NUTRITION INFO:

Calcium

Calcium is the most common mineral in the body, approximately 99% of which is in the bones and teeth.

The final 1% of the body’s calcium makeup is found in the blood and soft tissue. This 1% of calcium is vital

for proper bodily function. In fact, if not enough calcium is absorbed through diet, the body will begin to

de-mineralize bones to maintain the proper calcium levels in the bloodstream. Therefore, a diet with the

proper levels of calcium is mandatory to maintain a strong skeleton.

Key Benefits:

Strong bones and teeth, regulation of calcium levels in blood

Sources:

Amaranth, Collard Greens, Milk, Spinach

Copper

Copper is needed for the proper function of enzymes known as cuproenzymes.

Key Benefits:

Energy production, central nervous system function and antioxidant function.

Sources:

Barley, Mushrooms, Quinoa, Spelt, Zucchini

Essential Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is considered an essential fatty

acid because it cannot be synthesized by the human body. Studies have shown that diets with increased

levels of Omega-3 fatty acids can lead to decreased risks of heart disease.

Key Benefits:

Vision and proper eye function, proper nervous system function, improved cardiovascular

function

Sources:

Fish, Flaxseed, Olive Oil, Tofu

Basic Cooked

Polenta

cups cold water, chicken broth or

a combination

tsp. salt

cup coarse-ground polenta

tbs. butter, softened

Freshly ground black pepper,

to taste

⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Starting the polenta in cold water helps to avoid lumps. Polenta doesn’t need continuous

attention, but should be stirred frequently to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the inner

pot. For firm polenta, the mixture should be thick enough that a wooden spoon placed in the

center will stand upright for 10 to 15 seconds. Servings: 4-6

Place the inner pot into the rice cooker. Add cold water and salt to the inner pot. Stir in

polenta and press the “White Rice” button. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every

few minutes. Cook until polenta is soft and creamy and grains are soft. Stir in butter, pepper

and cheese. Serve immediately in a warmed large bowl or on a platter.
