Award Received for Consumer-Focused Booklet

May 20, 2010
Postharvest Technology Center members James Thompson and Adel Kader recently received notice that they had been selected to receive a 2010 Educational Aids Blue Ribbon Award for their colorful consumer focused handbook "From the Farm to Your Table:  A Consumer's Guide to Fresh Fruits & Vegetables". 

This 16 page booklet offers information that will help consumers pick good-quality, healthy fruits and vegetables that are a vital part of one's daily diet.  Information on how to handle those fresh fruits and vegetables once you get them home, and also how growing and harvesting factors affect quality is also included.  There are tables that show the number of steps between the field and your table, and also show which items should be stored in the refrigerator and which should be stored on the counter.

The UC Davis Postharvest Technology Center is pleased to offer these publications for sale at $7/copy, with a special volume discount available for 10 or more copies.
