Cooler weather calls for a warm, wholesome, and flavorful meal. When the days are short and the nights are long and cold, nothing is more comforting than a big bowl of nourishing stew. Healthy, hearty, homestyle! This warm, cozy, fragrant stew is one of our favorite meals to enjoy during weekdays. The beef stew is tender, rich and fragrant making it very hard to stop scooping up by the spoonful. The trick to getting extremely tender meat pieces is to cook the stew slow on low heat for a long time. 
It is not hard to get the perfect fork tender meat and vegetables pieces in every bite. The cooking just takes a little time. Just as everything in life requires time and patience to achieve perfection. Speaking of perfection, the process of achieving the soft smooth taste of FIJI water also takes time and care.
Fiji artesian water comes from a protected artesian aquifer found deep underground in the remote Fiji Islands, a naturally formed underground chamber consisting of layers of permeable volcanic rock. The water trickles down through the layers of volcanic rock over time and gathers minerals and electrolytes along the way that create FIJI’s signature soft, smooth taste. In a similar fashion, slow cooking the meat and vegetables brings out amazing flavors and scents as the ingredients tenderize and mingle in the stew.
