I've yet to hear about organic strawberries doing the same. —Anna A Living Coral Reef A few nights before we leave Madison, we're invited to dinner by chef Odessa Piper, Madison's queen of natural, locally grown cuisine. As founder and co-chef of L'Etoile, one of Madison's classiest restaurants, she's been connecting the work of businesspeople like Bob and farmers like the Kinsmans, the Sharps, and the Perkinses with folks in Madison for twenty-five years.

Instead, driving a tiny rental carthrough Poland's country roads, I find families harvesting hay, boys selling baskets of strawberries, and kids picking flowers in golden fields. Visiting small farms that dot this landscape, I meet farmer after farmer living off the land and tending it without chemicals. I came to Poland to learn about the network created by Jadwiga Lopata to preserve the Polish countryside and help the smalt farmers, whose families have been here for centuries, to become certified organic.

It's good to know that when I buy union strawberries I'm not encouraging the slow killing of a farmworker from pesticide exposure. Now, when I shop, I walk through aisles differently. When I buy fair-trade coffee, I picture Mumo in Kyaume, Kenya, and Rosario's family in Nicaragua. When I buy locally made cheese, I picture Bob in Plain, Wisconsin (you'll soon meet him, too). My choices as a consumer used to feel so small, but now I'm convinced they have real power. Together we are a sleeping giant and, awakened, we can really stir things up.

Personally, I can't imagine anyone already willing to pay a few dollars for a pint of strawberries who wouldn't pay five cents more. The challenge isn't getting Americans to be more generous, more caring. It's about creating opportunities for people to express their sense of fairness by letting them know the real impact of their purchasing power. Ultimately, it's about getting consumers to mount enough pressure so corporations see there's no choice: If they want our business, they must pay decent, living wages. In the process, we as a society create new norms of what is acceptable.

Mike couldn't fathom, at first, how the problems he was having could be related to something as simple as a food allergy. After all, he had been seeing top-notch medical doctors in New York city and none of them had suggested this as a possibility. Instead he decided to consult with yet another medical specialist shortly after we left.

One occurred at the University of California, Berkeley, where agricultural experts had been looking at ways to prevent frost damage on crops such as strawberries and tomatoes. Most fruits are damaged or destroyed by frost as ice forms on their surfaces. However, ice forms more readily on a regular surface. The bacteria that live naturally on the surface of fruits generally allow ice formation. So the Berkeley researchers wondered if they could find and deactivate the gene in a bacterium responsible for allowing ice to form on delicate fruits and berries.

Still another alternative is to include both a modest amount of vitamin C (25 to 75 milligrams) and a very small amount of meat (1 to 3 ounces). A third factor also possibly gives iron absorption a boost, but nutritionists are reserving judgment until more studies are done. This is the acid factor.

This is approximately seventy-two million pounds, or 34% of the total reported pesticide use. strawberries and grapes were the two most heavily pesticided crops. strawberries received about three hundred pounds of active pesticides per acre, and grapes received a total of fifty-nine million pounds of pesticides in 1995. A report by Californians for Pesticide Reform (CPR) shows that 87% of the forty-six California school districts surveyed used highly toxic pesticides in their routine building and lawn maintenance. These forty-six districts serve one and one-half million children.

Depending upon the kind of ice cream I'm making, I may use organic vanilla beans, organic strawberries or blueberries, organic chocolate, organic nuts like walnuts, and maybe a pinch of organic sea salt. That's it. One of my favorite ice creams is maple-walnut, and it is also the simplest. I simply follow the recipe and use the milk and cream, a pinch of organic sea salt, organic maple syrup, and some crushed-up organic walnuts. When people eat this they all say it is the best ice cream they have ever eaten. Well, not only is it the best tasting, but it is also the healthiest.

Grapefruits, apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, plums, peaches, and apricots. Make sure the fruits are fresh and not dried. As always, make sure they are organic. Stay away from bananas as they have a tendency to make you gain weight. If you must have milk with your breakfast, make sure it is organic and ideally, raw milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. Here are some common breakfasts that I eat: 1. Scrambled eggs with a side of smoked salmon, or lamb chops, or sardines, or a small steak. I make my scrambled eggs various ways.

Aggregate (several carpels of one gynaecium are united in one fruit, as in raspberries and strawberries). • Multiple (gynaecia of more than one flower form the fruit). Drugs Although the flowers are of great botanical importance, they are only a minor source of drugs used in phytotherapy or pharmacy. A very important example is: • Chamomile, Matricaria recutita L. (Matricariase flos). Other examples include: • Calendula, Calendula officinalis L. (Calendulae flos). • Arnica, Arnica montana L. (Arnicae flos). • Hops. Humulus lupulus L. (Humuli flos).

According to research at the Indiana University School of Medicine, ellagic acid in strawberries and raspberries protects healthy cells from developing into cancer cells.68 Ellagic acid also protects you from another common carcinogen, anatoxin.69 This is found in low levels in a number of foods, including peanuts. Genistein: Abundant in soybeans, this substance, a type of phytoestrogen (see below), prevents breast, prostate, and other lumps from growing and spreading. Research is beginning to focus on two isoflavonoids—genistein and daidzein.

All berries, but especially strawberries, are good sources of the anticancer compound ellagic acid. They are among the highest organic sodium fruits and thus are eliminative and good for the intestinal tract; however, the seeds can be irritating where there is colitis or inflammation of the bowel. Their considerable vitamin properties are mostly lost during cooking, so that although strawberry jelly, jams, and preserves may taste good, they have only a fraction of their original natural vitamins. The addition of sugar renders them acidic and detrimental to the body.

Ellagic acid A phytochemical phenol found in grapes, cherries, and strawberries. One of ellagic acid's primary actions is to protect against damage to our chromosomes and to block the cancer-causing actions of many pollutants. Ellagic acid is a potent antioxidant and has shown an ability to increase many of the body's antioxidant compounds. Emetic An agent that causes or promotes vomiting. Emmenagogue A substance that promotes the onset of menstruation. Some emmenagogues are so strong that they have been used to induce abortion.

Botanically, fruits fall into four categories: aggregate fruits, such as bananas and dates, which grow in clusters; berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, which have many seeds throughout; drupes, such as peaches and plums, which contain a single stone or pit; and pomes, such as apples and pears, which contain cores and small seeds.

Reminding some people of a cross between strawberries and bananas, the flesh is tart-sweet and slightly crisp-textured. Their hairy skin is inedible and must be removed before eating. Kiwis can be eaten on their own, sliced and added to salads, desserts, cakes, and jams, or used as an attractive garnish. Like pineapple and papaya, kiwi contains an enzyme that tenderizes meat. It also curdles milk (but not heavy cream) and interferes with the action of gelatin. If you want to add kiwi fruit to gelatin, you should first briefly cook the fruit, which deactivates the actinidin enzyme.

Culinary Uses At their best, strawberries have a musky aroma and are sweet but acid, almost pineapple-like, in flavor. Fruits of the alpine strawberry have an intense, wild strawberry flavor, while the musk strawberry tastes like a combination of strawberry, raspberry, and pineapple. Wash them just before using, if at all, and remove the stems and hulls. An American favorite is strawberry shortcake, but the berries also appear on Belgian waffles, in jams and jellies, and as an adornment for various dishes.

For example, strawberries are eaten, and an individual breaks out in hives. This is a Type 1 or fixed allergic response because it occurs each time strawberries are eaten. Other food allergies are more difficult to diagnose as symptoms do not usually appear right after eating the offending substance, but rather hours or days later. Also, reactions may change with age, season, stress, and a host of other factors. Further, they can move from one organ system to another.
