Download or read book Breeding for Enhanced Nutrition and Bio Active Compounds in Food Legumes written by Debjyoti Sen Gupta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 20 million childhood deaths occur every year due to the micronutrient deficiency and diet-related non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes). The United Nations (UN) recently announced that the increase in chronic, non-communicable diseases has resulted in 36 million deaths around the world annually, claiming more lives than all other causes combined. These chronic diseases are not isolated to developed countries and are even more pronounced in the developing world. Such chronic illnesses have caused far more deaths than infectious diseases throughout the world (except Africa) in recent years. Therefore, enrichment of micronutrients in staple food crops is of paramount importance for the nutritional security in our world. Biofortification is the development of micronutrient- and/or vitamin-rich crops using traditional crop improvement practices as well as modern biotechnology tools. It is a more sustainable and cost effective method than food supplementation, fortification and diet diversification. This work consolidates available information on the different aspects of breeding for improved nutrition of pulses. An overview of entire pulses based on their nutritional profile is given so that audience can find the desired information easily. Food legumes are the active ingredients in many gluten-free food products and there is a continuous rise of the use of pulses flour in milling and baking processes. Our book sheds light on recent efforts and the underlying constraints of meeting the public demand. We believe this work provides the basic information for anyone interested in biofortification and stimulate further research to meet this unique challenge.

Book excerpt: Sprouting Deliciousness: 105 Ways to Enjoy Brussels Sprouts Brussels sprouts have long been a staple vegetable in many households, but they haven't always gotten the love they deserve.

When prepared correctly, they can be tender and delicious, with a depth of flavor that's both satisfying and unexpected. In Sprouting Deliciousness, you'll learn how to prepare Brussels sprouts in a variety of different ways, each highlighting their unique flavor and texture. Try them roasted with garlic and Parmesan, glazed with maple and bourbon, or even raw and shredded in a salad.

But this cookbook is about more than just recipes. Throughout the pages, you'll find tips for buying, storing, and preparing Brussels sprouts, as well as information on their nutritional benefits. You'll also learn about different ways to cook Brussels sprouts, from roasting to steaming to pickling.

With the proliferation of artificial additives, hormones, antibiotics, and the thousand other man-made substances and chemical cocktails lurking in our grocery bags, eating healthy, natural foods is trickier than ever. It's no coincidence that America's health is flagging, with obesity and type 2 diabetes now at epidemic levels. Taking control of your diet doesn't have to be a challenge. Pure Food will show you how easy—and how much healthier—it is to cook clean, delicious foods. Kurt Beecher Dammeier, chef, restaurateur, food entrepreneur, retailer, and educator has spent the past 30 years of his life working to rid his own diet of food additives, and nearly 20 creating and selling pure, unadulterated foods through his Seattle-based family of food businesses (including Beecher's Handmade Cheese, Pasta & Co, and Bennett's Restaurant).

Part handbook and part cookbook, Pure Food contains more than 70 delicious and natural recipes for pure living.

It also contains an assortment of sauces and sides, from Red Fresno Sriracha and 4 Year Flagship Aioli to Red Cabbage Peperonata and Wilted Collard Greens.
