Buying Fruits & Veggies At The Grocery Store - What You Need To Know

Let's go shopping for fresh produce at the store! We will cover exactly what organic means and the difference between non-gmo and organic produce. I also want to show you tips for extending the life of your fruits and veggies, along with my favorite type of kale, called lacinato. If you are going to spend money on produce, you should know which ones are dirty dozen and clean 15, how to store them, and how to make sure you don't waste your money. Mad love..Bobby, Dessi, Rose, and Art! XOXO

this channel has become my favorite, I feel so powerful when I walk into the grocery store now

[@errorASMR]

we are the organic gods

[@rachelreinholm]

Same!!!

[@pamelabarrell3153]

My favorite channel too! I feel the same way! Thank you Flavcity.

[@gk-m5855]

Yea i feel u on that. I have learned sooo much from this channel. So glad I come across this channel. Its helped me avoid things and let me know what to get and what to look for in different items. So i know what to get. Plus I share my findings with others like my dad. We are both researching daily about foods to be eating. And overall just health and other things too. Plus me and my dad are on a alkaline diet to detox and eat right. It comes with many more benefits and is very needed. Our diets consists of raw veggies, rawfruits,nuts,alot of spring water etc. We got a nice list of things to have and I try follow. We know it will take time to fully adopt to it. Becausw u know alot of us hasn't really eaten this way before growing up it was alot of junk food. So u got to give the body time to adjust to something different. Its a lifestyle change is what it is. So im really working on it. Starting now not later to really discipline me mentally and physically so its like second nature to me. So its helped me soo much i watch Flavcity like all the time. No cap even in the store looking at items. i got me a little notebook where i take Alots of notes and things and write other stuff down. I take it with me all the time looking though it and writing all different things down. Trying to get as much knowledge as I can. But i dont over do it Its alot of info but its worth it. This is your life we are talking about and if u are serious about it. You would want to do all this. And take time to really research the kinds of things we eat on a daily basis that might not be as good as u think. And overall just know what u are really eating and what it does to the body in general. Also being I'm a Parkour athlete and im very passionate about it. So thats a little on me and what im doing. Plus we got the Covid out here and with it comes alot of self time. How are u using it? So its all up to u what u want to do. Keep it up Flavcity love the content very informative. God bless be safe,be wise enjoy yall day🙏☺

[@vivianpowell1732]

Brawny brand paper towels now has a new size called "Tear A Square", where a perforated full sheet separates into four 5.5" squares. Great idea for times when you don't need a full sheet. Saves a lot of waste. I like this product so much that I've switched from my regular brand of paper towels. The "Tear A Square" towels also work great as full size and half size. You hardly notice the perforations.

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Yes JC, I do too, especially if buying a big 'spring greens' salad container, I always wrap the salad in fresh paper towels. They do prevent it getting mushy too fast, especially if you only wash what you're using.

I was hoping to see how you wash your fruits and vegetables. I can never get the wax off apples for example, is it bad to consume?

[@michellehasty1038]

I would like Bobby to chime in here too. I always use some white vinegar in the water when cleaning produce. And for apples, cukes, peppers, I pour it right on them and use paper towel to take off as much of the wax as possible. Then rinse.

[@garyvail6945]

blackmagick88 get organic

[@amandalashley3819]

If you buy organic I don't think the wax will hurt you, but if you sprinkle a little baking soda and water on your hand and give the Apple a good scrub with that it seems to get some of the residue off.
