Food Of The Week

This week we celebrate baby spinach. While available throughout the year, it is currently in the peak of its season. With smaller and more tender leaves than regular spinach, baby spinach is an ideal choice for a side salad or a salad meal. You can find it pre-washed in bags or plastic containers so all you have to do is add your favorite salad ingredients — chicken, fish, nuts, seeds, and other vegetables — and enjoy! Because spinach is included on the list of foods containing the highest amount of pesticide residues, be sure to include it on your list of vegetables that you want to be sure are organically grown.

Recipe Of The Week

Mediterranean Baby Spinach Salad
Baby spinach makes the perfect foundation for a salad meal!

Cooking with George
Salads are only limited by your imagination.

Healthy Cooking Tip
Baby spinach is immature Flat-leaf spinach that has been harvested much earlier in its lifecycle. It has a mildly sweet flavor and is lower in oxalic acid. It is best for salads as it is too tender for cooking.

How to Cook Without Destroying Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants

Did you know that traditional methods for cooking vegetables can lose from 50-80% of their nutritional value? Traditional cooking methods such as boiling can deplete water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, as well as flavonoid phytonutrients. When I discovered that 88% of the folic acid in carrots and 66% of the flavonoids in carrots and broccoli are destroyed through boiling for extended periods of time, I knew how important it was to develop alternative Healthiest Way of Cooking methods that you will find in the World's Healthiest Foods book, which will help retain the maximum nutritional value found in these health-promoting foods.

Q&A from our new book:
