ʻO ke kūpono, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kākou a pau inā e ʻai mau kākou i nā mea kanu hou a organik i ka wā e oʻo ai, i ka wā e kiʻekiʻe loa ai ko lākou pae meaʻai. Hiki paha kēlā i ka wā ʻohiʻohi inā ʻoe e ulu i kāu mau mea kanu ponoʻī a noho kokoke paha i kahi kūʻai mahiʻai e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea kanu hou o ke kau, akā pono ka hapa nui o kākou e hana i nā kuʻikahi. He koho maikaʻi nā mea kanu paʻahau a ʻoi aku paha ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā mea kanu hou o ke kau i kūʻai ʻia ma nā hale kūʻai nui.
I kekahi mau hihia, ʻoi aku ka momona o nā mea kanu hau ma mua o nā mea hou i hoʻouna ʻia ma nā wahi mamao. ʻO ka mea hope loa e ʻohi ʻia ma mua o ka pala ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoiai ke ʻano maikaʻi o nā mea kanu, e emi ana paha kāu meaʻai. No ka laʻana, nalowale ka spinach hou ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka folate i loko ma hope o ʻewalu lā. E emi ana hoʻi ka nui o ka huaora a me ka mineral inā hōʻike ʻia nā mea kanu i ka wela a me ka mālamalama nui ma ke ala e hele ai i kāu hale kūʻai nui.
Pili kēia i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu. ʻO ke ʻano o ka hapa nui o nā hua i kūʻai ʻia ma nā hale kūʻai kūʻai liʻiliʻi ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa he maʻamau. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻaʻole ia i pala, ʻohi ʻia i kahi kūlana e kūpono ai i nā mea hoʻouna a me nā mea hoʻolaha akā ʻaʻole i nā mea kūʻai. ʻOi aku ka ʻino, ʻo nā ʻano hua i koho ʻia no ka hana nui ʻana he mau mea ia e nānā maikaʻi wale ana ma mua o ka ʻono maikaʻi. Mālama au i nā ʻeke o nā hua hau, ulu organik ma ka lima i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa - inā hoʻoheheʻe iki ʻia, hana lākou i kahi mea ʻono maikaʻi.
ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ʻo ia ka ʻohi pinepine ʻia ʻana i ka wā e pala ai, a laila hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia i loko o ka wai wela e pepehi i ka bacteria a hoʻōki i ka hana enzyme e hiki ke hōʻino i ka meaʻai. A laila hoʻopaʻa koke ʻia lākou, kahi e mālama ai i nā meaʻai. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai, kūʻai i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka USDA "US Fancy," ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa a ʻo ia ka mea e hāʻawi nui i nā meaʻai. Ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma mua o nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka mea ʻo ke kaʻina hana canning e hopena i ka nalowale o nā meaʻai. (ʻO nā ʻokoʻa e komo pū me nā tōmato a me ka paukena.) I ke kūʻai ʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, e pale aku i nā mea i ʻoki ʻia, ʻili ʻia a kuʻi ʻia paha; ʻaʻole lākou e momona nui.
