sun dried tomatoes and organic produce

I thought I’d kill two birds with one post :)

First, Sun Dried Tomatoes. Where can I find these raw? Any brands to look for? They’re really great in a salad I make, but the ones I find say in the ingredients “100% sun dried tomatoes, prepared with sulfur dioxide to retain color”. Is this typical for sun dried tomatoes? Or do I have to make my own?

Also… organic produce! I work at a supermarket, and basically we’re the only chain around that actually sells a decent amount of organic produce. But this decent amount is barely a large selection. Apples, Pears, Bananas, Carrots, Spinach, Spring Mix, Portabella, Ginger Root, and thats about it.

There IS a natural food supermarket an hour away where everything is organic, and they have a wide selection, even some things you wouldn’t find anything else (I had never seen purple asparagus before). But like I said… its an hour away, and the price of gas isn’t going down.

Is eating all organic a problem for many of you?
