How it works: Food pantries and people who need food support cannot choose the food they receive from pantry banks (funded by the state or federal government). They can ask but usually have to take what they are given.
Sarah and I are conducting an experiment to determine whether she can find inexpensive, healthy foods and whether we can send some to her. Research below: (I love research.)
Today, two items requested by Sarah, Canned Potatoes, Green Split Peas.
This dramatically upgrades the food on the shelves and the food the families get to eat. Without us, they can rarely, if ever, get the best quality food, even though their food is always healthy.
The pantry never offers unhealthy food but can’t buy two first-rate family foods like green split peas and canned potatoes. When we can, we try to fill the gap.
Your support has made an enormous difference.
Del Monte Fresh Cut Diced Canned Potatoes, 12 Pack, 14.5 Oz Can, $19.08.
Gefen Green Split Peas, 16 Oz (3 Pack), Great in Salads, Soups, and Stews/Certified Kosher., $12.99.
My Research:
Green split peas are healthy because they are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and minerals. They can help prevent chronic diseases and support overall health.
