DreamReader.net History – Beginner level The History of Sushi Sushi was first made over 2000 years ago in Southeast Asia. Back then, people used to put salt on the fish to keep it from going bad. They would put the salted fish in a container with rice. After a few months, the fish could be eaten but the rice was thrown away. This sushi became popular all over China and it was introduced into Japan. The Japanese preferred to eat rice together with fish, so they ate the rice and fish together while the fish was still raw. Later in the Edo period, Japanese people started making special rice for sushi. They combined rice with vinegar and vegetables. At the beginning of the 19th century, food stalls started selling sushi in Tokyo. It was very popular. Then in the 20th century, chefs from Tokyo started moving to other parts of Japan. They helped to make sushi popular all over Japan. Recently sushi has become a popular food in many other countries. Sushi is now eaten every day by millions of people all over the world.

Value of Wholegrain Rice in a Healthy Human Nutrition
agriculture Review Value of Wholegrain Rice in a Healthy Human Nutrition Marina Carcea Research Centre on Food and Nutrition (CREA-AN), Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA), Via Ardeatina, 546, 00178 Rome, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-06-5149-4429 Abstract: Rice is one of the most widely consumed cereals in the world. The husks of harvested, unprocessed rice are not digested by humans and need to be removed to obtain edible grains, whereas the bran can be partially (brown rice) or totally removed (white rice). Brown rice is a wholegrain cereal and, as such, is known to have beneficial effects on human health. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of whole grains can reduce the risk of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer. However, white rice is preferred for reasons connected to appearance, taste, palatability, ease of cooking, tradition, safety, shelf-life, and lack of awareness about its benefits and availability. In this review, the latest scientific reports regarding the nutritional composition of brown rice and the evolution of the technology for its production will be briefly reviewed together with research on nutritional implications of brown rice consumption also in relation to cancer development in humans. A specific chapter is devoted to pigmented rice which, thanks to its composition, has attracted the growing interest of consumers worldwide. The need for further studies to help promote the consumption of wholegrain rice are also discussed. Keywords: brown rice; nutritional quality; brown rice technology; pigmented rice; glycemic re- sponse; cancer Citation: Carcea, M.

The History of Nihonbashi Uogashi
— Unearthing the Four-Hundred-Year History of a Wholesale Fish Market — The History of Nihonbashi Uogashi Part 2: The Popularity of Fish in Edo By Issei Tomioka A book titled, Edo Hanjoki, by Terakado Seiken (1796–1868) that described the manners and customs of the people of Edo near the end of the Edo period (1603–1867), notes that the people loved fish so much that they said their bones would fall apart if they went without fish for three days. Several tens of thousands of fish were consumed each day. This book also depicted, in a humorous man- ner, the dynamic way in which the Uogashi, or wholesale fish market, handled their sea of fish. Originally, the Uogashi began as a way to supply fish to the shogunate. As it developed, however, the fish-eating culture of Edo flourished. Let’s take a look at the fish-eating culture that bloomed in Edo through events that took place in the Uogashi. Tokugawa Ieyasu Loved have been, “Bring me good fish.” The establishment of the Fish Uogashi as a way to supply fish to the shogunate may have Shortly after Mori Magoemon’s been the result of Ieyasu’s fondness for fish. group of fishermen from Tsukuda Illustrations village, on the northern shore of The Uncompensated Supply of Fish to the Kazan Mori (Property of the Wholesales Osaka bay, started net fishing in the Shogunate Co-operative of Tokyo Fish Market) sea near Edo, they began catching a How was fish supplied to the shogunate?

Menu Is Over 90% Plant-Based Because the Plant-Based Diet Is the Healthiest and Most Planet-Friendly One
THE FIRST SUSTAINABLE SUSHI RESTAURANT ON EARTH Supernatural Bull$#!* Powers Bun, Hey—you run an amazing place! You know I’m a 100% straight shooter, so you can count on it when I tell you that the VERY worst thing I can say about tonight is that I wouldn’t have served the catfish last—and I had to beat my brains to come up with even that. Every single dish was fantastic. I’d be at a loss to tell anyone what to order. My advice to friends (and I will direct as many of them as I can your way) will simply be to put themselves in the hands of the great chef. It was wonderful to see you in person, and even better to see you working in a business where you can put your supernatural bullshitting powers to work for you. When I get back to LA, I’ll break out the pencil and paper and make you something suitable for framing. Jay Lender Writer and Director, Sponge Bob Square Pants ABOUT MIYA’S In 1982, Momma opened Connecticut’s first sushi bar. This restaurant was the culmination of her life’s ambition. My grandfather had owned many mountains from which he sold lumber to companies such as Mitsubishi, and my mother dreamed of doing business with him when she was old enough. In the 1950s, little girls from the countryside in Japan weren’t encouraged to pursue careers in business. Grandpa would sigh and compliment her, “If only you were a boy, you would make a great businessman.” She wished that things were different; it wasn’t fair being a girl.

“Sustainable Sushi Is the Industry's Future” June 18. 2010 Canada's
“Sustainable sushi is the industry’s future ” June 18. 2010 Canada’s largest sushi company is celebrating International Sushi Day, June 18, by announcing its commitment to protecting the world’s oceans in partnership with SeaChoice, a Canadian sustainable seafood program delivered by the David Suzuki Foundation, Living Oceans Society, Ecology Action Centre, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and the Sierra Club BC. “We are delighted to partner with David Suzuki and the SeaChoice program on our commitment to become the first sustainable sushi company in Canada,” said Carl Sparkes, President of Bento Nouveau. “As leaders in the sushi category, we feel strongly about supporting positive change in sourcing and harvesting our oceans resources.” Bento Nouveau is taking a multi-pronged approach to its sustainable seafood initiative. Steps include: - Already switching 65% of their product offering to sustainable fish and seafood including multiple varieties of California Rolls and the replacement of red-ranked tuna with sustainable Albacore tuna. Products that contain sustainable fish and seafood will be identified by a SeaChoice sticker. - Committing to aggressively expanding Bento’s procurement of sustainable sources of seafood; with the goal of becoming completely sustainable by 2012. - Working with suppliers, partners, employees, customers, and members of the conservation community to ensure a productive, sustainable future for both wild and farmed seafood products. “In doing this, we are responding to consumer values. Research shows us that people want to buy seafood that is caught or farmed in ways that support the long-term health of stocks and of the oceans,” said Mr. Sparkes. Dr. David Suzuki praised the sustainable sushi initiative and thanked Bento for what they were doing to get people to change their direction and make better choices.
