Hi Lynne

- I know organic is expensive; I pay £1.20 for a pack of 5 here in

Cheltenahm, BUT it IS important to eat organic esp when One makes

them a staple of the diet.

 

Yuh know, a funny thing is I have HUGE dislike for watermelon - to

the point that it's upset my system in the past! I don't even like

the smell.

But then I have two friends who detest bananas, one of whom dislikes

avocadoes too - Needless to say she " can't get enough " Watermelon!

 

PEACHES/NECTARINES:

To add, on food storage -

Most fruits donot do well if they are chilled before they are

ripened.

Peaches and nectarines in particular - the skins go wobbly and the

fruit remains acidic if they are chilled to early; where as with

pears One can get away with refridgerating them a little earlier.

 

Fruits like figs will cause the tongue to " burn " if they are eaten

underipe. I have even known my tongue to bleed when I once ate an

underipe pineapple (in the days when organic was virtually non-

existant)

For most people living in the U.K I recomend they donot eat

pineapple, even if it's organic; They are always underipe (I have no

experience in London however?)
