Iskash*taa Fruit Frolickers Food Products
Current food products: mesquite flour, preserved lemons, jellies & marmalades, flavored vinegars
Iskash*taa staff, volunteers and refugees harvest more than 40,000 pounds of fruitsand vegetables a year from backyards, gardens and farms in Tucson and the surroundingarea. Most of this produce is redistributed throughout the refugee community and toTucson organinzations that feed the hungry. However, we do use some of the gleanedfoods to make yummy products to sell to the largerTucson community. We do this not only as afundraiser, but also to teach refugees about kitchensafety, sanitation, and food production. We alwayshave a lot of fun in the kitchen and often learn newrecipes from our refugee friends. We at Iskash*taaalso believe that it is important not to waste thelocal food resources that are at our fingertips. Whynot try some local goodies rather than buy food thatcomes from thousands of miles away?All of our delicious food products are prepared and packaged in a commerical kitchen.
