wheat germ

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 11:46 am

Wheat germ might be just the thing you are looking for if you are wanting to start out the new year on a healthy note. I use this food additive a few times a week and can tell you that you don’t even notice it in your food.

Wheat germ is a light and fluffy flaky type substance that you can sprinkle on almost any food you want. It is pretty much flavorless in the recommended serving size and is noted for being an excellent source of Vitamin E among other vitamins.

On cold mornings when I eat hot cereal I stir it into the mix and get the added vitamins into my diet. You can sprinkle it on top of your dinner, salad, fish, beef, anything! There are even suggestions of baking with it, although I do not know the effects this would have on your recipe, so experimentation would have to be conducted.

There are two flavors offered by the brand we use, which is linked on this website. There is an original, which to me is flavorless if you mix it into your meal. The other is a honey flavored that I have not tried.

Wheat germ has many vitamins that you might want to get on that healthy diet kick for the new year! It’s not that expensive and is almost unnoticeable in food. This might be a good way to sneak in extra vitamins to your loved ones when you cook for them! Check out the referenced website for the wheat germ product.

Which gum flavor last the longest?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 10:10 am

Which flavor of gum last the longest?

Currently there is a brand of gum that advertises as having a “ridiculously long lasting gum.” 

The brand is Stride Gum, and they have a number of gum flavors to choose from:

Sweet Cinnamon, forever fruit, sweet berry, nonstop mint, always mandarin, spearmint, and sweet peppermint. 

We don’t really have much proof on who has the longest lasting flavors of gum, we can only rely on the research each company does for their own gum brand. And as we all know most companies are biased to, well, to their own company. But if I had to try a gum to see how long it lasts I would start here, at Stride. If they say it lasts long, it better last long! 

And if I had to re-name Stride gum – I would re-name it: Supercalifragilistic or supergumlastlongtime.

Yes, you heard it right: I would call Stride – Supergumlastlongtime.

Ovaltine flavors!

Ovaltine flavors and vitamins.

I was looking for an alternative to regular chocolate milk that might be a little bit healthier. The chocolate milk I was buying was 15% saturated fat, so I switched to the 1% chocolate milk.  There is however another option – ovaltine.  Ovaltine isa powedery mix that is added to milk for flavor.  Ovaltine is also popular because it comes fortified with vitamins and minerals – in one of the flavors up to 12 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, D, E, Thiamin, Calcium, Niacin, Riboflavin, and Phosphorus amoung others!  Originally known as ov0maltine, it was originally advertised as being “malt, milk, eggs, flavored with cocoa”.

Today, the three flavors of ovaltine are rich chocolate mix  (this is the newest of the flavors, it gives milk a nice chocolate flavor), chocolate malt mix, and classic malt mix.

Article 2:

Ovaltine flavors and vitamins.

I was looking for an alternative to regular chocolate milk that might be a little bit healthier. The chocolate milk I was buying was 15% saturated fat, so I switched to the 1% chocolate milk that contained  8% saturated fat. I am not a health nut but I do realize that cutting back in the saturated fat in one area will help a little especially since the chocolate milk is more of a luxury item, and the fact that I buy ice cream on a regular basis. So I picked up a can of Ovaltine Rich Chocolate Malt flavor while browsing the aisles of the beverage section of the grocery store. I am not from the generation that grew up drinking ovaltine on a regular basis, in fact I had not even had a taste of it until I bought this can. I had only heard of it and was curious, I was looking for chocolate, and looking for “healthier” and this seemed to fit what I wanted. So I got home and mixed the 4tbs of ovaltine with a glass of 2% milk. I was expecting a malt taste, and was expecting chocolate, but was surprised to find that it was actually more of a “grown up persons” taste. The malt is very subtle, but you can taste it in there, then you get the chocolate which is also subtle. The two flavors actually mix together nicely. No after taste, not addictive,  and “healthy- er! Of course the 15% saturated fat chocolate milk I was drinking tasted better, there is no doubt, it’s rich, creamy, chocolaty, you can’t beat it! But the benefits of the ovaltine outweigh the traditional chocolate milk. The ovaltine packs in atleast 10 different vitamins and nutrients including:

Vitamin A, C, D , E, calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin, and Niacin. 

That is a few of the benefits to the ovaltine drink. This is a good alternative to anybody thinking they need a change in the chocolate milk routine, atleast try it. And for those who have had tried it, maybe one of the people who grew up drinking it but didn’t like it, try it again! A comment made to me form oen who used to drink this is that, “it never tasted that good before.” So maybe it’s worth another try.

The Ovaltine website  provides 3 different flavors of the ovaltine  powdered drink. Ovaltine Classic Malt Mix, Ovaltine Chocolate Malt Mix, Ovaltine Rich Chocolate malt mix.

Fennel Flavor

Filed under: Spices — Tags: , , , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 9:56 pm

Fennel is an herb with strongly flavored seeds, leaves, and body. Dried fennel seed is a popular spice used in cooking, and has a flavor that is similar to anise flavor, but not as strong – you will find it in the spice rack of your supermarket. Fennel leaves closely resemble dill leaves – they are thin, green, and feathery. The fennel bulb is also used in cooking as a vegetable, particularly in Italian food. Many supermarkets do sell fennel the vegetable – look in the fresh vegetable section for something that slightly resembles celery stalks but has a huge bulb, and leaves that look like dill. When cooked, fennel has a subtle licorice flavor which is surprisingly satisfying, and appealing to those who do not like strongly flavored vegetables. It is a light vegetable, so be sure you have something else to eat that is very filling. You will not eat the stalks, just the bulbs; you can however save the stalks to flavor soups, and the leaves to flavor fish.

The 23 Flavors of Dr. Pepper

Filed under: cola — Tags: , , , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 11:59 pm

What are the 23 Flavors of Dr Pepper?  According to the Dr. Pepper webiste, “Dr. Pepper is a unique blend of 23 flavors. The formula for Dr. Pepper is proprietary information.”  It is true that the twenty-three ingredients found in the soda are a closely guarded secret, and has been since the cola’s introduction in 1904 at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.  Noone knows for sure what the flavors are, however there are some guesses floating around the internet…the most common guess at the flavors I’ve found include: Amaretto, Almond, Blackberry, Black Licorice, Caramel, Carrot, Clove, Cherry, Raspberry, and Vanilla, among other flavors.

The flavor of Dr. Pepper is hard to describe  – some people think that amaretto mixed with club soda, or amaretto mixed with cola taste exactly like Dr. Pepper;  others claim that Dr. Pepper tastes slightly similar to cherry-flavored root beer.  There are even rumors that Dr. Pepper contains prune juice – however, this is the one flavor that the cola’s website does address – Dr. Pepper officially says in it’s FAQs “Dr Pepper is a unique blend of natural and artificial flavors,  it does not contain prune juice.”

Recipe for Hot Dr. Pepper

According to the Dr Pepper website – one winter flavor you do not want to miss is Hot Dr Pepper.  The directions to make according to the company website:  heat Dr. Pepper to 180 degrees, then pour the hot Dr. Pepper over a slice of lemon in a coffee mug.

In order to change it up a little bit for summer, try this twist on your fruit smoothie: make it frozen!  A frozen fruit smoothie is  ideal for summer, and you can make it in a variety of refreshingly cool summer flavors…you might try the frozen Key Lime Smoothie  (key limes of course being the main ingredient), or how about a frozen banana-strawberry fruit smoothie?!  Or what about a frozen melon fruit smoothie?  Just the sound of these smothies is enough to cool you off!

Here’s a great recipe for a frozen fruit smoothie:

buy a bag of frozen mixed fruit (I like to buy mine in bulk from Sam’s – it gives enough fruit to make smoothies for an entire month!)  Add about 2.5 cups of frozen fruit, about 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of apple juice or orange juice, then sweeten the whole mixture with honey! Mix it in a blender until it’s all blended together the consistency of a thick shake.

It makes a delicious and refreshing drink – and not only are fruit smoothies flavorful and refreshing but they are also very healthY! Try it and make this fruit drink the flavor of your summer!
