Asparagus and Crab Risotto

Asparagus and crab are two classic items that celebrate spring. Combined in a risotto, they make a knockout duo.

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) asparagus
4 cups (1 L) chicken broth
3 tbsp (45 mL) butter
onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup (80 mL) white wine
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) arborio rice
1/3 cup (80 mL) 15 % cream
Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup (250 mL) Canadian Parmesan, grated
1/2 lb (225 g) cooked crab meat
Gremolata:
1 tbsp (15 mL) orange zest, grated
1 tsp (5 mL) garlic, minced
3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh mint, finely chopped

Preparation

Trim and discard the woody ends of the asparagus. Cut trimmed spears into 1-inch (2.5 cm) sections, reserving the tips separately.
In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Poach asparagus tips in stock 2 min. Using a skimmer, drain and rinse under cold water. Drain and set aside. Add asparagus sections to the boiling stock and poach 3 min. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside with the asparagus still in it.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or risotto pan, melt butter and sweat onion 5 min without browning. Add rice and stir for 1 min. Add wine and cook 2 min at low heat while stirring.
Reheat the chicken broth with the asparagus sections in it. Add one ladle of hot broth to the rice. Cook and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed. Repeat the process until all the broth has been used and the rice is creamy but still al dente, 18 min to 20 min.
Add cream and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the Parmesan cheeseand two thirds of the crab meat and the asparagus tips. Reheat the risotto while stirring gently.
Combine all ingredients for the gremolata.
Serve risotto in warm shallow bowls and garnish with remaining crab and asparagus points. Sprinkle with gremolata.
Adding a final touch of cream to a risotto enhances its consistency and velvety texture, making it even more fabulous to bite into.

Paint Your Plate With Purple Produce For American Heart Month




American diets aren't colorful enough, according to a new survey from Welch's

- In honor of American Heart Month, Welch's is reigniting the conversation about the role of
colorful fruits and vegetables in supporting a healthy heart. New survey1 data announced by
Welch's today reveals Americans' confusion about the benefits of incorporating colorful produce
 into their diet. Almost half of consumers (44 percent) don't know or aren't sure that specific
colors of fruits and vegetables offer unique health benefits. And, though 63 percent of Americans
know that they should eat colorful produce, only 32 percent often make an effort to include it in
 their diet.

A colorful diet helps ensure you're getting the broadest possible range of vitamins,
 minerals and beneficial plant nutrients, like polyphenols. A perfect example is the
Concord grape, a dark purple powerhouse that delivers many of the same polyphenols
and heart health benefits as red wine, while promoting healthy circulation to keep your
 blood pumping and energy flowing. But, for many consumers, fruits and vegetables
 in the purple category remain an untapped opportunity. While 73 percent of Americans
 know purple fruits and vegetables are an option, only 18 percent of Americans can
 name more than three. Currently, only three percent2 of Americans' produce
 intake is from the purple and blue category.
"Colorful produce supports a healthy lifestyle, and my goal is to encourage more
 people to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. This research shows that
 Americans need help learning about their options, especially when it comes to purple
 produce," said Amber Pankonin, MS, RDN, LMNT and consultant to Welch's.
 "Taking a proactive approach to nutrition doesn't have to be complicated.
 In the purple category, 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes is a simple
 way to add healthy polyphenols into your diet."

Additional findings from the survey include:
  • While 53 percent of Americans acknowledge that they like 100% fruit juice
  •  and 93 percent state that heart health is important to them, more than half 
  • (57 percent) don't realize that 100% grape juice helps support a healthy heart 
  • and contributes purple fruit to their diet.
  • Red wine and 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes share many of the 
  • same polyphenols. Of the 65 percent of Americans who drink red wine, more
  •  than two-thirds (67 percent) are willing to swap a glass of wine for a glass of 
  • 100% grape juice every now and then, since it offers many of the same
  •  heart-health benefits.
More than 40 dark purple Concord grapes go into each 8-ounce glass of Welch's 100%
Grape Juice, which counts as two servings (1 cup) of fruit. It contains no added sugar,
color, flavor or preservatives, and serves as an excellent source of the antioxidant vitamin C.
And, because fresh Concord grapes are only available during a short time in the fall,
Welch's 100% Grape Juice is the best way to enjoy their delicious taste and heart-health
benefits all year round.

"During American Heart Month, we encourage people to paint their plates with color,
 including purple. Concord grapes are dark purple with a purpose, delivering beneficial
polyphenols that give them their signature color and heart-health benefits," said Casey
Lewis, MS, RD, Welch's Health & Nutrition Lead. "Whether enjoyed in a small glass
or used in your favorite recipe, 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes can be
one tasty way to add more purple fruit to your diet."

shelves in stores both big and small.

 millennials' tendencies to snack much more than any other generation,"
said Andrew Schuman, Hammond's President and CEO. "From a
profit perspective, retailers can't go wrong with offering a wide variety
of snacks for these consumers. Our new Crisps flavors are one way that
Hammond's is fulfilling its commitment to helping these candy sellers satisfy
 today's appetites with old-fashioned recipes and fresh ingredients."

 their sales volume in the already proven segment with its first shipment in
 March. For more information about placing your Crisps order,

 candy canes, beautifully spun ribbon candy, and larger-than-life
 lollipops when it was founded by the Hammond family in 1920,
making it Colorado's favorite handmade confectioner for decades.
 In 2007, the company became the Hammond's Brands that it is
 today through its acquisition by current President and CEO Andrew
 Schuman, growing from a much-loved, local candy company to a
 leading gourmet sweet provider with national regard (and has
 doubled the number of employees). Since then, Hammond's has

Portable Ultrasound Bladder Scanner Market Revenue is Expected to Reach US$ 170.6 Mn by 2026



Future Market Insights has announced the addition of the “Portable Ultrasound Bladder Scanner Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2016-2026" report to their offering.


 Invasive surgeries performed by urologists necessitate the need for advanced imaging systems that provide intricate details on infected organs & tissues, as well as the maturation of a disease.

A recent study conducted by Future Market Insights has projected that over 90% of the global revenues from sales of portable ultrasound bladder scanner will be accounted by 3D products.

Future Market Insights’ report, titled “Portable Ultrasound Bladder Scanners Market: Global Industry Analysis & Opportunity Assessment, 2016-2026,” delivers insights on key factors driving the growth of the portable ultrasound bladder scanner market. By the end of 2026, the global market for portable ultrasound bladder scanners is projected to incur a steady growth in terms of market value, rising from an estimated US$ 93.8 million in 2016 to US$ 170.6 million, exhibiting a 6.2% CAGR during the period.

According to the report, prevalence of independent urology care centres, pathology labs, and diagnostic facilities in the world reduces the potential risks of business impedance due to inadequate distribution. Hospitals will continue to be the largest end-users of portable ultrasound bladder scanners, while diagnostic centres will account for about 15% share of global revenues during the forecast period.

This Valentine’s Day, fitness experts say you can experience all the 'feel-good' sensations of falling in love...just by working out.

When we meet someone we find attractive, our hearts race, our palms sweat and our faces flush. Sound familiar? These are the same physical reactions most of us have when we work out. That’s because falling in love and exercising release many of the same chemicals, including
  • Oxytocin: Known as the 'cuddle hormone', our bodies release oxytocin to give us a feeling of well-being when we fall in love. Exercise triggers the body to release oxytocin and studies show professional athletes produce more oxytocin when they compete with their teammates. 
  • Endorphins: The brain releases endorphins during sustained, vigorous exercise. Endorphins cause feelings of euphoria, decreased appetite and can help boost the body’s immune response. When two people fall in love, the body will release a mix of endorphins, the body's natural morphine, accounting for the pleasure we feel when we’re in love.
  • Adrenaline: Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is responsible for an increase in heartbeat, restlessness, and preoccupation many experience in the early stages of romance (or beyond). The initial stages of falling for someone activates your stress response, increasing your blood levels of adrenalin and cortisol. Adrenaline is also responsible for kick-starting cardiorespiratory activity when you exercise and contributes to a higher metabolism and a better mood. Even the anticipation of exercise can spark a rush of adrenaline. 
Want to experience the sensations of falling in love, but not interested in the emotional requirements? Exercise physiology expert Marc Ikin, operations manager for the GoodLife Fitness Personal Training Institute, says regular workouts are your best bet. He suggests building in cardio, as well as some strength training to activate the feel-good hormones. 

Local personal trainers are available to talk more about the physical and mental effects of fitness and to suggest the right workout moves that will fill your Valentine’s Day with endorphins, oxytocin and adrenaline….almost like being in LOVE.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Men's Health Names Eggland's Best Eggs Among "Best Foods for Men"




Eggland's Best Recognized as "Best Eggs" for the twelfth time by Men's Health Magazine


CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- After reviewing thousands of
packaged food and drink products, Men's Health has once again awarded Eggland's Best Eggs
 with the title of "Best Eggs" in the 2017 Men's Health Best Foods for Men Awards.
The Men's Health Best Foods for Men list includes healthy, flavorful and easy-to-prepare
products that were taste-tested by the team at Men's Health with the goal of helping consumers
select the most nutritious products. This year Eggland's Best eggs have been honored by
Men's Health for their superior quality, freshness, nutrition and taste.
"Our goal at Eggland's Best is to consistently provide our customers with a nutritionally s
uperior egg that has the best quality, taste, and freshness," said Charlie Lanktree,
President and CEO of Eggland's Best. "We are again honored to be named to Men's
Health's prestigious list of Best Foods for Men."
Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain five times more vitamin D, 25
 percent less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E,
and three times more vitamin B12.  Eggland's Best's superior nutrition is due to its
proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a
wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.  In addition,
 independent testing has revealed that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells than
 ordinary eggs, which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.

"It's no surprise Eggland's Best eggs once again made the Best Foods for Men list since
 they provide a nutritionally superior product," said Registered Dietitian Lyssie Lakatos.
 "I always feel confident recommending Eggland's Best Eggs over ordinary eggs to
 my clients since they will benefit from more nutrients like vitamin D and omega-3
fatty acids – which are crucial for both men and women."

Eggland's Best Eggs is celebrating 25 years of providing a better egg with superior
quality, freshness, nutrition and taste. Visit Egglandsbest.com for 25th anniversary
 inspired recipes and more information.  Eggland's Best eggs are available in Classic,
