Week of Dec 28 - Jan 3
This week we celebrate garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas) as part of your Healthiest Way of Eating. The enjoyment of these nutrient-rich beans dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Not only are they a valuable dietary staple in the Middle East, where they originated, but garbanzo beans are the most widely consumed legumes in the world!

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:
What are cold pressed oils?
From Satisfied Book Readers:
I love the book, and as a dietitian I believe in whole foods. I hope in private practice (when I retire next year) I can use your concepts and recipes, to guide people to good health. I know many dietitians who use your book in teaching clientele. - LS
