From Collegiate Presswire's RadioWire (https://www.cpwire.com/radio): Radio You don�t have to live on a farm to eat farm-fresh produce. City dwellers like cookbook author Deborah Madison rely on local farmers markets for affordable, freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Madison�s new book, �Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating From America�s Farmer�s Markets,� celebrates the markets and their abundance:
�Now is when farmer�s markets are filled with the foods we love most, there�s sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans, peppers and chilies, juicy peaches. The only question is, what to do with it all? You don�t want a bite of such wonderful food to spoil or go to waste.�
One solution is home vacuum packing. Appliances like the Foodsaver vacuum packaging machine remove air from patented bags and containers and store food air-tight so it stays fresh three to five times longer. And unlike recloseable plastic bags, vacuum packaging prevents freezer burn. For instructions on vacuum packing a variety of fruits and vegetables visit w-w-w-dot-foodsaver-dot-com.
