BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters choose a pint of organic dried cherries instead of nonorganic, we'll avert the weight of six old biddies in pesticides.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the five most common external causes of skin wrinkling are the sun, facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking.

Are wrinkles always a bad thing?

The Bite

Of crease not. Just look at organic dried fruit, which lets you taste nature's candy all year round - plus, the healthy antioxidants it packs might even give you a leg up on crow's feet.

 

The Benefits

 

Appetizing anti-agers. Fruit contains a lotta cell-protecting and -renewing antioxidants, and certain dried fruits have more than their fresh counterparts. Example: Dried blueberries have four times the antioxidants of fresh.

No artificial preservatives. Some dried fruits are treated with preservatives called sulfites, which can cause allergic reactions. Not these.

Organic options. The market for organic food is growing at around 20% per year; let's keep the low-pesticide momentum going.

A little love for the locals. Dehydrating your own local, in-season fruit at home helps support farmers in your community.

 

Personally Speaking

Moderation is key: 13 dried apricots on an empty stomach gave Jen so much " tummy trouble " that she had to miss an invite-only Indigo Girls concert.
