Super foods made "super" by the media?
The more I read the more I feel that it's the media / select groups that define super foods year after year & sometimes just out of the blue!!

DietID_TeamDietitians this is awesome!! great #nofoodwaste tips! my big tip for food waste is to use the food that goes bad quickly before food that lasted longer- like greens before potatoes

Athina Another #nofoodwaste tip is to chop up wilting vegetables and freeze them to use later in broths. For fruits, I juice them and put them in ice cube trays to use in cocktails.

DietID_TeamDietitians I loved the water episode especially with all the scenes of bowl cooking in India
-
serveMEnow Yes! The water episode inspired me to get up, stop watching, and cook. That one quote summarized, "eat anything you want, you just have to cook it!" #mindblown @Rachna

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."
What to do with all those artichoke leaves?
I'm cooking artichoke hearts today, but always despair all the leaves that I have to compost. I'm thinking of making an artichoke soup by soaking the leaves but does anyone else have a good solutio...
-
Georegulus I never really figured out how to use artichokes, so I'd like to know myself!
-
mirasingh I've heard you can steam them with herbs and butter - any herbs if you have some lying around. I also just came across this thread on @food52...
-
olivettefarm I remember an herbalist I met once dried them and used them in teas. I think he may have used them as a digestive. We tried to use the leaves once in stock, but weren't crazy about it.

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?
-
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...
-
lauren What are the uses other than juicing?
-
olivettefarm @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...

It's marketing fluff, but how one thing gets on the list is a matter of hustle. Reminds me of this article from a couple years ago...

It's strange actually , because on one hand we talk about local produce & on the other hand some food belonging to a country miles away becomes all the rage & moves from being staple to that region...
