Cherries - sweet and healthy
Produce with a purpose
This past December, Newman's Own Organics introduced a new
line of organic fresh produce items, and Goodness Greeness
began distributing them to our retail customers.
These new products,
including packaged salads, romaine hearts and carrots, have
become extremely popular in the Chicago area. In fact,
thanks to you, our area now leads the nation in the support
of these organic items, called "Produce with a Purpose
(TM)".
To thank you for this
support, Newman's Own Organics will provide you with coupons
(35 cents off) for their products in the Chicago Sun Time
this Sunday.
Here's the text of the
coupon announcement letter from Nell Newman, President of
Newman's Own Organics:
"We would like
to thank everyone in the Chicago market for your
enthusiastic support for the Newman’s Own® Organics Fresh
Produce line. We are excited that you are enjoying these
products. You are going to find another reason to purchase
Newman’s Own® Organics bagged salads, clamshell salads,
romaine hearts, carrots, and potatoes in the Chicago Sun
Times this Sunday, June 5th.
A coupon for Newman’s Own® and Newman’s Own® Organics Fresh
Produce will appear in the paper this Sunday. You will be
able to receive $0.35 off any Newman’s Own® Organics Fresh
Produce item. The coupon will give you another reason to
try Produce With a Purpose™.
Thank you
again for helping Newman’s Own® Organics give millions of
dollars to arts, education, disaster relief, and many other
great causes."

Cherries - sweet and healthy
Last week, we mentioned
in this newsletter that organic cherries are finally here.
Over the next few weeks, cherries will be at their peak and
you really have to try them.
Organic sweet cherries
launch the summer fruit season. They "explode with a
rich, sweet flavor". They're great as a snack, in
salads, as a topping on meat dishes or smothered with
chocolate.
For flavor alone, sweet
cherries make a great treat. But did you know that
sweet cherries are also surprisingly good for you?
In terms of traditional
nutrients, sweet cherries are rich in vitamin C and B
complex and are a good source of potassium.
In addition, sweet
cherries also provide a broad range of health benefits due
to the antioxidants that they contain. (Does this sound
familiar - we wrote about the health role of antioxidants in
fresh organic berries several weeks ago.)
These health benefits
include:
Pain relief,
Cancer prevention,
Bone health,
Heart disease prevention.
For example, researchers
claim that eating 20 cherries is ten times more potent than
aspirin (inflammatory enzymes are blocked, reducing pain,
including arthritic pain).
Further, certain
populations in Asia that consume large volumes of cherries
have a significant lower incidence of cancer (or are cancer
free).
For more information on
sweet cherries, including nutritional benefits, recipes,
cherry games for children and more, go to the
cherry section of
the Washington State Fruit Commission's website.
