    Grain a Day @ CIMMYT #grainaday grainaday?Whatis #Globally, an estimated 800 million people do not get enough food to eat and more than 2 billion suffer from micronutrient defi ciency, or “hidden hunger,” according to U.N. food agencies. As staple foods, maize and wheat provide vital nutrients and health benefi ts, making up close to two-thirds of the world’s food energy intake, and contributing 55 to 70 percent of the total calories in the diets of people living in developing countries, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. Scientists at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) are working to ensure the ongoing production of high-yielding, disease-resistant varieties of maize and wheat to improve both the quantity and nutritional quality of these crops. These measures include biofortifi cation, a process by which scientists combine conventional plant breeding and lab work to improve the micronutrient content of maize and wheat. At CIMMYT, this process is being used to boost pro-vitamin A and zinc levels in maize and iron and zinc concentrations in wheat. Boosting the micronutrient content of crops through biofortifi cation can help tackle hidden hunger, simultaneously improving human health and economic growth leading to improved international development. In order to shed light on the important role maize and wheat play in global nutrition, CIMMYT celebrated the dietary value of these food staples throughout the month of June 2015. We asked you to send in your favorite maize and wheat-based recipes

  • Participatory Methods to Identify Perceived Healthy and Sustainable
    nutrients Article Participatory Methods to Identify Perceived Healthy and Sustainable Traditional Culinary Preparations across Three Generations of Adults: Results from Chile’s Metropolitan Region and Region of La Araucanía Rebecca Kanter * and Mariana León Villagra Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile, Independencia 1027, Santiago 8380453, Chile; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +56-22977-3224 Received: 18 January 2020; Accepted: 5 February 2020; Published: 14 February 2020 Abstract: Traditional diets reflect different cultures and geographical locations, and may provide healthy diet options. In Chile, it is unknown whether traditional culinary preparations are still remembered, let alone consumed. Therefore, we adapted methods to identify traditional culinary preparations for healthy and sustainable dietary interventions. In Chile’s Metropolitan Region and the Region of La Araucanía, we collected data on the variety of traditional diets through cultural domain analyses: direct participant observation (n = 5); free listing in community workshops (n = 10); and pile sort activities within semi-structured individual interviews (n = 40). Each method was stratified by age (25–45 year, 46–65 year and 65 year) and ethnic group (first nations or not). About 600 ≥ preparations and single-ingredient foods were identified that differed both in frequency and variety by region. The foods most consumed and liked (n = 24–27) were ranked in terms of sustainability for public nutrition purposes. Methods originally designed to collect information about plants of indigenous peoples can be extended to collect data on the variety of existing traditional culinary preparations, globally. Context, both geographical and cultural, matters for understanding food variety, and its subsequent use in the design of healthy and sustainable diet interventions.

  • A La Carte Menu Our Story
    A LA CARTE MENU OUR STORY A cultural blend of Mediterranean and indigenous cooking, Argentine food has a distinctly European heritage. Early explorers brought with them cattle, poultry and vegetables in their provisions integrating with the local ingredients. Even the quintessentially Argentine dish, the empanada, was a gift from Spain - a beef and vegetable filled pastry, baked in the oven and eaten as a snack or starter for any meal. The expansive landscape of the country holds delights of its own in the rich grasses of the Pampas, ideal for cattle grazing and providing Argentina’s most famous contribution to world cuisine, beef. Chorizo, lomo, cuadril or ancho – however you like your steak cut, there’s only one way to cook it and that’s over an open flame. From the smoky campsite of the gauchos to the kitchens of the most sought after restaurants and chefs, the asado (barbecue) is a permanent fixture on their menu. Eaten with friends and family, the traditional Sunday asado can feature anything from sweetbreads to sausages, beef ribs to offal – but it’s the steak that remains the star of the show. Served hot and directly from the flames, sprinkled with salt, topped with chimichurri and served with a glass of Malbec. Gaucho restaurants celebrate a milestone 25th anniversary this year, having matured into a much-loved collection of special places to eat, known for the finest Argentine steak and wine in the UK with locations all across London and in Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham. This menu features interpretations of dishes which have been loved across the company for many years and are considered classics.
