    { FOOD & DRINK } 'NEW FLAVOR' OUR FOOT: FRY SAUCE, A REGIONAL CULINARY DELIGHT, IS IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT By JENNIFER K. BAUER • [email protected] he ketchup company Heinz sparked an international internee temper tantrum lase month when it announced the potential launch of a new product: Mayochup. Heinz plugged ir as a new thing, a pre-made combo of ketchup and mayonnaise. Those of us in the western United Scares know it's norT a new thing. Ir's our beloved fry sauce. Internee outrage poured our. There were those appalled at the idea of mixing ketchup and mayo. Others cried cultural appropriation. A Washington Pose srory listed multiple Latin American countries laying claim to the invention of fry sauce, &om Argentina where its legend begins in the 1920s as "salsa golf," to Puerto Rico, whose residents call it "my-oh-ketchup." In Costa Rica, Colombia, and Venezuela it's called "salsa rosada" or "pink sauce." Germany has a version called rott weiss, which translates to "red-white." But probably those who cried fouJ loudest were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saines, who widely uphold &y sauce as a Mormon invention. According to this version of the origin story, the condiment was PUBLIC DOMAIN invented by a Salt Lake City chef and Mormon named Don Carlos Joseph Smith receiving the golden plates. Edwards. Edwards got his start selling burgers at a stand at a Pioneer Day celebrarion in 1924 (Pioneer Day being the official Utah holiday commemorating the arrival of Brigham Young and the first Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley).

  • Health Benefits of Purple Corn (Zea Mays L.) Phenolic Compounds
    Health Benefits of Purple Corn (Zea mays L.) Phenolic Compounds Fei Lao, Gregory T. Sigurdson, and M. Monica´ Giusti Abstract: Purple corn (Zea mays L.), a grain with one of the deepest shades in the plant kingdom, has caught the attention of the food industry as it could serve as a source for alternatives to synthetic colorants. Also being rich in phenolic compounds with potential health-promoting properties, purple corn is becoming a rising star in the novel ingredients market. Although having been widely advertised as a “healthy” food, the available information on purple corn health benefits has not yet been well reviewed and summarized. In this review, we present compositional information focused on the potential functional phenolic compounds correlated to health-promoting effects. Studies evaluating potential health-benefitting properties, including in vitro tests, cell models, animal and human trials, are also discussed. This paper emphasizes research using purple corn, or its extracts, but some other plant sources with similar phenolic composition to purple corn are also mentioned. Dosage and toxicity of purple corn studies are also reviewed. Purple corn phenolic compounds have been shown in numerous studies to have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and anti-angiogenesis properties. They were also found to ameliorate lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, based on their strong antioxidant power involving biochemical regulation amelioration. With promising evidence from cell and animal studies, this rich source of health-promoting compounds warrants additional attention to better understand its potential contributions to human health. Keywords: anthocyanins, antioxidants, bioactive compounds, dosage, phenolics Introduction orant has been increasing around the world in recent decades, as Purple corn (Zea mays L.), also known as purple maize, is observed by the increasing importation of purple corn and color native to the Andes region of what is now Peru.

  • Mazamorra Morada Featured on October 12, 2019 for “Salsa Con Salsa” Demo with Chef Daniela Hurtado
    Mazamorra Morada Featured on October 12, 2019 for “Salsa con Salsa” demo with Chef Daniela Hurtado Mazamorra Morada Recipe courtesy of Chef Daniela Hurtado-Castro Yield: 4 cups Ingredients Chica Morada 2 pounds dried purple corn kernels 12 cups water 3 cinnamon sticks 4 cloves 1 apple, cut in chunks 1 pineapple core (you will use the pulp for the mazamorra) Mazamorra 4 cups chicha morada ¼ cup chuño (Peruvian potato starch) ¾ cup water 8 dried and pitted prunes 1 cup Granny Smith apples, diced 1 cup pineapple, diced 2 limes, juiced 1 cup sugar Cinnamon powder for garnish Directions To prepare the mazamorra, you will need to prepare chicha morada first. This will be the base for the preparation of this Peruvian dessert. Place all ingredients in a pot over high heat. When the liquid begins to boil, reduce to a simmer, partially covered, for 2 hours. Strain the liquid into an open container and let cool. Store refrigerated in an airtight container or freeze it for future use. If using the chicha as a refresher, season with sugar and lime juice to taste. Pour the four cups of the chicha morada into a saucepan with the prunes, diced fruit and sugar. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and reduce to a simmer. In a small bowl, sift the chuño, add the water, and whisk until a smooth paste is formed. Add the chuño paste to the saucepan, keep at a simmer, and stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Turn off heat, stir in the juice of the limes and serve in ramekins or cups.
