  • Low Potassium Diet
    Low Potassium Diet What is potassium? Potassium is a mineral that helps your nerves and muscles work well You may need to have less potassium in your diet if you are taking certain medications, have problems with your kidneys or have a medical condition that lowers your need for potassium. What is a normal potassium level? A normal blood potassium level for adults is 3.5-5.2mmol/L The potassium level in your blood will be monitored by your doctor What foods are high in potassium? Almost all foods contain potassium, but some contain much more than others. Foods high in potassium include: Certain fruits, vegetables, and juices Whole grain bread and pasta, brown and long grain rice, whole grain cereal and bran products Milk products Bean and legumes Nuts and seeds Some processed/seasoned/enhanced/frozen meat, poultry, and fish products How can I control my potassium levels? Limit and avoid foods high in potassium (see tables on the following page) Do not use salt substitutes such as potassium chloride instead of salt Remember that serving size matters. Even low potassium foods can make your potassium level high if you are having too many of them. Speak with your Registered Dietitian about the number of servings that is right for you Pay attention to cooking methods as this can affect the amount of potassium in some foods. For example: o ½ cup of raw spinach will shrink to 1 Tbsp when cooked. Therefore eating ½ cup of cooked spinach will have a much higher potassium content than ½ cup of raw spinach.

  • Forage for Age(S) Field Notes on the Fiddlehead Fern
    Forage For Age(s) Field Notes on the fiddlehead fern By Debbie Liang April-June 2016 First Impressions April 6th, 2016 9:50pm As my grade nine English teacher once said, everyone judges a book by its cover despite the popular saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. That was exactly what I did today when our class was officially introduced the “Reading HABITAT Writing” assignment. I judged the fiddlehead fern first by its name, then by its appearance. I was always a plant-lover. Therefore, when I picked the fiddlehead fern from the authoritative little box Mr. Guraliuk was holding, I was delighted. Ferns are so graceful-looking (they remind me of ballerinas dancing in the rain) while fiddles look royal and charming. I imagined a typical fern, with rows of long, slender leaves (pigment green) radiating from a slightly twisted stem, sort of like the outline of a fiddle. I did not imagine a plant that looks like a shrivelled up caterpillar, or a dying, poisonous millipede, in harlequin –creepy—green. I also did not imagine that such an alarming-looking plant is served commonly in cuisines; the first images from Google were food images. My body suffered a mini electrocution from the shock; the fiddlehead fern looks bad compared to my overly fantasized version. The uncomfortable feeling quickly passed, however, as I eyed the fiddlehead fern closely. If this plant was a person, what kind of person would it be? Tsundere. The fiddlehead fern is a tsundere. There is no English equivalent for the Japanese word, but a tsundere is a person who is initially cold and steely, but gradually shows more of his/her warmer nature towards a person (usually someone close or the main character of a story).

  • Fiddlehead Fern Day!!
    Farm to School Month – Week Three: Indigenous Food Focus Fiddlehead Fern Day!! Many thanks go out to Melissa Chlupach, Regional Healthcare Dietitian with NANA Management Services, for all her help with all the information she has provided me for each Wednesday this month celebrating Indigenous Foods We Eat! All information I have listed below is based on the materials she has passed along. Thank you, Melissa!! FIDDLEHEADS Let’s learn about fiddlehead ferns today!! Why take a whole day to look at fiddlehead ferns? Well, fiddlehead ferns can be found from the Brooks Range southward toward the Aleutian Islands, and on the Alaska Panhandle and something THAT important needs to be shared. The Roots of Fiddlehead History • Fiddlehead ferns have been harvested by Yup’ik, Dena’ina and Koyukon Athabascan, and Tlingit peoples. • The fiddlehead fern, (or the young croziers – shoots of the ferns), is not a species, rather it represents the point of maturity of the plant. • Fiddlehead is the name given to the coiled frond of the fern that has been harvested at its youthful stage of growth. • Considered an important food of the Alaska Native people as a spring harvest rich in vitamins A and C. Let’s Move into the Science of Fiddleheads Pronunciation: ˈfi-dᵊl-ˌhed ˈfərn Yup’ik name: cetuguar (aq), nengqaaq, ciilavik Dena’ina name: elnen tselts ‘egha, uh ts ‘egha Koyukon name: tlaa edenaalkkede Tlingit name: K’wálx Family: Onocleaceae (Ostrich fern) Athyriaceae (Lady fern) Genus: Matteuccia (Ostrich fern) Athyrium (Lady fern) Species: M. struthiopteris (Ostrich fern) A. filix-femina (Lady fern) The name “fiddlehead” or “fiddlehead fern” can apply to several species of edible ferns that have just emerged in the spring.

All activity measurements 22 were below governmental limits for human health. 137Cs activity increased to the north in 23 mineral soils and fungal samples, while 134Cs activity increased to the south in surface litter 24 samples. Chanterelles did not significantly bioconcentrate either radioisotope, but chanterelle 25 activity levels were correlated with those of mineral soil. Activity levels demonstrated a high 26 degree of variability, even in samples from the same site. In most cases the level of 137Cs 27 activity was substantially higher than that of 134Cs, suggesting that 137Cs was present in the 28 environment prior to the Fukushima release.
