Whether you need a vegan alternative or you do not have eggs on hand, these egg substitutes can help stabilize your baked good. • I have tried flaxseeds, applesauce, and banana in various items with success, but note that these substitutes will affect the taste and texture of the end product. • It's good to have options! • Eat Well, Live Well
The numbered stickers on your produce are called PLU ("price look-up") codes and they are used to identify produce. If you see a 4 digit number beginning with a "3" or "4" that means that the produce was conventionally grown (fertilizers, pesticides, etc were likely used to encourage things like pest or weather resistance, out of season growth and higher yields). Stickers that have 5 digits and that begin with a "9" represent organic produce (95% - or more- free of synthetic chemical or additive and cannot be GMO engineered). Eat Well, Live Well.
