VEGAN – For people without an oven, try heating the mix in the bowl in a pan without using pastry (your last step would be at 2:35 minutes). I swear is lovely like that as well! One of my favourite dishes ever =)

Nutritional Value of Corn: Lung Health

Consuming foods rich in beta-cryptoxanthin may significantly lower one’s risk of developing lung cancer. Beta-cryptoxanthin is an orange-red carotenoid that is found in corn, pumpkin, papaya, peppers, tangerines, oranges, and peaches. Foods rich in this nutrient are especially beneficial to smokers, giving them about a 37% lower risk of lung cancer.

Nutritional Value of Corn: Maintaining Memory

Corn nutritional value has an added effect in maintaining memory. Corn is a good source of thiamin, and provides almost 1/4 of the daily value in only one cup. Thiamin is important to enzymatic reactions and is essential for cognitive function. Thiamin is needed for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter needed for memory. Alzheimer’s disease is actually linked to a deficiency of thiamin. Be sure to keep corn and other thiamin-rich foods as a part of your healthy diet.

Using Corns Nutritional Value

Corn is a rich source of many essential nutrients. Corn is a low-fat complex carbohydrate that is an excellent addition to anyone’s healthy diet. Corn does have an excellent nutritional value. A diet including corn can go a long way in improving your health and decreasing your risk of getting many serious ailments.

Green beans
What’s New and Beneficial about Green Beans

Because of their rich green color, we don’t always think about green beans as providing us with important amounts of colorful pigments like carotenoids. But they do! Recent studies have confirmed the presence of lutein, beta-carotene, violaxanthin, and neoxanthin in green beans. In some cases, the presence of these carotenoids in green beans is comparable to their presence in other carotenoid-rich vegetables like carrots and tomatoes. The only reason we don’t see these carotenoids is because of the concentrated chlorophyll content of green beans and the amazing shades of green that it provides.

You can enjoy green beans while supporting food sustainability! Recent surveys have shown that 60% of all commercially grown green beans are produced in the United States, with large amounts of green bean acreage found in the states of Illinois, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Although countries like France, Mexico, Iraq, and Argentina are large-scale producers of green beans, there is plenty of this delicious vegetable available in our own backyard.

If you are unable to obtain fresh green beans, you can still get many valuable nutrients from green beans that have been frozen or canned. We like fresh greens the best! But we realize that access to them can sometimes be a problem. When first frozen and then cooked, retention of some B vitamins in green beans (like vitamins B6 and B2) can be as high as 90%. Recent studies have shown that canned green beans, on average, lose about one third of their phenolic compounds during the canning process. They lose B vitamins as well but in the case of some B vitamins like folic acid, as little as 10%.

Green beans (referred to as “string beans” by the study authors) have recently been shown to have impressive antioxidant capacity. Research comparing the overall antioxidant capacity of green beans to other foods in the pea and bean families (for example, snow peas or winged beans) has found green beans to come out on top, even though green beans are not always highest in their concentration of specific antioxidant nutrients like phenolic acids or vitamin C. It’s not surprising to find recent studies highlighting the antioxidant capacity of green beans! Researchers now know that the list of antioxidant flavonoids found in green beans is not limited to quercetin and kaemferol but also includes flavonoids like catechins, epicatechins, and procyanidins. Researchers also know that the antioxidant carotenoids in this vegetable are diverse, and include lutein, beta-carotene, violaxanthin, and neoxanthin, as noted above.
Green beans may be a particularly helpful food for providing us with the mineral silicon. This mineral — while less well known that minerals like calcium and magnesium — is very important for bone health and for healthy formation of connective tissue. Green beans have recently been shown to stack up quite well against other commonly-eaten foods as a good source of absorbable silicon.

This meal has basically four ingredients. It’s so simple that anyone can make it, and it’s tasty. You could add lots of vegetables and use less chicken for fewer calories. It’s also great with rice. For variation, chop the chicken up.

The holidays are here and it’s time to feast!
For vegans and vegetarians, we usually go straight for the awesome
vegan sides as our entree either consists of nothing,
some wheaty, fruity thing-a-ma-jig or a funky piece of tofu.
While some get creative and cook up a delicious wellington, some folks miss
the simplicity of the main event and Vegetarian Plus
has knocked it out of the park with the first whole vegan turkey
with gravy and stuffing, full meal holiday dinner!

Serving 8-10 people, it’s delicious, juicy, full of flavor
and compliments any of your awesome sides at your holiday table.
Their one-stop-shop holiday meal is
a great idea that was well overdue but it’s here,
in time for your holiday table and ready to be enjoyed!
While I totally understand that some veggies don’t like the idea
of a bird shaped vegan dish, I have to say it’s
just another wonderful alternative that for a lot of us,
we haven’t had for many years.
be it wellington to the whole vegan turkey by
Vegetarian Plus, I wish you very happy, healthy and eco-friendly holidays!!
