We are pleased to offer products that provide the health conscious individual with a host of cancer fighting ingredients from the antioxidants that neutralize the damage caused by free radicals to the powerful phytochemicals that scientists are just beginning to explore.  PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY OTHER TYPES OF FOODS (more than which are listed) ARE ALSO IMPORTANT TO YOUR OVERALL HEALTH AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO ASSIST IN FIGHTING CANCER!

 

Broccoli and cabbage contain a chemical component (indole-3-carbinol) that may assist in combating breast cancer by converting a cancer-promoting estrogen into a more protective variety.  Broccoli and spouts contain phytochemical sulforaphine, a product of glucoraphanin, believed to aid in preventing colon and rectal cancer.

Kale contains nitrogen compounds (indoles) that may help stop the conversion of certain lesions to cancerous cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.  The phytochemicals found in kale are thought to suppress tumor growth and block cancer-causing substances from reaching their targets.  

Watercress is a rich source of vitamins A, B and C.  It also contains two groups of compounds called phenylethyl isothiocyanates (PEITC) and methylsulphinylalkyl, that may work in tandem to attack cancer cells, inhibit activation of cancer triggers, and induce the body’s cells to resist cancer mopping up toxins. 

Tomatoes and watermelons are an excellent source of lycopene that may help prevent prostate cancer.

Chili peppers and jalapenos may help neutralize certain cancer causing substances and help prevent stomach cancer. 

Flax may help protect against colon cancer and heart disease. 

Red Grapes may inhibit the enzymes that can stimulate cancer-cell growth.
 

Mushrooms may help to build the immune system and may attack cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying. 

Nuts may help suppress the growth of cancers. 

Oranges and lemons may help stimulate cancer-killing immune cells and break down cancer-causing substances. 

Tofu (soy products) may provide a potent inhibitor to growth and spread of cancer cells, may lower the risk of breast cancer. 

Teas (green and black) appear to help prevent cancer cells from dividing.

USING OUR PRODUCTS

Storing Products

Most of the vegetables and fruits you receive have been picked within 24 hours, providing you with a higher quality product and longer life.  There are a few things you can do to ensure your products stay as fresh as possible. 

• Lettuce – Our “living” lettuce will stay fresh up to 3 weeks. Store lettuce in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator.  Either cut the lettuce and store in a sealed bag or keep as packaged.
  
  

	Our lettuce is germinated and grown in the oasis cube (attached to your lettuce).  The lettuce remains “living” as all the roots are attached.

• Herbs – Herbs are very sensitive and are best used within a week of cutting.  Some are best stored at room temperature while others will last longer if stored in the refrigerator.  You can also dry the herbs and store them for future use.
