I don’t know How to eat a Mango
Filed Under Health Issue, diet, food, fruit, news, recipe | 1 Comment
Mangoes are a fantastic source of Vitamin C and E, as well as niacin, iron, potassium and beta carotene (which once the body processes it turns into Vitamin A.) Still considered exotic fruit to many Americans, mangoes have not grown in popularity due to their bad reputation as hard to eat. But truthfully, with a little work, you will be well rewarded. Here are tips on how to eat a mango! So, lets read and learn more method how to eat Mango.
Step1
Select your mango. There are some guidelines to tell if a mango is ripe and ready to eat. The first thing to look for is color. Mangoes are shipped when they aren’t quite ripe. So when picking through them at the grocery store, look for a yellowish orange skin you, or even a orangish red color. Next press your finger against the skin of the fruit. It should be slightly soft to the touch. Much like an avocado, if it is hard, it is not ready to eat. Once you find a mango that meets these criteria, select it, as they are ready!
Step2
Wash the fruit. It’s always a good idea to wash the fruit prior to consumption. Even though you will not really be eating the skin, bacteria and other matter can be transferred to your hands. Pat the mango dry with a paper towel.
Step3
Slice the fruit. Using a serrated knife, slice vertically down the fruit on either side of the pit. (Mangoes can be quite sticky, hopefully this manner of cutting will avoid some of the mess.)
Step4
Utilize a pairing knife. Then using a pairing knife, slice the meat of the mango away from the skin and dice into edible portions, or however you desire to eat it. Congratulations, you have just learned how to eat a mango!

What are Nutricines?
Filed Under Health Issue, diet, food, news, recipe | 1 Comment
On Thursday a friend, who was visiting us from Bangkok, Thailand, and I drove up to the Q-8 petrol (filling) station near our residence to pick up my order. The vegetables came in a nice tidy box, my order was attached, I showed my receipt for the DKr 64.- I had paid and was handed the box. I drove home very curious about what my purchase would reveal.
The vegetables were fresh, looked healthy and interesting. I was pleased. I then proceeded to plan my menu for the visitors we were expecting from Antwerp, Belgium. Cliff Adams and his wife were attending a conference in Copenhagen and would have an evening free to spend with us. So, in true European style, dinner at our house. I was a little nervous, because what do you prepare for a man who is the Scientific Director for one of Europe’s leading feed additive manufacturers based in Belgium. Fortunately, we know Cliff on a personal level, and however knowledgeable he is in the sciences, it always gave me great pleasure when I could beat him on the tennis court In Antwerp, Belgium, where we lived for several years.
Although I am not an expert cook, I do enjoy cooking and have made it not just a challenge, but view a dinner and a table setting as a creation - an art form. It has always given me great pleasure when I can serve a meal which people enjoy and which is the basis of an enjoyable evening. So, while my food was perhaps not the most exotic, it was nourishing and, hopefully, satisfying. During the course of dinner I mentioned that I was serving Organic Vegetables. This led to the topic of Nutricines - a completely unfamiliar term to me and doubtlessly to many of you.
Cliff Adams explained to me that Nutricines are components of food which are considered for their beneficial effect upon health rather than a direct contribution to nutrition. Examples of important nutricines include antioxidants, non-digestible carbohydrates, natural acids, enzymes and lecithins. These all play different, but important roles, in delaying the onset of diseases, controlling microbic spoilage of food, improving the digestion of food and helping the absorption of nutrients from the gastro- intestinal tract which enable growth and development of the body.
Nutricines provide the crucial link between health and nutrition. Cliff Adams has written a book in which he introduces this wholly new concept in food components. Dr. Adams, based on years of research, describes the nature and mode of action of nutricines and highlights their significance in disease avoidance and health maintenance. In his view, food should now be seen as being made up of two groups of components: nutrients and nutricines.

What you can cook with Aspragus?
Filed Under Crazy News, diet, food, news, recipe | 6 Comments
Things You’ll Need for this recipe:
* asparagus spears
* olive oil
* salt & pepper
* grated Paresan cheese (fresh)
* large-ish skillet
Step1
Rinse asparagus spears under cool water. As you do, snap them near their base. Wherever they naturally break will give you the most tender remainder for your dish.
Step2
Place in large-ish skillet with olive oil (just a thin layer), pre-heated. Salt and pepper generously. Place lid on top of pan. Turn occasionally for 5-12 minutes, depending on how tender you want them to be.
Step3
Add grated Parmesan cheese and keep covered for 10 minutes. Serve immediate. This method of preparation blows away those that require special containers and steaming or boiling techniques, both in terms of preparation and in terms of taste. Bon appetit!
Ps: SO, you already have your dinner recipe today right? I believe you husband will really like it right?

What is Meaning of Organic Food to you?
Filed Under Crazy News, Health Issue, diet, food | 1 Comment
Organic certification is a process claim, not a product claim. In other words, organic standards regulate the practices and materials used to produce an agricultural product. It does not make any claims about the end product such as nutritional value or food safety (these claims are regulated by the Food Safety and Inspection Service and Food and Drug Administration). However, organic producers have to follow the same strict guidelines at the local, state and federal level that all conventional food producers must
follow.
Organic food production promotes biodiversity, biological cycles and biological activity. Organic farmers aim to manage food production as an integrated, whole system that is, as Fred Kirschenmann, former NOSB Livestock Chair describes, an “organism” whose individual parts mesh together into one whole production system. For example, in livestock production, the organic farmer relies on biological processes to integrate the management of individual parts including nutrient inputs, the animals themselves, the environment in which they live and the waste that is produced. These individual parts are connected, each component depending on every other component. When these parts are balanced within the production system, the system can be considered sustainable-one of the goals of organic production.
