Yang and colleagues) GRAIN LEGUMES No. 49 – October 2007 3 Available markets should be supplied – we need to encourage farmers to enlarge areas n the past three years, grain legume areas in France have decreased Isignificantly: 2007 areas are 50% less for peas and 30% less for faba beans compared with 2004 areas. In contrast to peas whose Pierre Cuypers* yield also decreased, faba beans benefited from a quite valuable average yield this 2007 harvest. There has been a general trend in recent seasons for enhanced damage to arable crops caused by adverse climatic conditions during the crop cycle. However the decrease in grain legume area in France and in other EU countries is especially alarming for farming systems. Indeed, as highlighted by Mr Christophe Terrain, President of Arvalis1 at a French press conference this summer, it is vital to manage cropping decisions at the rotation level, and grain legumes bring a clear benefit in rotations. The Arvalis Acting Director, Gérard Morice pointed out that they enhance the yield of the following cereal by 0.7 to 1 t/ha, and have costs €50 to €70 lower than a wheat or oil crop. We need to respect the cycle of crops on one field, by avoiding the return of similar crops too soon, and maintaining the diversity of cultivated species. On the market side, UNIP was frustrated to see that there was a low offer of faba beans and peas for the attractive export outlets which have reached very high prices this commercial campaign! Grain legumes compete indirectly with some other crops that benefit from a more positive image and from lucrative contracts, but we also identified some logistical difficulties at collection, storage and market levels that are linked to minor volumes. That is why we believe in demonstrating actions towards farmers and farmers’ unions and in innovative partnerships at regional levels to reinforce stability of the crop chain from the grower to the market users. In addition, we believe in collaboration with scientists to achieve genetic enhancement or agronomic solutions to overcome diseases and pests or soil and climatic variations, while maintaining high seed quality. Grain legumes have benefits especially at agronomic and environmental levels, so we need to be creative to make them economically valuable! I *UNIP President, Paris, France.

GRAIN LEGUMES No. 49 – October 2007 4 AEP NEWS Changes and challenges for AEP Lisbon-2007 – Since autumn 2006, there have been some changes at AEP Integrating legume biology headquarters. for sustainable agriculture – A lighter structure for AEP in Paris a coming milestone for legumes One of AEP’s main sponsors, UNIP, which hosts the AEP headquarters, has experienced difficulties associated with the strong decline in grain legume areas in recent years in France (as in other EU countries). UNIP has always supported AEP activities at financial and political levels and appreciates the successful networking and dissemination efforts that have been carried out by AEP in the past years. However, with the new situation, UNIP cannot continue to support AEP without reductions in the activities and finances that go through the AEP office in Paris hosted by UNIP. The consequence is that the Paris headquarters of AEP now have a lighter structure with only one half-time person and no more secretarial assistance. In fact, UNIP proposes to take a greater part in AEP activities and decisions while ensuring the balance of AEP budgets. AEP e are delighted to announce that our Lisbon-event to be held has always wished to involve more representatives from the industry Wfrom 12 to 16 November 2007 has received the patronage sector. It is expected that this involvement will be followed by of Mr José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission. similar involvement of other market-related organisations or Mr Timothy Hall, the Acting Director of Biotechnologies, economic partners.

  • Corn, Is It a Fruit, Vegetable Or Grain? by Anne-Marie Walker
    Corn, Is it a Fruit, Vegetable or Grain? By Anne-Marie Walker Corn, Zea mays, belongs to the Poaceae family, and while eaten sometimes as a vegetable and sometimes as a grain, it is actually classified by botanists as a fruit, as are tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and other squashes. Sweet corn is a variant in which the sugar in the fruit kernels turns from sugar to starch less slowly after harvest. When selecting a variety to plant in Marin, home gardeners need to remember that corn germinates best with soil temperatures of at least 60 -70°F. Accordingly, it is classified as a warm season crop that works best in full sun. Before planting, amend the soil with a blended all natural fertilizer (5-5-5) and direct seed covering with about 1 inch of soil. Because corn is wind pollinated, planting four short rows of plants (each about eight feet long) works well. Seeds can be planted every four inches and after three to four leaves appear, thinned to eight inches. When the plants are 12 inches tall, side dress with fertilizer or water with fish emulsion and seaweed product (4-1- 1). Each stalk has been bred to produce two ears, maybe three with optimal conditions. It is unnecessary to remove suckers and if you plant more than one variety, you need to isolate the varieties from each other to ensure maintaining the desirable characteristics; remember it is wind pollinated! A distance of 400 yards is recommended between varieties. Corn is ready to pick when the silk browns, the husk is still green and the kernels are full sized to the tip of the ear.

  • Milk and Milk Alternatives
    Milk and Milk Alternatives Topic of the Month: October 2015 Milk’s role in the WIC Food Package: The WIC food package provides milk and other dairy products to participants over the age of 12 months. Dairy products contribute key nutrients to the WIC food package and the diet of the WIC recipient. A glass of milk contains three of the four nutrients that USDA deems under-consumed by most Americans— calcium, vitamin D and potassium. (1) Milk is also a good source of protein. Milk and milk products contain many nutrients that are key for bone health, specifically calcium, vitamin D (although not present in cheese, nor in all yogurts), protein, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B12 and zinc. Research has also shown that milk consumption has positive effects on blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes prevention, and weight management. (2) Milk also can provide a good source of protein to help toddlers meet their protein needs if they are not good meat or protein food eaters. Milk Alternatives: Some participants are not able to use milk, such as those with severe lactose intolerance, vegans, those with specific cultural practices, etc. The WIC program offers soy beverage as an alternative to milk for those participants. Recently, other non-dairy beverages have become readily available as milk alternatives, such as almond and rice beverages. Those beverages are often marketed as healthier than cow’s milk. Although those beverages can be part of a healthy diet, provide certain nutrients, and may be a better choice than other beverages (such as soda), they are not nutritionally equivalent to milk, and so are not WIC-allowed at this time.

  • Wheat and Gluten-Free Diet Jennifer Gentry, NMD 623-251-5518
    Wheat and Gluten-Free Diet Some symptoms of allergy or intolerance can be divided into three main types: “Classical” allergy: asthma, hay fever, eczema. Conditions associated with tissue damage: colitis, contact dermatitis, sinusitis, rheumatoid arthritis, miscellaneous rashes, nephritis, mouth ulcers, iritic. Symptoms associated with altered function: fatigue, depression, abdominal distension, headache, irritability, blurred vision, muscle pain, frequency, migraine, dizziness, bed-wetting, food cravings , palpitations, nausea, fluid gain, diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain, constipation, abdominal pain, insomnia, chills, hallucinations, menstrual disturbances. Gluten is the component of these grains that is often allergenic. Gluten is portion of grain which makes them sticky, thus allowing them to be kneaded into breads. Yet, there are many other delicious grains used extensively throughout the world, which do not contain gluten. The non-glutenous grains are amaranth, quinoa millet, buckwheat, rice and corn. Teff, spelt and kamut contain very low levels of gluten and are often more well tolerated by sensitive individuals.

  • Grains in Your Diet Is Gluten Bad for You?
    FOOD GLUTEN Gluten is a naturally-occurring protein found in some cereal grains. Gluten in the kernels (seeds) of grains nourishes the plant embryo GRAINS as it grows. It also contributes to the elastic nature of bread dough, giving bread its chewy texture. Wheat, barley and rye contain gluten. IN YOUR DIET Grains such as oats, corn and rice do not. Gluten is found in foods and beverages like: Bran • Breads, baked products and cereals Protective outer shell of • Pasta (made from durum wheat) kernel. High in fibre and B vitamins. • Beer (made from barley) Endosperm Wheat or parts of wheat flour are also used as thickeners, as binding Feeds a plant as it grows. agents to hold substances together and in seasonings.

Whole grains contain all 3 parts of the kernel and are the best for you nutritionally. A diet rich in whole grains has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, obesity and some forms of cancer. Whole-grain diets also help maintain regular bowel movements and promote growth of healthy bacteria in the colon. Examples of whole grains include whole wheat, barley, rolled oats, brown rice and wild rice. IS GLUTEN BAD FOR YOU? Not for the vast majority of people. People with celiac disease cannot eat gluten because it can damage their intestines, preventing them from absorbing nutrients from food.

  • Gluten-Free Food Labels
    GLUTEN-FREE DIET: FOOD LABELS Identifying Gluten in Packaged Foods The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act states ‘wheat’ must be listed on the food label when wheat is an ingredient in the item. This is not true for oats, barley and rye; food manufacturers do not have to declare oats, barley or rye in the allergen statement. If you are unsure about a product’s ingredients avoid it. Use these tips to help you make gluten-free food choices: 1. Read the allergen statement. If the product contains wheat, look for another option. 2. Read the ingredient list. Please refer the lists below for ‘gluten-free’ and ‘gluten-containing’ ingredients to decide if the food is gluten free or not. 3. Look for a statement regarding the facility in which the food was processed. If the food was processed in a factory that also processes wheat, then look for another option. Please note that it is not required to include a statement regarding the facility in which the food was produced on the label.
