Wheatgrass - love it or hate it?
We grow and sell a good bit of wheatgrass, but have found it to be a polarizing crop as well. It's health benefits are very contested. Some swear by it, some swear against it. What are your thoughts?

I don't understand why this is such a good thing? Has anyone tried it? Is this really some big innovation?
-
Udi We ponder this question a lot at the office. Thanks for sharing
-
brittanymbarton sounds awful. I've heard it described as drinking pancake batter. Not to mention I don't think it's possible to get adequate nutrition from it.
-
gingerandchorizo I don't think I can ever do that because I love eating too much ;-)

Have any of you gluten-free folks tried this? #foodnews

sugardetoxme Only thing @georegulus will eat!

sugardetoxme Wonder if @unconventionalbaker can weigh in!

JenniferEmilson I've been living like this for over a year now. Only sourdough bread for me. It is definitely easier on the gut, and the probiotics created in the fermenting process eliminate a lot of what I...
Why Hunting Down 'Authentic Ethnic Food' Is A Loaded Proposition- price of ethnic food is tied to our view of that ethnicity's place. Agree?
npr.org
Great piece about Krishnendu Ray's new book. In terms of price correlation to an ethnicity's place in the world, I think price is also driven by new immigrants of that ethnicity not wanting to pay ...
-
garv Interesting point of view ! Every so called ethnic cuisine that travels to foreign lands evolves from being cooked to satiate that expat community's cravings to becoming an accepted / sought after...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @garv such an important trajectory to understand. I also find it interesting that even once an ethnic cuisine becomes mainstream in a foreign land and adapted to that flavor palette, there is still...

garv @Rachna couldn't agree more. That's the beauty of f&b , there's room for innovation & respect for authenticity!
Do you compost? I'm amazed at how quickly it breaks down!
That squash isn't something I tossed- it grew out of my compost pile!
-
sugardetoxme That's so cool!!!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Wish super cool!
-
brittanymbarton gorgeous! I love seeing food growing out of the compost!

DietID_TeamDietitians Love your comment! The only reason why I think it's important to talk about the diet of one of the most popular football players is because historically football has been associated with highly...

JenniferEmilson I would rather hear how doctors or cancer survivors eat than how the 'world's most beautiful couple' eats any day. They are paid to look good etc. They can afford to eat in a way that will keep...
By pairing exercise and nutrition, fitness studios are taking a holistic approach to health- has anyone joined a fitness studio's diet plan?
washingtonpost.com
To help customers avoid derailing their fitness goals with poor eating habits, some gyms are adding custom diets to their services. #foodnews
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter I think this is really smart! I wish they had a program like this my YMCA.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Especially for weight loss, food is the majority of influence, so it only makes sense to pair nutrition and exercise. But unfortunately in some gyms, I still see some questionable items in the...
If you only had three herbs to cook with...
What would they be?
-
Ricky Basil and Herbie Hancock. Need to think about the third.
-
annefood Such a hard question. I always ponder this while reading the Behind The Plate answers... I guess parsley, cilantro and basil. But it's hard for me to omit tarragon .
-
Ricky (No but srsly I wouldn't know what to do without cumin. I think cumin and basil would do it for me.)
Harvesting chocolate mint...🌱
...for our spinach and mint smoothie in Wellness class today! What's your favorite smoothie add in?!
-
sugardetoxme I LOVE chocolate mint. But if I had to have a favorite add in, hands down fresh almond butter and topping with bee pollen
-
DietID_TeamDietitians oh I've never had chocolate mint! Will have to hunt for it at the market for my slowly growing herb garden. My favorite add in is dates. They add the right touch of rich sweetness!
Should we “rewild” our urban bodies with microbes from indigenous peoples? - Quartz

"The best way of getting back essential bacteria we've lost to modern living may be to acquire them from people who live in remote parts of the world, and still have them."
-
DietID_TeamDietitians So interesting that so much of the gut biome is so unknown. Wonder who would be a big funder of this research
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! @ricky this is why my policy is "dirt don't hurt."
-
DietID_TeamDietitians
I'm not a die hard fan because it's made me feel a bit sick to my stomach once. Other than that, I know it's packed with nutrients but there hasn't been any good research on that I've found. Anyone...

What are the uses other than juicing?

@Rachna I've also yet to find any strong research on the benefits of it, a lot of it is still anecdotal at this point..to my knowledge at least. The breakdown of nutrients actually isn't that...
