.President UNISAME Zulfikar Thaver said the FPCC&I standing committee meeting scheduledfor 9th March 2016 has been postponed indefinitely. It is very important that it is convenedwithout delay, it is very unfortunate that rice industry which is ranked as the second biggest aftertextiles is left mercilessly neglected. Regardless of the fact that it employs huge number ofentrepreneurs from farm land to factories.
The SME rice farmers, millers, processors, traders and exporters are in turmoil due to the stepmotherly treatment of the government. The cost of production has gone high and this has madethe rice industry noncompetitive. The farm inputs have become costly. The only answer tosurvival is value addition, quality bench mark and entering non traditional markets. Thaver urgedRafique Suleman chairman FPCC&I committee on rice to invite the officers of the ministries ofagriculture, commerce, industry and science and technology to attend the meeting and co-ordinate with one another for the uplift of the rice sector

Korean gov’t to buy 157,000 tons of rice to stabilize prices March 7, 2016
SEOUL (Yonhap) — The government said Tuesday that it will purchase an additional 157,000tons of locally produced rice last year, as part of its effort to stabilize market prices.Under themeasure approved at a Cabinet meeting, the government will spend 140 billion won (US$113.6million) to isolate 157,000 tons of rice from the market following its previous purchase of200,000 tons in October 2015.In 2015, South Korea harvested a surplus amount of 3.57 milliontons of rice.The government will resell the reserved rice in the market after considering supplyand demand conditions, as well as local prices, officials said.
The Seoul government purchases the staple grain as part of the country‘s strategic reserves so itcan cope with national emergencies, or a sudden spike in international grain prices. The purchaseof rice also directly impacts the income of farmers.A huge surplus of rice coupled with Koreanseating less rice and more bread has led to a fall in rice prices over the years.The state-controlledrice stockpile reached 1.9 million tons at the end of 2015, according to agriculture ministry data.

Queensland‘s Professor Peter Halley as co-project leader, won the Excellence in InnovationAward at the CRC Association gala dinner last night (8 March).Professor Halley said the ultra-thin films were applied to the crop at seeding, trapping heat and moisture close to the ground tocreate a greenhouse effect.―As the plants grow, the plastic film breaks down in the sunlight,removing any environmental hazards,‖ Professor Halley said.
―This is a great benefit to crop growers, as they will be able to plant earlier, improve thegermination of their crops, use less water and potentially produce higher yields.―Licensed byAustralian company Integrated Packaging, the new plastic film technology is already in use inIreland for the production of maize.‖Integrated Packaging CEO John Cerini said his company joined the CRC for Polymers seeking to improve the technology of the film to make it moresustainable for a wider range of crops.―Our collaboration with the CRC led us to a new range offilms that give greater control over the timing of a film‘s degradation both above and belowground,‖ Mr Cerini said.The CRC is also developing a computer-based support tool to helpfarmers decide when to use the films for a given crop by providing information on the best timeto plant, the grade of film product to use, the likely yield and the potential costs and benefits.
The technology is being adapted to Australian conditions and farming practices and to more thana dozen commercially important crops in a series of field trials run across four states.ProfessorHalley said the trials demonstrated that the films resulted in more uniform germination, earlygrowth and establishment.―Also, many crop specific benefits were seen, such as a wider growingseason, the opportunity for a price premium for getting to market early, the ability to grow highervalue crops in cooler regions, more efficient use of available water, and increased yields,‖ hesaid.
CRC for Polymers CEO Dr Ian Dagley said the new technology was the result of more than adecade of research in the CRC between Integrated Packaging, UQ, QUT, CSIRO, ANSTO,
Greening Australia, Birchip Cropping and Rice Research Australia.―It demonstrates the greatvalue of the CRC Programme which assists companies to develop new products that result fromcollaborative multidisciplinary research with Australian universities and researchorganisations.‖The CRCP team at UQ consisted of Professor Halley, Associate Professor RowanTruss, Dr Bronwyn Laycock, Dr Greg Cash, Ms Emilie Gauthier, Mr Michael Murphy, Mr JohnMilne, Dr Paul Luckman, Dr Jorja Cork, Dr Sherri Hsu and Dr Tim Nicholson, with stronginvolvement from researchers at QUT, the Queensland Government and Queensland farmers.

Private-public collaboration needed for rice R&D
[COTONOU, BENIN] Africa‘s private and public sector institutions should collaborate to
address rice research and production challenges, a forum has heard.Rice researchers, scientists, policymakers, processors and seed producers who a attended the 2016 AfricaRice Science Week
and Global Rice Science Partnership-Africa Science Forum last month (1-5 February) at the
Africa Rice Center in Benin.
The conference was organised by AfricaRice, a member of the CGIAR Consortium, to review
activities carried out by rice sector development hub teams carried out in 2015.
―The private sector‘s involvement is absolutely essential to develop rice cultivation.‖
Marco Wopereis, AfricaRice
The forum also sought to disseminate scalable technologies for rice production and carry out
effective and efficient planning of rice research-for-development (R4D) activities in 2016.The
forum was attended by 200 experts from 30 countries, 27 of which are in Africa, including Cote
d‘Ivoire, Madagascar, Nigeria and Senegal.Marco Wopereis, AfricaRice deputy director-general,
told the forum that African countries will face a strong demand for rice of around 38 million tons by 2040, urging researchers to help farmers increase production capacity ―to grow rice in Africa
for Africa‖. ―The private sector‘s involvement is absolutely essential to develop rice cultivation,‖
Wopereis said. Rice experts said that the combined efforts and strengths of public-private sector
partnerships of all actors in the rice value chain could help increase production and stimulate
research on rice in Africa.

Noting that rice is a strategic crop for achieving food security and providing export
opportunities, AfricaRice director-general Harold Roy-Macauley, called for intensifyingadvances in scientific research to encourage such partnerships that are crucial for the
development of increased rice production in Africa.Sali Ndindeng, a researcher at AfricaRice,
told SciDev.Net : ―We have the same interests and a partnership between the private and public
sector will achieve these interests.‖Lucie Eulalie Racalaharimino, a manager at Relharf Agro
Business, a seed production company in Madagascar, added: ―The close collaboration between
the public and private sectors will allow us to know in advance the most efficient [rice] varieties

El Nino effect: Salt wounds Vietnam’s rice crop
By AT Editor on March 7, 2016
(From Radio Free Asia)
Vietnamese rice farmers are facing tough times this year as drought continues to punish thecountry‘s rice bowl bringing salt levels in the Mekong delta to record levels.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is already reporting that more than 200,000metric tons of rice have been damaged, resulting in a loss of over 1 trillion VND ($44.64 millionU.S.) to the region. It‘s a number that is likely to grow as the ministry expects salinity in thedelta to reach its highest level in a century.According to the ministry, saltwater intrusionappeared two months earlier than previous years due to serious river water shortages that arecaused, at least in part, by dry conditions that began in 2013. If the drought persists until June, itcould put some 500,000 hectares of rice crops at risk.
Not only is the drought harming rice farmers, but Hanoi blames the dry weather for a fresh watershortage affecting some 575,000 people throughout the region.―The source of water this year islower than before, this leads to deeper salinization compared to previous years,‖ Duong Van Ni,
an expert of Can Tho University told RFA. ―This is partly due to the weather conditions.‖A ricefarmer drills a well to water a drought-hit rice field in the southern Mekong delta province of SocTrang, March 2, 2016.

Both 2013 and 2014 were drier than usual, while 2015 saw the complete lack of the normal floodas an El Nino began to grip the Pacific, he said. The drought and more upstream agriculturaldevelopment in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam are pushing saline levels up, he explained.
―Because of El Nino effects this year, the water is very salty,‖ rice farmer Ben Tre told RFA.
―Normally it is not salty after Tet, but this year the water was salty since the tenth month of thelunar year last year.‖
Salinity in the Vam Co, Tien and Hau Rivers and other rivers in the delta is now higher thantraditional levels. Meanwhile, saltwater has intruded upstream 50 to 60 kilometers into themainland, and even 93 kilometers in the Vam Co River‘s neighborhood, about 15 to 20kilometers deeper than previous years, according to local media reports.
The problem has caught Hanoi‘s attention as Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phucattended a Feb. 17 meeting at Can Tho where he pledged VND 2.3 billion (U.S.$ 103,132) ingovernment aid for farmers in the region.
The government has organized a meeting with relevant ministries and leaders of all 12 MekongDelta provinces on Monday to discuss solutions, according to TuoiTreNews.

The Mekong River delta has been under stress for quite some time as many countries in Asia seethe river 2,700-mile-long river as a road to industrialization. Countries that have a claim on theMekong have built dozens of dams along the river.
China and Laos see the river as a way slake the region‘s thirst for electricity as well as for
agriculture and flood control. By 2020 Beijing wants to produce 282 gigawatts of hydroelectric power, and Laos wants electricity to become its major source of revenue by 2025.
Daming the river changes its water flow and is expected to have impact on agricultural production downstream, and particularly in countries like Vietnam that lie near the Mekong‘smouth. Dams block sediment that normally flows into the delta, causing it to shrink.
Add in the effects of climate change which is causing sea levels to rise,and the Mekong gets hitwith an environmental double-whammy.
While the government is taking action to ease the burden for rice farmers and others living on the
delta, Duong Van Ni said it could be too little too late.
―Irrigation projects have been carried out. Dykes to prevent salinization have been built in some place, and in others farmers have even changed their crops,‖ he explained. ―However, most ofthe measures are just for the short term and do not address the issue for a longer term. I thinkwhat they need to do is to provide people with capacity to deal with risks.‖

Wednesday, 09 March 2016
Local rice millers and exporters have responded with alarm to the rice-export target set by the
Lao government of 1 million tons this year, while Cambodian rice millers and traders have yet toovercome numerous barriers hindering their competitiveness at home and abroad.TheCambodian government missed its target of exporting 1 million tons of milled rice last year.

Oryza, a rice industry website based in Thailand, quoted the director of the department of planning and cooperation at the Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, as saying theimpoverished landlocked county is aiming to export 1 million tons of rice this year.The websitesaid the Lao government has set a production target of about 4.2 million tons of paddy in the2015-2016 season. The director said the target includes 40,000 tons of rice for reserve purposesand 60,000 tons for seeding. The Lao government is also planning to have 2.1 million tons fordomestic consumption this year.
―To boost rice production, the government is encouraging local farmers to increase the area
under wet rice cultivation to 1 million hectares and that of upland rice to 100,000 hectares,‖ thedirector is quoted as saying.Son Saran, the president of Cambodia Amru Rice (Cambodia), oneof the country‘s leading milled rice exporters, told Khmer Times yesterday that the Kingdom
already faces challenges with Vietnamese rice flooding the local market and a lack of funding formillers to buy paddy. He said Cambodia‘s rice sector will now face another challenge when it
has to compete in the export market with Laos.
The intention of Laos to increase rice production will affect Cambodian rice producers as thetarget market will be the same. We see Lao rice as a similar type as Cambodia produces,‖ Mr.
Saran said. He urged the government to take immediate action to address the issues in the localindustry in order to avoid a crisis.―This will put more pressure on the rice industry – more pressure to solve our issues so we can prevent a crisis. If no action is taken, our rice industry willslowly collapse and our farmers will be affected in the long ter m,‖ he added. Mr. Saran said thegovernment should intervene and stabilize the supply chain, seed production, find financing to buy paddy, add drying facilities, improve logistics and reduce the cost of electricity for millers.
Hun Lak, the Managing Director of Mekong Oryza Trading, a local rice exporter and also thevice-president of the Cambodia Rice Federation, said there will now be more competition intraditional export markets. ―Actually, Laos didn‘t export much before, but now they areattempting to export big amounts. Of course, we will compete with them as they have the samemarkets and trade we have,‖ he said.―Local rice millers and exporters have to cooperate together
to find ways or a strategy to maintain our market share and our export volume,‖ he added.
Early last week, a group of ―activist‖ millers and exporters within the federation bypassed its
senior leaders and sent a letter to the Ministry of Commerce warning that the rice sector couldcollapse within two years if the government did not take swift action.They warned that besidesdriving domestic millers out of business, a failure to address threats to the industry as well asweaknesses in its value chain would cause massive uncertainty, poverty and unrest in rural areasas farmers would not be able to sell their paddy.The rice federation will hold a press conference

Report calls for action to keep rice sector afloat
Tue, 8 March 2016
Cheng Sokhorng
A group of rice millers and exporters critical of the direction in which the rice industry is beingsteered submitted a detailed report to the Commerce Ministry yesterday, warning that local producers were being driven to bankruptcy and calling for immediate action, such as a quota onrice imports and debt rescheduling for millers, to alleviate the sector‘s woes.The report expands
on a presentation made during a meeting last week between the group, whose initiative is calledRice Industry Strategic Key Solution (RISKS), and Commerce Minister Sun Chanthol, in whichits members outlined the rice sector‘s deteriorating conditions and cast blame in part on theineffectual governance of the Cambodian Rice Federation (CRF).Following the presentation, Chanthol requested a more detailed report on the situation andrecommendations, which he said would be forwarded to Prime Minister Hun Sen.Of thesuggested action, the group prioritised the imposition of a quota on the import of milled ricefrom Vietnam, which they say makes local millers less competitive, as well as working with

commercial banks and microfinance institutions to delay millers‘ debt payments.―According to
estimates, around 700,000 tonnes to 800,000 tonnes of milled rice was imported from Vietnam in2015,‖ the report reads. ―These imports from Vietnam have ‗taken over and invaded‘ the local
rice market.‖
The RISKS group, which has grown from 18 members last week to 24 now, claims that the floodof milled rice imports from Vietnam has driven 40 per cent of Cambodian millers out of businessin the last three years.The proposed rice quota, the group says, would limit foreign imports to100,000 tonnes a year and add a 35 per cent tax to the invoiced price of the imported rice. It saidsimilar measures have been implemented in other countries such as Thailand, Malaysia andIndonesia.―We have a lot of our own potential for rice export, so there is a case for a quotalimiting the import of rice‖ said Kann Kunthy, CEO of Battambang rice miller Brico. ―We have
already studied this suggestion and it will have no issues with WTO regulations.‖
Kunthy said the group‘s nine-point solution needed to be addressed in the next three months ifthe government wanted millers to reach its ambitious one-million-tonne per year milled rice
export target.―We have done 50 per cent of the work by finding solutions and the government has to help
complete the remaining 50 per cent by implementation,‖ he said, adding the CRF has failed toaddress the industry‘s troubles since it was formed two years ago.Softening its initial demand,
the RISKS group urged the government to help millers obtain $250 million in soft loans at 4 percent interest per annum, while pushing back their loan obligations.―We suggest that banks andmicrofinance institutions reschedule the loan payments for rice millers in order to give them achance for survival,‖ said Song Saran, CEO of Amru Rice and a member of the RISKS initiative.
Other solutions listed in the report include stricter enforcement of punitive action for millers
found mixing local and imported rice, reducing the cost of electricity for millers and eliminationof the value-added tax (VAT) for millers.In response to the group‘s first meeting with theCommerce Ministry, the CRF issued a press release last week stating that it was looking at threekey issues – rice imports from neighbouring countries, shortage of financing options for millersand high electricity costs.―The CRF is trying their best to work with relevant stakeholders to seeksolutions for the rice sector and requests that all members join us and find a solution together,‖
said CRF president Sok Puthyvuth.

Jakarta. Indonesia's antimonopoly agency says it has found indications of cartel practices in thecountry's largest rice wholesale market, which cause prices of the staple to rise during certainmonths of the year.
President Joko Widodo last year called on the Business Competition Supervisory Commission(KPPU) to investigate domestic rice trading after the government had to import rice despiteofficial data showing that the harvest actually exceeded local demand.The agency suspects thatcertain large traders at the Cipinang Wholesale Rice Market – the nation's main rice exchange – often block supplies from other provinces in favor of imported rice, KPPU chairman SyarkawiRauf said on Monday (08/03)."They often drive the prices up high enough to vindicate demandfor rice imports [...] because there is more profit in selling imported rice," Syarkawi said.
The traders can make 10 percent profit on imported rice, compared to just 3 percent on local rice.They also buy the rice from state procurement agency Bulog's nearby warehouses, resulting in
significant savings on transport costs compared to having to source the commodity from otherregions, the KPPU chairman added.The agency says a group of five to seven companies control70 percent of local market trade, compared to Bulog, which only has the capacity to supply 20 percent of the country's rice demand."We are having trouble to find evidence, because theiroperations are quite sophisticated," Syarkawi said.However, he said the KPPU was expected togather enough evidence for a hearing on the case in April.

Meanwhile, Nellys Sukidi, chairman of the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Rice Millers andEntrepreneurs Association (Perpadi), dismissed any notion of cartel practices in the localmarket."In Cipinang alone we have 600 traders with 3,000 tons of rice changing hands every day[...] There is also real-time, transparent pricing information available," Nellys said.

USA Rice Encourages Kids to 'Wake Up' to School Breakfast
By Deborah Willenborg
ARLINGTON, VA -- USA Rice is helping schools around the country celebrate School
Breakfast Week with three great tasting, healthy recipes developed especially for the foodservice
K-12 program. The three recipes, Berry Breakfast Brown Rice, Creamy Cinnamon BreakfastRice Pudding, and Great Day Rice Wrap, feature U.S.-grown rice in the center of the plate.
"These breakfast recipes are part of our effort to promote rice beyond the side dish to the centerof the plate and to get people thinking about rice for other meals besides dinner," said Katie
Maher, USA Rice director of domestic promotion.
Maher added, "By attending the School Nutrition Association (SNA) conferences over the years,
we've compiled a database of influential school foodservice operators so we can regularly
communicate with them and share new recipes and resources. This week, USA Rice sent an e-newsletter to SNA contacts promoting School Breakfast Week along with links to the three
recipes and our Rice 101 Guide."
Rice 101 is a compilation of everything a school cafeteria staff needs to know about how to
make perfect rice for students in one handy reference guide. No matter which type of rice orequipment the school kitchen uses, the answers are all in the guide. There is also a collection of
delicious rice recipes that meet child nutrition program requirements for grains in school meals.
The annual school breakfast celebration was launched in 1989 by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to raise awareness about the availability of the School Breakfast Program which
meets federal dietary guidelines and to highlight the established link between eating breakfast
and academic success.
Are CARBS the new cigarettes? White bread, bagels andrice 'increase the risk of lung cancer by 49%', experts warnBy LISA RYAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 23:21 GMT, 7 March 2016 | UPDATED: 17:24 GMT, 8 March 2016

Many studies suggest carbohydrates are bad for your waistline.But a new study has warned they may also be bad for your lungs.Specifically, foods with a high glycemic index - such as white bread or bagels, corn flakes and puffed rice - may increase the risk of lung cancer, scientists say.And non-smokers, who account for 12 per cent of those killed by the disease, appear to be particularly at risk.
Scientists say foods with a high glycemic index - including white bread, bagels, corn flakes and
puffed rice - increase a person's risk of lung cancer, even if they have never smoked The
glycemic index is a measure of the quality of dietary carbohydrates - and is defined by how
quickly blood sugar levels are raised after a meal.
The theory now is that a high-GI diet triggers higher levels of blood glucose and insulin.This, in turn, increases levels of a type of hormone called Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs).Elevated levels of IGFs have previously been linked with a higher risk of lung cancer.

Lead study author Dr Stephanie Melkonian, of the University of Texas MD Anderson CancerCenter, said: 'We observed a 49 per cent increased risk of lung cancer among subjects with thehighest daily GI compared to those with the lowest daily GI.'And the findings suggest cutting out foods with high glycemic index could reduce a person's riskof developing lung cancer.
Examples of low GI foods include whole-wheat or pumpernickel bread, rolled or steel-cutoatmeal and wholemeal pasta.However the study also found glycemic load - a related measure of carbohydrate quantity - hadno significant association with lung cancer risk.This suggests it is the average quality, instead ofquantity, of carbohydrates consumed that may modulate lung cancer risk.Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women across the US.Furthermore, it is also the leading cause of cancer deaths.
ALL ABOUT THE GLYCEMIC INDEXThe glycemic index, or GI, measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose.Foods are ranked based on how they compare to a reference food — either glucose or white
bread.A food with a high GI raises blood glucose more than a food with a medium or low GI.Foods with low GI include:
100% stone-ground whole wheat or pumpernickel bread Oatmeal (rolled or steel-cut), oat bran, muesli Wholemeal pasta, converted rice, barley, bulgar wheat Sweet potato, corn, yam, lima/butter beans, peas, legumes and lentils
Foods with high GI include: White bread or bagel Corn flakes, puffed rice, bran flakes, instant oatmeal Shortgrain white rice, rice pasta, macaroni and cheese from mix
Russet potato, pumpkin Pretzels, rice cakes, popcorn, saltine crackers melons and pineapple
Source: American Diabetes AssociationMore than 150,000 people in the US are expected to die from lung cancer in 2016, according toan estimate from the American Cancer Society.Meanwhile in the UK there are around 45,525new cases of the disease diagnosed each year, while 35,371 people lose their life to the diseaseannually, according to Cancer Research UK.And while tobacco is the leading cause of lungcancer it does not account for all cases - particularly for those who never smoked. The newstudy, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, is the largestever to investigate the potential link between glycemic index and lung cancer.It is also the first to
show GI was more significantly associated with lung cancer risk in specific subgroups -including people who had never smoked and those with the sub-type squamous cell carcinoma.Previous studies have found that dietary factors may have an influence on a person's risk ofdeveloping lung cancer.
Diets high in fruits and vegetables were found to decrease the risk - while increased consumptionof red meat, saturated fats and dairy products are know to increase the risk of the disease.Dr

Melkonian said: 'Diets high in glycemic index result in higher levels of blood glucose andinsulin, which promote perturbations [disturbances] in the insulin-like growth factors(IGFs).'Previous research suggests increased levels of IGFs are associated with increased lungcancer risk. 'However, the association between glycemic index and lung cancer risk wasunclear.'For this study, the research team surveyed 1,905 patients newly diagnosed with lung
cancer - and found there was a higher risk of lung cancer in patients with the highest dailyGI.Senior study author Dr Xifeng Wu said: 'The associations were more pronounced amongsubjects who were never smokers, diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or had less than 12years of education.

The study found high glycemic foods increase the risk of lung cancer by 49 per cent - perhaps becausethey trigger important hormonal fluctuations in the body The scientists also found that among people whohad never smoked, those with high GI were more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer.And for
smokers, the risk was only elevated by 31 per cent compared to those in the lowest GI group.Furthermore,those with the highest GI levels were 92 per cent were more likely to develop the squamous cellcarcinoma sub-type, as compared to the lowest GI group. Participants who had less than 12 years of education were 77 per cent more likely to developlung cancer than those in the lowest group.In contrast, those with more than 12 years ofeducation only had an elevated risk of 33 per cent. The study recommended that people limitfoods and beverages with high GI.Examples of low GI foods include whole-wheat or pumpernickel bread, rolled or steel-cut oatmeal and pasta. Dr Wu said: 'The results from thisstudy suggest that, besides maintaining healthy lifestyles, such as avoiding tobacco, limitingalcohol consumption and being physically active, reducing the consumption of foods and
beverages with high glycemic index may serve as a means to lower the risk of lung cancer.

Inés Rosales Baked Goods
They are all individually wrapped and so good!
There really was an Ines! In 1910, she began making Olive Oil Tortas by hand and
selling them at the train station in Seville, Spain. She used local extra virgin olive oil and
unbleached wheat flour. In a short period of time, this Andalusian snack was knocking
them dead in Spain.
Today, they are made by hand with the same recipe Ines Rosales created over one
hundred years ago. Women from the local village are still employed to create her
delectable baked goods in small batches.
We LOVED the tortas, in Original, Seville Orange, Cinnamon, Rosemary & Thyme and
Sesame & Sea Salt. Eat them alone or with dips perfect for dipping or topping with
cheese. the Cinnamon and Seville orange ones are brilliant with tea or coffee in themorning. They remind me of when I was little and my mom let me roll out her extra pie
dough scraps, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake ―cookies‖ until they were
crispy and golden.

These Spanish cookies are the best-in-show as far as we are concerned.
Another genius item from Inés Rosales is their Cinnamon Cookies, a smaller thicker
powdered sugar cookie with cinnamon and anise, a shortbread-like cookie with a castersugar cover. They win for best cookie we tried of the show!
That’s it. Fruit Bars
Genius for bikers, hikers and kids who love that candy bar break without the crap!
There is serious truth in advertising here as these all fruit leather bars are thicker than a
rollup and way more satisfying. That‘s it. makers of two-ingredient snack bars sent us
their entire line of all fruit bars, and we are better for it.
You get real fruit and they limit the ingredient list two ingredients per flavor. And the top
flavor for me? Apple + Coconut, incredible, moist and satisfying, the fruity apple is

The Simple Mills Chocolate Chip Cookie Almond Flour Mix makes 20-24 cookies made
with 7 ingredients, you add eggs, oil, and vanilla, and bake for about 15 minutes. They
were great and not at all dry like some mixes that use coconut flour. They really were

The artisan bread has half the sugar, twice the protein and half the carbs of regular bread,
and is paleo-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO. You can creative with it and
make a pizza crust or calzone wrap if you like.

Me too. Get ready to lose your mind with Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste,
a kind of costly (about $30 for the bottle) but so worth it…pure vanilla with natural
vanilla bean seeds in a gooey brown fragrant suspension infusing the pure vanilla pod
into your desserts. 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of vanillaextract – but of course, if you are like me, you will still double it.
Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract
Orange you glad I showed you this?
I never realized what I was missing not having good orange extract in my life. That
changed when they sent me Nielsen-Massey orange oil extract that is like having athousand perfectly juiced navel oranges with the rind oil at your fingertips. Need orange
zest? No problem. Need fresh juice? Bingo. Chefs can use this with poultry, fish, and
seafood dishes. The mixologist of the house can whip up some crafty run, gin and vodka

Personally, I always wanted the corner brownie, the crisped crunchy corner where the
gooey fudge seemed to migrate to the middle I hate the middle. Brownie Bites are for

their Olive Oil and Seasme Oil in the spray form too. Neutral in flavor and with a smoke
point of 440°F, Organic Sun Coco Oil combines high-heat properties of high-oleic
sunflower oil and buttery texture from coconut oil, making it perfect for any non stick
situation.
The new pourable ―must haves‘ in your pantry is their three winners: Herbes de
Provence, Basil, and Garlic Oil. Making a vinaigrette? Use any of these. Stir frying
anything? Garlic Oil! Making a pasta salad? Basil Oil! There. I just made summer season
easier for you.
For the Sun Coco spray: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate. Make sure to shake
well before using. If stored at room temperatures under 76°F – coconut oil may solidifyat the bottom. Organic Sun Coco oil is Omega-rich, contains MCT oil and acts as a
natural antioxidant due to the high level of vitamin E.
You will be speaking French in no time.
The Herbes de Provence Oil can take the heat and is fantastic for meat and fish. I used it
as a brush on for the artisan bread from Simple Mills mentioned above! Grown in France

Viki’s Granola
Of all the granolas, this one had to walk into that joint…
There are a million granolas. So why Viki‘s? Simple. This granola pinged on taste, ease
of eating, quality of ingredients and varieties. Granola can be a boondoggle, meaning it
can rip the roof of your mouth out and shred it, or it can break your teeth.
This granola has a softness or smaller ―bite‖ that makes it a pleasure to eat. Simple
ingredients, no fillers, salts or preservatives, mix in favorite yogurt or ice cream, enjoy it
as a bowl of cereal with milk, or straight out of the bag. Recommended: Viki‘s Granola

The Real Organic Raw Cane Sugar
Where‘s the kale? Not yet! Another natural sugar. The Real Co organic raw cane sugar is
made at the Assukar farms, owned by The Ortuño Family, in the Jurassic Park location of
Tayutic Valley of Costa Rica. This multi-generational family-run farm dates back to 1877
and they make it in the original process, A true non-GMO cane crystal sugar.
Personally, I believe in quality real sugars over anything artificial, just use less of it. The
farming and milling operations at Assukar farms is a sustainable community food product
that employs ten villages.

No gas is used. Instead, through the use of animal traction, a non-pollutant manual
method is utilized, see how they do it.
The Real Co Himalayan pink rock salt comes from a small mining community in the
Karakorum range of the Western Himalayas. Hand-mined and crushed at the source, this
has 84 live minerals, which is exactly the same as found in the human body. The alleged
benefits of this natural salt include managing the water content throughout your body,
healthy PH balance in your cells, hydration, anti-muscle cramping, blood pressure and
circulation improvements and helps the intestines absorb nutrients.
The Real Co White Basmati Rice will have you hearing Zeppelin‘s Kashmir in your
head. It is sourced directly from one farm in the Himalayas. This unique farming situation
– aging the grain six months – nets a grain that doubles in size when cooked. Tastes
amazing too.

Raisins but not raisins. Chewy, dried natural sweet balls of real fruit that can go solo or
mix in with granola. This is a staple in our house for mulled wine (glogg) and for Sangria

Vermont Smoke & Cure New: Meat Sticks
Spit that Slim Jim out and get some religion when it comes to a meat snack. Vermont
Smoke & Cure launched three new flavors of its Meat Sticks during the 2015 Natural
Products Expo East. They are also going to be at Natural Products Expo West! Like the
other half-dozen flavors of the better-for-you meat snacks in the line, the Spicy Italian
Pork, Rosemary Thyme Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Sticks are gluten free and containconsiderably less fat and salt than competing meat sticks.
Most meat sticks are snout or mushed up ears and guts, so be kind to yourself and eat real
meat, not offal. These are made with quality meat. Beef in the sticks sources from lead
supplier Pineland Farms Natural Meats in Maine or other similar suppliers. Pork is
purchased at DuBreton in Quebec or from Coleman Natural Foods, which works with
family farmers throughout the country to produce meat raised entirely without antibiotics

Slow cooker pork shoulder vindaloo in Concord, N.H. This dish is from a recipe by MeeraSodha. (AP Photo/Matthew Mead)By MEERA SODHA, Associated PressPublished: March 8, 2016, 6:07 AMThere‘s a real joy in slowing down in the kitchen. Gone is the frantic stress of trying to get
dinner on the table in an instant and in its place comes a different type of gentle cooking. Itallows beautiful smells to waft through the house and ingredients to mingle and develop overtime into something deep, rich and flavorful.
Of all slow cooked dishes, Goan pork vindaloo is my favorite. Originally a Portuguese stewmade with meat, garlic and wine, the dish made its way to India in the 1500s with Portugueseexplorers. Like so many other dishes, it then was reinterpreted. Today, vindaloo curry is a sweet,
hot and sour dish popular all over the world.Though the modern recipe, like the original dish, still uses garlic and wine vinegar, it haschanged to include chilies and lots of warming spices, such as cinnamon, cumin and cloves. Ilike to use a cheaper and fattier cut of meat, such as pork shoulder, which responds well to aslow braise and shows its true colors after a few hours to become the best type of pork — succulent, sweet and soft.

Whatever happens, rest assured that there are no wrong moves with slow cooking. It‘s one of the
only mediums of cooking that creates a level playing field between the pro chef and the amateur.It gives you the flexibility to taste and adjust as you go until it tastes just right. The only troubleis that after several hours of cooking, it will only take a few minutes to eat.
SLOW COOKER PORK SHOULDER VINDALOO
If you‘re nervous about the amount of chili powder, halve the amount called for in the recipe. It
will still be delicious. If your slow cooker doesn‘t have a saute setting, start the dish in a largesaute pan, then transfer to a slow cooker.
Start to finish: 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours (1/2 hour active)
Servings: 4
4 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, divided
20 black peppercorns
1 star anise
3-inch cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
