Save money on the food you buy and avoid getting sick from contaminated food. This little sachet contains enough to make up 3 liters (nearly 100fl oz) of solution and considering that you'll only need about 300ml (10fl oz) per weekly shop, it will go a long way. Can you afford not to spend less than $1 per shop (maybe $200 of fresh food) to not only make it last longer and stay healthier to eat but to ensure your own and your family's health and safety from food poisoning?

Herbal-Active is made from naturally derived extracts of Australian food plants. Like hops in beer, this mixture is considered a flavor (and is labeled as such on products in which it is used). However, it is antimicrobial against a wide range of organisms and this makes it a functional food to keep your food safe to eat and save you some money as well. So how is it used?

I make up a solution of 2 teaspoonfuls of Herbal-Active in a liter of water. The disperses easily and completely and gives the water a pale green tinge and a clean aroma. I keep this in a bottle at room temperature and it lasts for many months although I use it before then.

What I do on returning home with the shopping is to pour a few hundred ml into a convenient bowl. Then I simply dip any fruits I have bought such as berries, cherries, oranges and kiwifruit. Melons, any cut fruits, even fresh pineapple which I might quickly peel and cut will get dipped. It's just a quick immersion, ensure the stalk area is well wet and place the fruit onto a paper towel to drip dry. There is no need to rinse. Store your dipped fruit, which is now bacteria and mold-free as normal. You'll find it lasts days, sometimes weeks longer but try to eat it in the shortest time possible since the nutrients in fruits start to fall as soon as the fruit is picked.

Next, in this water (occasionally I strain out the fruit bits like strawberry seeds and re-cycle the solution, pouring it back into my bowl) I dip vegetables like cucumbers, zucchini, cut pumpkin and any vegetables which get mould on them readily. I find that these vegetables no longer spoil in the crisper of my fridge so I know I'm saving dollars.

Then come the meats. I dip seafood (prawns, scallops, seafood marinara mix, fish fillets) followed by red meat and lastly chicken, dipping each to thoroughly wet the surface and any folds or flaps of the meat. I do it in this order since I know that any chicken you buy has a high count of Salmonella while the other protein is less likely to have high microbial loads.

In any case, none of the food gets rinsed - there's absolutely no need - after all, Herbal-Active is made from herbs and spice extracts and is totally safe itself. In fact, it is even an antioxidant and so any solution I consume can only be good for me.

If you are only interested in the money savings Herbal-Active delivers from extending the shelf life of the food you buy, try it. You'll also get piece of mind knowing that your food is safer to eat after dipping it than not.

Cosmetics

For use as an ingredient in skin care products, use the powdered form for aqueous formulations. Add the Herbal-Active at 1% of the final weight to the minor components and dissolve with a minimum of water. Add the remaining water to make up to the final weight.

For emulsion creams, ask for our olive oil based Herbal-Active in the comment line when going through the checkout. It is the same price per gram.
