This year we are pleased to introduce you to Keith Holland, our Maine blogger. Over the coming months, Keith will be giving us a front row seat to his adventures.

Everybody likes a root vegetable now and then, but did you know that root vegetables can be an incredible source of vitamins and anti-oxidants.  Read on to discover the amazing benefits of five of the most power packed vegetables on the planet!  We love all five!

Over the years, horse owners have shared with us that our dried cabbage helped their horses recover from ulcers. We recently heard one such story that really touched our hearts...

Legumes, which include beans and peas, are some of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Dehydrated beans and peas are great sources of protein and fiber and they are rich in a number of essential micronutrients, including potassium, magnesium, folate, iron, and zinc.

As dehydrated food experts, the Harmony House team knows the secrets to storing dried vegetables. We are happy to share our knowledge with you!

You won’t find sulfur dioxide on the labels of any Harmony House dried fruits. It is true that the chemical preservative sulfur dioxide is often added to dried fruit sold by some other companies. But Harmony House never has and never will use sulfur dioxide or any other sulfuring agents on our fruit. If you are wondering why, or have questions about sulfites in general, we have answers for you.

Dale Sanders, better known as Grey Beard, is well on his way to becoming the oldest person ever to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (he’ll be 82 when he finishes the trail in September or October). Harmony House Foods is proud to be sponsoring Dale on his trip and we invited him to visit us at our headquarters in Franklin, North Carolina, when he passed through on the AT.

If you have a thermos and some dehydrated veggies, beans, or other favorite dried ingredients on hand, you can cook a delicious, healthy, hot meal—whether you are on the trail in the backcountry or making a healthy and nutritious lunch for work. For thermos cooking, all you need is boiling water!

At Harmony House, we find that when the winter blues are getting us down, there is nothing better than a bowl of hot and delicious vegetarian chili to cheer us up. We love veggie chili so much that we created three unique, delicious recipes for our customers using our premium quality dried beans and vegetables (though, you could count them as six because we offer a seasoned and unseasoned version of each)!
