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

[@oikawont]

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-m5]

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🙏☺

Wish there was a grocery store where you didn’t have to look at ingredients where everything is good to buy. U Even have to look through ingredients at Whole Foods. Would be awesome to walk in and just pick what u wanted and know it was good. Like a Bobby approved grocery store all on its on!!!

[@nerdcave0]

That'd be so great. I used to treat Trader Joe's that way years ago, but not anymore. I recently bought some tea bags from there and read the ingredients... literally said "organic natural flavors, natural flavors" - IN TEA BAGS?! Come on, TJs.

Been buying bagged kale for so long. So glad I watched this video. And all your videos have really changed my life man. Thanks!

[@jcszot]

I store my kale and spinach in containers with dry paper towels. I’ve had it last up to 10 days. Paper absorbs the moisture which prevents wilting and mushy leaves s

[@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.

[@Kindiah]

JC Szot Thanks for the tip!

[@cherrellworld7243]

JC Szot I Need To Try That

I recent lost 62lbs on my own eating properly and I hit the gym 7 days per week in 16 months. Watching your channel has been A GAME CHANGER! I have stepped it up 100% and I feel amazing, which I was already feeling fantastic since my weight loss. You’re amazing! Your wife is supportive and great. Your baby looks so healthy and beautiful!

[@junenakada7330]

Being an ex-florist, I would change your steps just slightly, cut the parsley last just before you put it in water. The stems will be more receptive to the water as it will not be exposed to the oxygen in the air to long.

Kale stalks are fine, just not raw in salad. Before kale became an “it” thing, Southerners ate it and other greens all the time. We braise them, which tenderizes the stalks. Also, Southern cooking is about using every part of an ingredient, so you use some stalk in your braised kale.

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.

Hey Bobbie! Before your herbs go bad try drying them in the microwave. Microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds depending on the herb. Works great and fast. Microwave on paper towels only not parchment paper. No waste!
