  • Raw Food Pioneers
    Raw Food Pioneers The first thing you notice upon stepping inside a raw-food kitchen is how fresh it smells: gingery, lemony, herby, garlicky, cucumbery, even slightly pickled. Like walking into a zesty bowl of fruit salad or a tangy plate of bruschetta. Minus the bread, of course. You’ll never smell bread baking, bacon crisping, or mozzarella bubbling in a raw-food kitchen. Well, not unless the “bread” is dehydrated, gluten-free, and made of chia seeds and almonds; the “bacon” is actually wafer-thin, dehumidified eggplant; and the “mozzarella” is made entirely from cashew paste. Welcome to the world of vegan raw food: turn off your oven, pour dairy milk down the drain, and put down that meat cleaver. “The term ‘raw food’ refers to food that hasn’t been cooked, treated, or processed in any way above 42°C (115°F),” says Irene Arango, raw-food chef and co-owner of NAMA Foods, the Notting Hill eatery that’s spearheaded London’s raw-food scene since 2013. “Food cooked above this temperature starts to lose vital vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Our food is 100% meat-, wheat-, dairy-, and gluten-free. It’s vegan, unprocessed and – it’s worth saying – just as nature intended.” Arango began eating raw a decade ago after witnessing the remarkable effect the diet had on friends. “Back then the term ‘raw food’ was fairly uncommon, even in places like New York,” she says. “But two of my friends tried it and within six months were completely new people, with improved health and energy.

  • Tofu, a Superfood a Beloved Staple Food and Ingredient in Korea, Tofu Is Anything but Just a Substitute for Meat
    14 Out of the Office Tofu, a Superfood A beloved staple food and ingredient in Korea, tofu is anything but just a substitute for meat t’s funny how a word can change so much in connotation and ring depending Ion the place. When I lived in the United States, tofu was the stuff of tofurkey and faken (tofu turkey and tofu bacon), the weird go-to food for weirdly healthy people. Here in Korea, tofu is a mainstream favorite, a food thought of not as off-putting for being so nutritious, but as delicious. Comforting, even. Made by coagulating soymilk, which is made by soaking dry soybeans and grinding them with water, and then pressing the curds that form into soft blocks, tofu is high in protein and calcium while low in fat and carbohydrates. There is fresh tofu and processed tofu, there is soft (or silken) tofu and firm tofu. A staple food in many Asian countries, it is pronounced “doo-boo” in Korean and pre- pared in a variety of ways. Sundubu jjigae (soft tofu stew) is one of the most popular Korean dishes to use tofu as a main ingredient. It’s made with anchovy stock and ingredients including beef or pork, red pepper flakes, mushrooms and short neck clams. It’s topped, when sizzling, with a raw egg. Another favorite is dubu kimchi (tofu with stir-fried kimchi). Pair a square of tofu with a bit of stir-fried kimchi and the result is an intense flavor mix of fresh and fried, neutral and spicy, white and red.

  • Quinoa Rides the 'Superfoods' Wave Once-Obscure Peruvian Seed 'Is a Perfect Collision of Trends'
    7/10/2014 Quinoa Rides the 'Superfoods,' 'Gluten-Free' Waves - WSJ BUSINESS Quinoa Rides the 'Superfoods' Wave Once-Obscure Peruvian Seed 'Is a Perfect Collision of Trends' By TONY C. DREIBUS July 9, 2014 1:22 p.m. ET Quinoa is a titan of the so-called superfoods. iStockPhoto For most of the three decades that Ancient Harvest has been selling quinoa, business was relatively tame as it supplied boutique supermarkets and health-food stores. That changed abruptly about five years ago. Major retailers started seeking out the brand—and sales took off. Today, Ancient Harvest quinoa products—which now include quinoa linguine, quinoa mac and cheese, and quinoa hot cereal flakes, among other iterations—are sold at general retailers like Walgreens and Piggly Wiggly. Quinoa Corp., the brand's owner, expects sales this year to double from their 2012 level, says Chief Executive Blake Waltrip, declining to disclose actual figures. Early on, "we were a small company that had no money to spend on marketing. We had to count on http://online.wsj.com/articles/quinoa-rides-the-superfoods-gluten-free-waves-1404926555#printMode 1/5 7/10/2014 Quinoa Rides the 'Superfoods,' 'Gluten-Free' Waves - WSJ consumers to come across this obscure grain," he said. Now, retailers all "want to be part of the trend." Four 'Superfoods' Quinoa is a titan of the so-called superfoods, a loosely defined collection of produce that advocates claim have extraordinary nutritional benefits, whether it be high levels of antioxidants or omega-3s. Quinoa is lauded for its protein, fiber, iron and other minerals.

  • Plant-Forward Opportunity
    PLANT-FORWARD OPPORTUNITY A Datassential report in collaboration with The Culinary Institute of America Menu makers need to look beyond burgers to see plant-forward eating trends ripe for innovation. The growth in menu penetration for burger substitutes has broken new ground for plant-based alternatives. But don’t let the popularity of those items obscure something important: Most consumers eat meat, and if they dial back their meat consumption, they’re more likely to go the flexitarian route than to go all the way to a vegetarian or a vegan diet. Plant-forward is a trend The Culinary Institute of America has been tracking ahead of its Menus of Change conference and the recent release of its “Plant-Forward by the Numbers” report. Given the current state of the industry, the goal is now to understand: how is this consumer macro-trend tracking five months into the pandemic? The result of CIA’s research and this study is a big-tent approach that recognizes vegetarian and vegan preferences, with an acknowledgement of an even bigger opportunity for change: the food industry can build on the already shifting preferences of a larger part of the population wanting to eat less meat and fewer animal-sourced foods, without eliminating those foods altogether. There is plenty of demand to meet just by developing flexitarian menus. Consumers like having alternatives, and plant-forward items serve this purpose more holistically than vegetarian or vegan offerings by themselves. So how can foodservice leaders pick the low-hanging fruit? Read on. PLANT-FORWARD For this report, plant-forward indicates a style of cooking and eating that emphasizes and celebrates, but is not limited to, plant-based foods.
