Canning isn't the only way to preserve fruits and vegetables!

🍓Dried fruit can be eaten as snacks as-is or reconstituted for use in pies and other recipes. To reconstitute, place fruit in a pan and cover with boiling water; simmer covered until tender (about 15 minutes).

🥕Dried vegetables can be used in soups, dips, stews and sauces. When reconstituted, 1 cup of dried vegetables becomes 2 cups.

Properly stored, dried fruits or vegetables keep well for six to 12 months. Discard all foods that develop off-odors or flavors or show signs of mold.

Most families use their monthly SNAP benefits within the first 2 weeks. Running out of benefits increases hospital visits and disciplinary issues in school.

SNAP-Ed, implemented in Wisconsin through FoodWIse, teaches families to stretch their food dollars and limit food waste so they have food throughout the entire month.

How? FoodWIse teaches SNAP participants the skills to prepare affordable, nutritious meals, like reading and using food labels to make decisions about purchases, planning meals, shopping with a grocery list, and comparing food prices to find the best value.

The result: FoodWIse participants across Wisconsin report healthier habits and stronger food skills after completing SNAP-Ed nutrition education.
FoodWIse, funded in part SNAP-Ed, delivers nutrition education that’s timely, budget-conscious, and rooted in Wisconsin communities. Learn more at go.wisc.edu/SNAP-Ed-Works
