Avocado kept fresh
I recently found an easy way to store half / part of an avocado from turning brown .
Simply cover it in plastic wrap ( in a nicely sealed air tight manner ) and place in the fridge.

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Also storing it with the pit and in lemon juice also works! #kitchentips

Yfalkson Pretty sure I heard the pit part is actually a myth. I think Kenji Lopez from The Foodlab tested it
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Really?! Oof I'll give it a try sans the lemon juice. I always use both and it seems to work, but a true scientist would say only test one variable at a time :)
Picked up dried mulberries the other day here in Vancouver. What to do with them! I have some ideas, but welcome more suggestions!

sugardetoxme I'd love to know what to do with mulberries. Maybe a homemade granola?
-
SimplySeema Love mulberries! I love adding the fresh ones into homemade raw chocolate. It's a delicious sweet surprise. Imagine it would be great mixed in with nuts, cereal or even cookies! What are your ideas...
-
JenniferEmilson I've only ever had them fresh. These have a slight crunch, like figs. I'll either use for granola or porridge topping, or else I'll reconstitute them in safer for baking.

SimplySeema Yum! Sounds delicious. Have you used Turmeric before? It's a spice that may help prevent cold/flu and so colorful.

SimplySeema @LesleyRozycki it's great and won't disappoint. Be careful though to avoid getting it on your clothes bc it stains everything yellow.
