Fruit growers
meeting Monday
The Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers West Hawaii chapter will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at the University of Hawaii Experiment Station in Kainaliu, across from Aloha Theatre. Nonmembers are welcome to attend.
Ray Anders will speak about High Pressure Processing. This technology is used to ship avocado halves from Mexico to the mainland U.S. This process is not subject to APHIS regulations and product can be shipped to the mainland following FDA guidelines. The process destroys food-borne pathogens, retards spoilage and can be used to package guacamole and other items made from locally grown fruit that could not be shipped otherwise.
Bring fruit for sampling.
For more information, contact West Hawaii Chapter President Brian Lievens at 895-8753 or greenwizard@hawaii.rr.com or Executive Director Ken Love at 323-2417 or kenlove@hawaiiantel.net.
