If I put them in the fridge, they don't sprout. I hear that's not a good way to store potatoes as the starch turns to sugar quicker, but I don't use them quickly enough to keep them elsewhere! Katie, if I leave my potatoes out–in a closet, on the floor, on the counter–they’ll sprout every time often within a week. If I put them in the fridge, they don’t sprout.

I hear that’s not a good way to store potatoes as the starch turns to sugar quicker, but I don’t use them quickly enough to keep them elsewhere!

Are we talking about mass produced grocery store bread or bread made from soaked grain/flour? I am still a little unclear about the choice of white over wheat.

I will have to price check Eden in this area. Knowing that canning tomatoes is now "worth it" will make the time more "worth it", but I just love the swap idea as something to keep in mind for lots of things! Thank you so much for popping in! :) Katie Erin,

Was it just the Europeans fault? Should we just really cut our flour consumption and we'll be ok? Very curious to hear more on this topic and what your conversations were about! Also, I tried the skim milk with raw cream added back in the yogurt...I need to go try it! I guess I do almost everything on the above list: I buy canned tomatoes but very rarely salmon. Merry Christmas to ya!

Not sure if they're cheaper than these, but their products are available at many grocery stores (including Kroger, I think) so you'd at least be able to avoid shipping. Another idea since you mentioned you hated canning the tomatoes yourself...find a friend who enjoys canning and swap for something homemade that you enjoy making. Like bread or yogurt. You'd have to figure out how many jars of tomatoes equals how many jars of yogurt, etc. but I think it would be a good trade. Eden Organics cans all of their products in BPA-free cans.
