Featuring the FruitFromWashington Calorie Counter Database Search
We are all familiar with the two sides of the calorie coin. On the one side is the number of calories you burn during various activities. For instance: sedentary activities such as reading, doing homework, watching tv average 80 to 100 calories per hour. Light activities such as office work, food prep or washing dishes fall in the range of 110 to 160 calories per hour. Moderate walking is in the 170 to 240 calorie per hour range while vigorous walking, bowling, golfing or gardening burn 250 to 350 calories per hour. Strenuous activities such as swimming, tennis, running, and biking can burn up 350 calories or more per hour.

The flip side of the calorie coin is the number of calories contained in the food we eat. When you wonder how many calories there are in your favorite candy bar or cereal, thanks to the United States Department of Agriculture nutrient database, we can help you find the answer. FruitFromWashington.com's free calorie counter program lets you query the USDA's huge database in just a jiffy. Jiffy™ brand peanut butter, now I wonder how many calories there are in a serving of that? (Calorie burn counts from Cooking by the Calendar by Marilyn Hansen).

Red D'Anjou Pears Gift BoxRed d'Anjou Dessert Pear is our featured fruit of the month for April Subscription Orders!
This winter dessert pear is medium to large sized, it is highly colored with a dark red hue, sweet and richly flavored when ripe. Excellent with chocolate... Even without a fruit subscription, Red d'Anjou pears make an excellent gift.

"The Red d'Anjou pears are so good. I've been ordering a box every 2 weeks for the last couple months. Everyone loves them." (KE)
