Eden Teva: Organic Vegetables on Sale!

Eden Teva's got an online sale right now - and I would place an order, but they don't deliver to the Golan. So I'll just share the info with all you!

Chicken that hasn't been treated with antibiotics: 4 kg for 100 shekels - this includes chicken parts, not just whole chickens!

Organic Vegetables for 6.99 shekels/kg (limit 2 kg per type, except tomatoes - limit 1 kg): tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, onions, kishuim (light green summer squash), potatoes, and avocado!

Oh, and right now you can join their "moadon" (loyalty club) and get moadon members-only sales, for just 10 shekels per year!

Let me know if you're ordering!

Organic fruits and vegetables for 5.99/kg

Eden Teva has a special for Moadon members - today thru Friday, a variety of organic fruits and vegetables for 5.99/kg! They are now offering a Moadon membership for 10 shekel/yr (I seem to remember it costing much more, which is why I had not ever joined).

Included in this sale: Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Red/Yellow Peppers, Cabbage, Kohlrabi (white or purple), Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Beets, Watermelon, Mini-watermelon, Pomelit, Onions, and Tomatoes.

Sale price is available in-store AND online, but not in Eden-Mega stores.

Not sure if I'll be ordering, but I figured some of you would want to give it a try!

Happy saving, and healthy eating!

Affordable organic veggies!

Just wanted to let all of you, my readers in Israel, know about this great deal - too good to pass up - from Eden Teva Market online this week!
(I don't get any commission from them, just announcing this as a public service)

That's right! Organic tomatoes for 2.99/kg! And also other vegetables, including:

Organic Cucumbers
Organic Potatoes
Organic Carrots

If you live in their delivery area, this may be a great week to place order!

Here's the fine print I found: Minimum order is 150 shekels, not including delivery charges. Limit of 3 kg per sale item. Sale prices valid thru March 5, 2013.

Organic Produce Sale at Eden Teva Online

Eden Teva Market Online has a new organic vegetable promotion going on. This one is not quite as awesome as their 5 shekel sale - it's 5.90/kg, so still pretty good! I believe the selection on sale varies slightly by region.
Sale ends November 30, 2012

When I checked what's included in the 5.90 sale, it showed me the following:


Tomatoes
Cucumbers
White Cabbage
Hot peppers (by the package, not per kilo)
Eggplant
Onions
Potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Butternut Squash
Beets
Red Peppers
Cherry Tomatoes
Carrots

Don't forget to check the list of "clean" and "dirty" produce to help you decide what's worth buying organic!

They deliver to many areas - delivery area seems to be expanding all the time. And if you don't see your town on the list, try calling or creating an account, they deliver to my town even though it is not on the list... maybe yours too!

Min. order for delivery is 150 shekel, and there is a delivery fee of 29 shekels, I believe.

Seeds

Someone was asking where to buy vegetable seeds to start a little garden here in Israel.

I'm all for gardening, if it won't be wasted effort and water - I know I have rarely had success growing things because I am just not dedicated enough to my plants! Something to work on when my kids are a little older and independent, I think.

Anyhow, I was searching for a good place for her to buy some interesting seeds, when I stumbled across a company advertising seeds. They (א.ב. זרעים) are selling Monsanto seeds - a whole variety of them. Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, melons, and more. In other words, Monsanto is marketing seeds for vegetable varieties used ALL THE TIME in Israeli cuisine.

This is very troubling to me. I don't think that the answer to the world's food crisis lies in GMO food. Recent studies show that since the introduction of Round-Up ready Corn (Monsanto's corn), the use of Round-up increased by 11%. Round up is a chemical herbicide which causes environmental damage to fragile eco-systems.

You can read more about it, and get a better idea of what is going on with Round-up and GMO seeds... 

And you can buy seeds from other sources - Eden Seeds, Organi-Grow, and My Garden.

Will you be growing your own vegetables?

Does this concern you?
