When You Eat Turkish Dried Figs (Video)

Discover uncommon benefits of Turkish Dried Figs and see what happens when you eat them.
BATA FOOD supply this “natural chocolate” worldwide and strongly recommend you to taste one of them!

This video is unfortunately in Turkish, but shortly, I can tell you that it is about a farmer who kindly requests from a strange driver to drive him to his village.
Driver says that he can drive farmer only if farmer give all of the figs in the basket  to him. Farmer says that it is too much for that, do not accept that request, and the story begins…

Enjoy!

Natural Resources Are Vanishing

 Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO) declared that %25 of worlds total agricultural fields quality is fall down hard due to erosion, poor irrigation, over irrigation and salinization and decrease of biodiversity.

According to FAO, if world population reaches 9 billion on 2050 as expected, agricultural production should be increased over %70 to fulfill needs.

Improved watering, erosion prevention techniques should be applied, also organic program and ecological methods should be applied to increase yield.

All kind of food stuff even machinery suppliers are waiting for you with amazing options (next fair will be on 2013, which is two years later). ANUGA is a huge place for networking and finding new ways to grow your business, even if you visit or attend.

Also with this reason, you will be able to explore great Cologne city with good historical places (Köln-Dome is my favorite place).
Unlike Paris (SIAL 2010 Fair Reviews), public transportation options are very comfortable and easy for tourists. One of the best part is, if you are exhibitor or visitor to ANUGA, all public transport vehicles are completely FREE during fair date.

Play Organic with GMO Busters!

 In today’s world, GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms) are one of the biggest food frauds. Overuse of additives and preservatives on food products are really threatening our lives and future of our kids.

As we always support additive / preservative free, natural and organic food consuming, some people makes their best by introducing a game for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch named GMO BUSTERS. Read more >>

Is Consuming Organic Products Expensive?

Well, most of us hear about a lot consuming organic products almost everywhere.

We heard a lot why eating organic is better for our health and how one can do  a favour him/herself by trying to consume more organic products.

There is actually one main question on that point:

Do we need to be a rich person to eat and consume organic product

Well, it may seem that consuming organic is expensive without thinking about this point too much.

Important point is to keep on one’s mind is to chose a life style by consuming organic.

Then, we can start to consider how big expense gap will occur when we compare our standard product consuming expenses and organic ones.

There will be definitely some methods which suit anybody If decided to consume organic products.

For example, you can try to look at the case for long term evaluation by considering potential harm you will get because of not preferring to use organic products.

When you somehow lose your health, you have to spend money to recover it anyway.

You can also think that you can start consuming organic products somewhere by choosing a few products.

Then you can control your budget better.

While you are choosing what organic products you will be starting, you can consider consuming habits of your family.

How much chemicals or pesticides potentially effected the product point of view can also be  another criteria for your decision to chose which organic products.

Examples can be variable.

Let us think about it….

Wish you all healthy days.

Time of Organic Products

Consuming organic products is one of the major ways to improve one’s life quality with its high nutrition content.

It is pity to know that pesticides fact is directly related to food eaten.

If you think about the foods you eat in every day routine, that will be easier to understand how we treat to our bodies.

The good thing is there is always a chance to change eating habits.

Starting to consume organic products will be definitely a good step for healthier life.

It may seem a bit more expensive to spend for organic products but the benefits of this is almost priceless.

There is also an increasing trend for organic production and consuming.

Farmers also started to consider organic growing because the demands for organic crop is getting higher.

Do not you think that maybe it is the high time to started for organic consumption habits ???

Organic Products and Health

Healthy feeding is getting more and more important nowadays.

People think that consuming organic product may keep them away pesticides which may come through some foods.

Let us consider following points:

There are lots of toxins which is no good for our health and during the organic production process, there is always strict controls.

Organic food can not be certified as organic by authourised bodies If the production process is not followed to the necessary things to do such as;

• Using hormons is not allowed,
• The ground for organic production must be cleaned from chemicals and pesticides and this process may take to three years depends on the ground current situation.

There are also some criterias to follow for the usage of fertilizer.

It is clearly to see something from above:

If we stop polluting the world and using the chemicals, we may have a chance to produce naturally organic or near to organic quality products…

 

Let us think about it.

Natural foods as they are used to be in the past many many decades ago…..
