Kimberly Asman Staff Writer

If you have ever gone to a grocery store, chances are that you Photos courtesy of wikipedia.org have seen something labeled with having “ancient grains” or something like flax and chia seeds. Although it is implied these foods are good for you, it isn’t often clear depending on the food products that they are in. Sometimes, they may just be shown on a label to make something sound better than it is. For example, General Mills just came out with a Cheerios variety called Cheerios with Ancient Grains. When comparing nutrition labels, this prod- uct is actually almost identical to Multi Grain Cheerios. It is help- Photo courtesy of wikipedia.org ful to know what some of these terms mean and how you can use them to maximize your health benefits instead of buying products that claim they have them but only in trivial amounts.

Ancient grains: Foods are labeled with this do so to make them sound healthier and appeal to people who want to eat as their an- cestors did. However, it does not necessarily mean that they are superior to other products that do not contain them. It is usually best to ignore this claim and turn to the ingredients on an item to see how much of these grains are really being used (the first in- gredient listed is what is used the most in the product, the second is the second highest, etc.). These grains include quinoa, which is a good source of plant-based protein, spelt, farro and kamut.

Flax seeds: Flax seeds are great sources of heart-healthy omega fatty acids, iron and fiber. They also have some vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. Flax seed is an excel- lent addition to food, but only in its ground form. Whole flaxseeds are not digested and simply pass through your system. Grinding flaxseed into a fine powder helps them to release their oils and fatty acids. A good way to incorporate these into your food is sprinkle about one or two tablespoons of ground flax seed on yogurt, into smoothies or into baked goods. Stick to a small amount because while being great for you, these seeds are high in calories. One tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with three table- spoons of water can also act as an egg replacement in baking to help make a recipe vegan. Watch out for products advertising their use of flaxseed; Often, the flaxseeds are clearly in their whole form, such as in chips or granola bars, which means you will not be getting the most nutrients out of them that you could be.

Quinoa: Of the “ancient grains,” quinoa is one that defi- nitely deserves it reputation as a healthy grain. It serves as a complete protein and also provides you with iron and fiber. One cup has about eight grams of protein and 15 percent of your daily iron requirement. Quinoa has a unique, nutty flavor and is great to pair with various cooked vegetables or chickpeas. Quinoa is cooked similarly to pasta, starting with covering the raw quinoa completely with water. Once it is brought to a boil, simmer the water until it is complete- ly absorbed by the quinoa.

What is your biggest motivation?

The root of music, especially folk music, is to bring people together. It’s my passion to cul- tivate that communal energy. You don’t need much; just a guitar and some people to come together.

How has Montclair State fostered you as an artist?

Montclair State has helped me escape my “artist’s shell” - that self-conciousness and anxi- ety that would prevent me from sharing my work. Here at school, there is always an audi- ence that wants to hear new music.

Who are your biggest inspirations?

I’m my biggest inspiration. When anyone does anything, they have to start with them- selves. I listen to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles and Biggie Smalls. All of these artists are known for their lyricism. Connecting with people is what I want to do.

What is your latest project?

I’m currently working on collecting, reorganizing and re-structuring my material. I’d like to consolidate it on some type of anthology. Right now, I like to perform what I write live, allowing the audience to tell me what to keep and what to scrap.
