With schedules zooming around like crazy, families continue to take advantage of premade meals sold at grocery stores. The trend is not losing any gas, and grocery stores are capitalizing.

Additionally, when asked how much space they plan to devote to each perimeter department in the coming year, 46% said they plan to […]

Are you going to automatically get fat from eating fat? No. There isn’t a single nutrient that will inherently make you fat when you eat them in reasonable amounts, and not in excess. In the 1950s, the “saturated fat causes heart disease” hypothesis was born. This stirred up lots of fear about saturated fat that still exists even to this day, yet now we understand that there are more factors to the role saturated fat plays in our diet. From […]
It’s not just the kitchen that changes but ingredients too. In Northern Ireland you used to be able to pick blackberries until the end of September, even early October, so we made the first crumble then, blackberries and apples under a crust of toasted hazelnuts, butter, wholemeal flour and brown sugar. Every year I think about Seamus Heaney’s Blackberry-Picking, a melancholic poem that reminds you how violently things can change in this season. The picked berries never last until the […]

It may be pumpkin spice season for some, but the October 2022 food trends suggest that a few other fall flavors may be taking center stage this time around. Though apple is a classic fall flavor, this year it seems that brands have really embraced the fall fruit as a star ingredient. For instance, Starbucks is rivaling its own Pumpkin Spice Latte with a new Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato that combines oat milk with apple cinnamon filling and brown sugar. […]

PORLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fat replacers, also known as fat substitutes, are chemicals that replace all or part of the fat in a product while maintaining the same flavor, texture, and mouth feel. Fat replacers are useful in two ways. They lower the fat content of food while also lowering the calorie count. Carbohydrate, […]
WASHINGTON — Pragmatism, rigorous science and affordability are among considerations that should be front and center for the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), according to a range of industry and other groups. Brief comments from dozens of organizations were submitted as video presentations or delivered live virtually for the third public meeting of the DGAC held Sept. 12-13. Directed to a panel of 18 committee members, commenters responded to scientific questions identified by the Department of Health and Human Services […]
Santorini assyrtiko is a dream of a white, prized for its bone-dry minerality, its scent of meadow flowers and salt – at once soothingly floral and stingingly marine – and its pithy flavour of lemons and white grapefruit. It’s also, suddenly, one of the most expensive of any regional appellation. Some of the best wines, such as Domaine Sigalas Assyrtiko 2021, Santorini (14.5%; Hedonism, £35.80), which combines a chiffony lightness with a stern mineral core, sell on tight allocation. It’s […]
Comfort food: for some, that will mean the food we eat alone, standing in front of an open fridge with no one else’s needs to satisfy other than our own. It can be a completely gratifying meal made of picky bits: a hunk of cheddar with a spoon of raspberry jam, say, or a cold leftover roast potato splashed with Maggi sauce and topped with a thick slice of salted butter, or an anchovy and draped over a pickle. However, […]
If you’ve set a weight loss goal for yourself, you may be aware of the frustration that comes with trying to lose fat specifically in your abdominal region. This type of fat around your belly, also known as visceral fat, can be stubborn and difficult to target. However, it is also one of the more dangerous types of fat, as carrying too much of it can lead to diseases and other health complications. If you’re looking for help with this […]
