The grocery store offers remarkably fewer options for customers compared to other major supermarkets, and it’s consistently ranked highest for customer satisfaction.
WSJ’s Jaewon Kang breaks down why Trader Joe’s small selection of private label brands and trendy products, like orange chicken and everything but the bagel seasoning, keeps shoppers coming back for more. Scientists say sensual discovery could be used to design low-fat product that mimics feel of high fat.
The irresistible melt-in-the-mouth sensation of chocolate comes down to the way it lubricates the tongue, according to scientists. A study investigated the physical process by which a solid square of chocolate morphs into a smooth emulsion. It found that chocolate released a fatty film that coats the tongue, giving a smooth sensation for the entire time it is in the mouth. Dr Siavash Soltanahmadi, the study’s lead researcher at the University of Leeds, said the findings could be used to design low-fat chocolate that mimicked the sensation of a high-fat product. “We believe that a next generation of chocolate can be developed that offers the feel and sensation of high-fat chocolate yet is a healthier choice,” she said. Soltanahmadi and colleagues set out to investigate texture sensation using a luxury brand of dark chocolate and an artificial tongue. The device has a 3D-printed tongue-like texture, is kept at 37C (98.6F) and powered to move like a human tongue. They found that soon after the chocolate is placed in the mouth, the tongue becomes coated in a fatty layer, which depends on the fat content of the chocolate. After that, solid cocoa particles are released and they become important in terms of the tactile sensation, the researchers found. “We are showing that the fat layer needs to be on the outer layer of the chocolate, this matters the most, followed by effective coating of the cocoa particles by fat, these help to make chocolate feel so good,” she said. This implies that the fat deeper inside the chocolate plays a limited role in contributing to sensation and could be reduced without having an impact on how the chocolate feels in the mouth. The researchers suggested chocolate bars with a fat content gradient or a low-fat bar, coated in high-fat chocolate, might work well as a healthier alternative. Soltanahmadi said creating healthier chocolate was a challenge for the food industry because low-fat versions were not always as appetising. “Our research opens the possibility that manufacturers can intelligently design dark chocolate to reduce the overall fat content,” she said. “We believe dark chocolate can be produced in a gradient-layered architecture with fat covering the surface of chocolates and particles to offer the sought after self-indulging experience without adding too much fat inside the body of the chocolate.” The researchers suggested similar techniques could be applied to help design healthier versions of other foods that transform from a solid to a liquid in the mouth, such as ice-cream or cheese. The findings are published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Source: The Guardian Here are the popular flavors we think will be big this year, plus recipes to try these trends at home.
We're ready to say hello to summer—and with the new season comes lots of delicious things to eat and drink. Trending flavor profiles will draw inspiration from the garden—from fresh fruits and vegetables to herbs and edible flowers. When it comes to popular beverage trends, easy day-drinking is the name of the game. Think: low-ABV drinks, nonalcoholic spirits and a bumper crop of new canned cocktails that are easy to throw in the cooler for a day at the beach or a summer barbecue. 1. Passion FruitPassion fruit is having a moment in the summer sun—from White Claw's new Passion Fruit hard seltzer to Vonbee Passion Fruit Honey Puree, a Korean product gaining popularity in the United States. On Google Trends, search queries for "passion fruit honey puree" saw a 1,050% increase in the last 12 months, as shoppers tried to track down the popular product sold at some Costco locations. Passion fruit lends tart tropical flavors to drinks and desserts. My personal favorite is passion fruit puree mixed into Ellenos Greek Yogurt (a Seattle specialty sold in retail locations nationwide). In April, views of articles and recipes related to passion fruit grew 1,469% on EatingWell.com compared to last year. Try the trend at home: Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink 2. Cucumber EverythingWhat makes a recipe go viral? Here at EatingWell, anything with cucumbers, apparently. Cucumbers are a crunchy, refreshing summer vegetable. They're readily available, relatively inexpensive and offer some health benefits too. Perhaps that's why whenever we publish a new cucumber recipe, it just takes off. Case in point: we refer to this as *the* Cucumber Sandwich here at EatingWell, because it went instantly viral as soon as we published it. Who knew? Maybe cucumber sandwiches have a certain nostalgia people are drawn to right now. As one reviewer says, "My very British grandmother used to make cucumber sandwiches for my sisters and me along with 'nursery tea.' Thank you for the reminder. Your version is quite nice and a lovely memory." In April, views of articles and recipes related to cucumbers overall grew 180% on EatingWell.com compared to last year. Views of cucumber salads grew 237%. Try it at home: Cucumber Sandwich 3. Baby Bok ChoyTwo things we know about EatingWell cooks: they're busy and they love their veggies. They are always on the lookout for simple recipes that let the fresh produce shine, dressed up in a flavorful sauce that cooks up fast. So what veggies are trending this year? Baby bok choy, for one. In April, interest in baby bok choy grew 176% on EatingWell.com compared to last year.Baby bok choy cooks up in minutes, making it a great easy weeknight side. It's also loaded with nutrients, like its cruciferous cousins—Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale. Try the trend at home: Grilled Baby Bok Choy with Soy-Lime Dressing 4. MatchaMatcha is a finely milled green tea powder with deep cultural roots in China and Japan dating back centuries. The tea has a distinct bright green color and is traditionally served whipped into hot water as a beverage. Matcha has gained popularity in the U.S. in recent years, showing up as flavoring in popular menu items, in food products like latte mixes and snacks like Pocky and Kit Kat, and even in deodorant. In April, interest in matcha grew 376% on EatingWell.com compared to the previous year. Learn more about the history, cultural context and different types of matcha powder available on the market today, plus our favorite brands, in our matcha powder taste test guide. Try it at home: Matcha Castella Cake 5. LavenderPerhaps the elevated levels of stress we've all been facing over the last couple of years have us turning to recipes and ingredients that soothe. Lavender lends a comforting nostalgia to some dishes. It's commonly included as an ingredient in herbes de Provence blends. The herb has calming medicinal properties as well. In aromatherapy, lavender has been shown to help reduce stress. Lavender-infused drinks and desserts are rising in popularity—from cheesecake to lemonade and cocktails. Interest in lavender as an ingredient grew 514% on EatingWell.com compared to last year. Try it at home: Lavender Bee's Knees 6. HibiscusWidely available in many countries in the form of an herbal tea and an ingredient to cook with, hibiscus lends a tart, floral flavor and gorgeous crimson color to beverages and dishes like tacos. "I freaking love hibiscus tea," says Carolyn Malcoun, EatingWell's senior food features editor. "I had it in Jamaica forever ago and it stuck with me. Ever since, I make hibiscus tea and chill it for summer drinking. It's so refreshing and so pretty." Drinking hibiscus tea is not only delicious, it has health benefits too. It contains anthocyanins and other antioxidants that may help to lower blood pressure. We're seeing hibiscus appear in more and more beauty products for its purported anti-aging properties, and as a flavoring in beverage products like Q Mixers' Ginger Beer and Sorel, a hibiscus-based liqueur. Note: For safety, it's best to consume prepared hibiscus products rather than picking your own, and to consume it in moderation. Hibiscus may be toxic to pets. And hibiscus (and many other herbal teas) are not recommended during pregnancy. Try it at home: Hibiscus-Pomegranate Iced Tea 7. Ice Cream, ReinventedThis summer, expect all your ice cream wishes to come true, and then some. We're seeing next-level ice cream with flavors from everything bagel seasoning to mango sticky rice and more. Ice cream sandwiches are having a moment, too. In April, traffic on ice cream sandwich recipes and articles grew 136% since last year on EatingWell.com. The plant-based ice cream trend we've seen in the freezer aisle will make its way to more ice cream shops. Interest in dairy-free recipes grew 22% on EatingWell.com in April from the previous year. Try it at home: No-Churn Ice Cream with Cardamom & Saffron 8. EdamameSoybeans are an affordable, versatile plant-based protein option—a 1-cup serving contains 18 grams! Soy sometimes gets a bad rap when it comes to health, but it actually contains some beneficial properties for your heart and brain. Eating plant-based protein in place of meat is better for the planet too. As Malcoun reported earlier this year, "If Americans swapped plant proteins for 25% of their beef, pork and poultry, we could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 82 million metric tons annually." Interest in articles and recipes related to edamame jumped 141% last month on EatingWell.com, compared to the prior year. We think the trend will keep going as consumers look for plant-based protein alternatives. It's so convenient, too. Keep a package of shelled edamame in your freezer for a last-minute meal idea to top your salad this summer. I also like to keep frozen edamame in the shell on hand for an easy snack kids love. Try it at home: Kale & Avocado Salad with Blueberries & Edamame 9. Canned CocktailsWhen it comes to popular drinks trends, expect to see more canned cocktails in the cooler. On Google Trends, search queries for "canned margarita brands" saw a 700% increase in the last 12 months, while interest in "best canned cocktails" is up 850%. If you think you're not a canned cocktail fan, this is a category worth exploring again. More and more distilleries and spirit companies are releasing their own canned cocktails, which mean better quality and more variety. Find everything from classic gin and tonics and mojitos to more complex flavor profiles like Drifter Cocktail Co's passion fruit caipirinha, Hunni Soju's new sparkling cocktails, featuring flavors like yuzu and elderflower, and the Long Drink, a Finnish gin soda with citrus flavors. 10. Low-ABV & Nonalcoholic DrinksPeople are drinking less alcohol than they were in the early days of the pandemic. Some are cutting it out altogether, while others are sober-curious. Whether you're cutting back here and there, like trying Dry January, or choosing options with less alcohol (low-ABV), you're not alone! In April, year-over-year interests in mocktails and nonalcoholic beverages grew 40% and 41% respectively. Make sure to toss some NA beers into the cooler this summer for easy day-drinking. Athletic Brewing Co.'s Cerveza Atletica is crisp and clean—just the thing to crack open in the hot summer sun. Or if you are a seltzer fan who adores craft beer, give Hoplark's sparkling waters a try. You can shop by your favorite hop for a refreshing sip. Try it at home: Mocktail Mojitos Source: EatingWell Reviewed by Dietitian Victoria Seaver, M.S., RD Just like you, I enjoy Italian food as well. Going out to eat or at home, Italian is always a great way to go. According to the Chef's Pencil, here are the Top 10 most popular Italian dishes: 10. Bagna Cauda 9. Ribollita 8. Prosciutto di Parma (Parma Ham) 7. Gelato (Ice cream) 6. Lasagne 5. Pesto alla Genovese 4. Gnocchi 3. Pasta 2. Pizza 1. Risotto If you had to pick one of these dishes which one would be your favorite? Toss up between pizza and pasta? Ya, I think I'm in that same thought. I would go with pizza and pasta as my two favorites off this list. Recently it came to my attention that a new article from New Jersey Digest had selected its choice for "Best New Italian Restaurant" in the Garden State. The choice, according to an article by Peter Candia, is a new Italian restaurant Fiorentini and is located in the heart of Rutherford, New Jersey. According to the restaurant website "The Italian word for 'citizens of Florence,' Fiorentini's cookery and venue conjure up a contemporary eatery in the heart of Rutherford. Chef Antonio’s menu concentrates on using premium seasonal quality vegetables, sustainable seafood, and the freshest herbs, fitting flawlessly into the modern, light-filled interiors." In the NJ Digest piece "Chef and owner Antonio De Ieso— along with wife and general manager Brenda De Ieso— carefully curate every little thing from the water glasses made from repurposed wine bottles to the handmade pastas and delicately cooked seafood. It’s cliche to say, but the beauty is in the details— artistry that transcends even the best restaurants that the Garden State has to offer." This sounds good to me and in full disclosure, I have not been to Fiorentini but after reading about this new Italian restaurant, it is on my list of places to visit in the New Year.

These nutrient-dense foods can help you stay warm no matter the season. The reasons you're feeling cold may not always be obvious. Often, feeling cold no matter the temperature outside can be a sign of an underlying condition, whereas other times, feelings of coldness are related to body size. No matter the cause, it can be uncomfortable to regularly feel cold, and turning to food to help you stay warm can be a good solution. Why Are You Always Cold? Regularly feeling cold can be a symptom of some illnesses or of a chronic condition that requires treatment. Working with a primary health care provider to help you identify why you're always cold will help ensure you receive proper treatment. Here are five reasons you may be feeling cold.
Illness with Fever A high body temperature can result in feeling chilled, caused by muscles contracting and relaxing as a way to stay warm, per MedlinePlus. Running a fever is a symptom of many types of illnesses and requires treatment to address the disease as well as the fever. Poor Circulation Some conditions cause poor circulation, which may result in feeling cold, especially in the extremities like hands, fingers, feet and toes. Peripheral artery disease, diabetes and Raynaud's disease are just a few conditions that may result in poor circulation, per Harvard Medical School. Many conditions that cause poor circulation require medical treatment. Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid doesn't produce enough hormones, per the National Institutes of Health. Inadequate hormone production leads to slowed bodily processes, including metabolism. One of the many symptoms of hypothyroidism is regularly feeling cold. Hypothyroidism requires a medical diagnosis and treatment, including medication and/or surgery. Low Body Weight Low body weight is another potential reason why someone might feel cold on a regular basis. People with lower body weights have a lower basal metabolic rate, which may explain why they feel cold on a regular basis, per a 2017 study published in the Journal of Thermal Biology. Iron-Deficiency Anemia According to the NIH, iron-deficiency anemia is a condition where the body doesn't produce enough red blood cells due to inadequate iron. As a result, oxygen transport is negatively impacted, and those with anemia may feel tired, short of breath or cold. Iron-deficiency anemia can have multiple causes, so a medical diagnosis is required. Additionally, supplemental treatment is often required to ensure iron levels return to normal. Best Foods and Drinks to Keep You Warm What you eat and drink can help you warm up when you're cold. Choosing high-temperature foods or those that generate heat, like peppers, can help to up your body temperature. "When you're cold, your best bet to warm up is to seek out foods that are not only physically hot but also have warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and cardamom," says Tori Martinet, M.S., RD, a culinary and intuitive-eating dietitian. Reach for these foods the next time you're feeling cold. Oatmeal Oatmeal is a fiber-rich whole grain that can be eaten hot or cold, though it's best to prepare oatmeal hot when you're looking for food to warm you up. "A hot breakfast in the morning is a nice way to warm up and wake up," says Ashley Kitchens, M.P.H., RDN, a plant-based dietitian and owner of Plant Centered Nutrition. "I recommend an oatmeal bowl with fresh fruit, or quinoa porridge with nuts and dried fruit." Broth Sipping on warm broth is an excellent way to help you warm up when you're feeling cold. The physical heat of the broth will warm your hands if sipping from a mug, and if you choose to add more spices to your broth, you're likely to get the extra boost of warmth from the spicy flavors. Hot PeppersHot peppers are a good choice if you enjoy staying warm with spicy food. "If you can stand the heat, I recommend hot peppers, whether that's cayenne, Calabrian chili or gochugaru, as these agents of spice can help generate body heat," says Martinet. "These ingredients are so versatile you can use them in a lot of different dishes across varied cuisines, so you'll always be warm and never bored." Soup or Curry Warm soups and curries are similar to broth because they can offer both physical heat and heat from warming spices. "The foods I turn to most often for warming up are definitely soups and curries because you're consuming the spices whole rather than steeped and getting a super-cozy meal on the table at the same time," says Martinet. If you prefer to avoid spicy foods, stick to less spicy soups like Slow-Cooker Potato Soup, Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup or Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup with Kale. Coffee or Tea Hot beverages are a great way to help you warm up when you're feeling cold. Most often, a warm drink like coffee or tea is served in a mug, enabling you to stay in contact with the physical heat of the drink. This not only warms your hands but drinking coffee and tea can also offer additional warmth. "If I'm looking for a beverage to warm me up, I love homemade masala chai, or just adding some cinnamon to a cup of hot cocoa," says Martinet. Don't be afraid to get creative with the warm beverages you choose. The Bottom Line If you regularly feel cold without relief, discussing your symptoms with a doctor is best to ensure you receive a proper diagnosis. When turning to foods or drinks to help you stay warm, be sure to choose nutrient-dense choices that offer nourishment and warmth no matter the season. Many of our most common beliefs about food … aren’t actually true. For example, there’s a widespread notion that Twinkies never go bad. In fact, there’s a school in Maine that’s held on to one for over 40 years as a science experiment. But … they probably shouldn’t eat it. In reality, Twinkies are only fresh for about 45 days.

An Olive Oil Bread Dip recipe packed with flavor from the dried spices or fresh herbs, all it needs is an Olive Bread to go along with it. The real secret is finding the best tasting olive oil for dipping bread. Simple, quick and easy, it’s an elegant appetizer to serve any time of the year. So, you know how you go to an Italian restaurant and as soon as you sit down, you can’t wait for the olive oil dip and crusty bread (similar to my olive bread) to be placed on your table. It’s restaurant-style at its best (I’m looking at you Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bertucci’s, California Pizza Kitchen, and Romano Macaroni Grill.) That is this recipe! With the right mix of bread dipping seasoning and the best olive oil you can find, you can make restaurant-style food in your home kitchen. It serves as the perfect appetizer for those get-togethers with family and friends. And with the right adjustments, I found a way to make it enjoyable throughout the year. The best tasting olive oil for dipping breadBefore we dive deep into the bread dipping spices, let’s talk about the most important ingredient of the recipe: Olive Oil. There are so many olive oils on supermarket shelves these days, it’s hard to know which one is the best olive oil for dipping bread. A general rule of thumb is to purchase a cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil from one supplier or country. These are the fruitiest and most flavorful. Avoid olive oil blends or refined versions. And remember, above all else, taste trumps all, so go with your favorite. My favorites include Bertolli , California Olive Ranch, and Carapelli. If you happen to have a local Italian market or gourmet market, they will usually let you taste the olive oils and help you find what you’re looking for – all you have to do is ask! PRO TIP: Note that olive oil is perishable. For best results, store your good-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a cool, dark place and use within 1-2 months upon opening. If unopened, it will last in your cabinet for up to two years. Don’t store your olive oil in glass jars or near your oven, as light and heat will degrade the oil faster. Olive oil dipping spices Dried spice or fresh herbs You can use both depending on the season and what you have on hand. Personally, I prefer the fresh herb recipe, but this offers you a nice variation and the best of both worlds. Dried Spices – Convenient and easy to have stored in your pantry so you can make this recipe year-round.
PRO TIP: Making this Italian herb-infused olive oil on the go? Keep a jar of homemade Italian seasoning in your pantry to make it quick and easy. Here is my go-to Italian seasoning recipe:
Fresh Herbs – Great for making this seasoned olive oil during the spring and summer months, especially if you are growing your own herbs. Note that the measurements for fresh herbs are just about the same (or less) as compared to the dried spices. This is because fresh herbs pack so much more flavor, so if we use too much, they can become overpowering.
PRO TIP: I prefer chopping all my fresh herbs by hand, as this is the more delicate approach, but feel free to use your food processor.With the exception of fresh basil. Basil is such a soft herb, it bruises easily. Either gently slice into ribbons (known as chiffonade) or simply tear with your hands. Garlic Garlic is a big flavor provider and enhancer. When mixed with the spices (or fresh herbs) it infuses the oil with additional Mediterranean flavors. However, it is also such a delicate ingredient. Use this list as a guide depending on how strong you want the garlic flavor when whipping up your own garlic bread cheese dip.
Acid Acid gives it a fresh flavor and adds a new dimension, so don’t skip it! My favorite is freshly squeezed lemon juice. But you can make olive oil and balsamic vinegar bread dip with balsamic vinegar as well. If you decide to go with balsamic vinegar, simply use a tablespoon of balsamic in place of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Cheese A traditional olive oil dipping dish is made with grated Parmesan cheese. But I recommend changing it up from time to time to keep things interesting. Grated Pecorino Romano, cubed feta, or those small mozzarella balls known as bocconcini can be chopped up and mixed in for fresh, cheesy flavor. Salt and pepper I know it may seem a bit basic, but the salt and pepper you use make all the difference. Avoid table salt and pre-ground black pepper. Use sea salt or kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper for the best flavor. How to make olive oil bread dipThis olive oil dipping sauce for bread comes together quickly and easily. All you have to do is to mix all the ingredients together in a shallow bowl and allow to sit for at least an hour for the flavors to meld together nicely. Then dip your favorite bread in oil and enjoy it! Can I make the bread dipping oil recipe ahead?Yes! The simple olive oil bread dip can be made 1-2 days in advance. But it all depends on whether you use dried or fresh herbs. Dried Version: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the garlic*, lemon juice and cheese. On the day you are going to serve, mix in the remaining ingredients and enjoy! Fresh Version: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the fresh basil, garlic*, lemon juice and cheese. The basil tends to turn black if left in the oil for too long. On the day you are going to serve, mix in the remaining ingredients and enjoy! *Note that if you are using garlic powder as the garlic component, you can add this into the mix when preparing the olive oil sauce ahead. When ready to serve, simply add the remaining ingredients! Olive oil dipping dish for everyone in the familyThis easy bread dip is perfect to serve to family and friends, especially during the holiday season. To adjust the recipe for children, omit the red pepper flakes and use less of the overpowering dried herbs like rosemary and thyme. Since fresh herbs are milder than dried, it is best to leave the fresh herb dipping oil recipe as is. Both kids and adults enjoy the fresh flavor! Best bread for dippingSome of my favorite breads to dip into the Italian bread dipping oil are Olive Bread, No-Knead Bread, French Bread, or Crusty Ciabatta Rolls. A little tip – if you let the bread sit in the oil for a good minute or two, it absorbs even more of it’s delicious flavor!
