We say no to nasties and yes to real eating...after all, this is the way nature intended us to eat.
