Why should you buy organic food? Where ever you live, you have to deal with pollution, in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and in the foods you eat. You can do little about air pollution, but you can filter the water you drink and you can choose organic food over processed food, which is defeated the purpose of buying organic. The USDA says that 80% of our meat comes from animals that have been treated with poisons such as hormones and antibiotics.
80% of our poultry comes from chickens that have been chemically treated to increase their numbers. 90% of our fish comes from factory farms that make deceptive claims on their labels that these fish are organic. Fish that survive to maturity normally average 10-25 years old. When you eat only organic meat and fish, you are assured that you are getting the maximum amount of beneficial nutrition.
The animals that the conventional farmers bring to their farms are treated badly. They are fed stacked layers of chemicals and are injected with hormones and antibiotics so they grow faster. As a result, the organic meat will cost more than conventional meat. The best course of action is to look for the saliva on the packaging of the organic product rather than the organic meat. Also, you should avoid processed organic food in favor of organic raw or very fresh fruits and vegetables.
Paella Dinner
If you love rice, then paella is a must-try dish. This meal, which is the staple dish in Spain and Portugal, combines rice cooked with seafood or meat, vegetables, and spices.
The most common ingredient in this dish is fish, which is traditionally cut into Roe and Salmon. You can change this fish with other kinds, like rabbit or chicken. This helps to balance the mineral content and improve the flavor.
Other ingredients you can add are tomatoes, onion, mushrooms and potatoes. Spain is famous for its saffron, so you’ll definitely need that if you’re to try paella.
Another famous paella is Marinera one that originated in Morocco. This paella is cooked from white wine, fish and vegetables including onions, tomatoes, pepper and paprika. You should not order this if you are on a diet, since it has a large amount of salt.
Spain is also known for its rice, which is very important to them. This is short-grained rice, which gives the rice a wonderful soft texture. In fact, you’ll need to use a rice cooker to cook this rice.
For a holiday meal, you could try an authentic Spanish meal, such as Paella Festivals. These are huge events that have several different dishes, cooked in a style similar to traditional Filipino meals. For this reason, it’s usually safe to say that you can’t go wrong with paella Festivals.
The history of paella is a complex one, dating back to pre-Hispanic times. One question that remains is, what exactly is a paella? The word paella itself comes from the Arabic word as far, which means heat-fried. The word serves as both a description and as an imperative (in the literal sense).
The word paella most commonly used in Spain and Italy is the Malaga Paella, which translates to little fishes. The Gastronomy community often refers to this paella dish as a fish and rice. However, thispaella remains a very important part of Spanish and Italian cooking today.
What are the most popular paellas?
The sit down restaurant is the most common place to eat paella. As its name implies, it is a type of paella that is made in a bowl; it is oval in shape and it covers the entire arbor rather than being divided into seared meats and cooked vegetables like a stir fry.
The most popular ingredients are saffron, beans, rice and meat or fish that is sauteed with vegetables, golden raisins, peanuts and the addition of olive oil and salt. This is commonly made in restaurants and is a very healthy dish.
Latino lovers of paella are crazy for this one ingredient. Not only are its flavors great but it is also one of the healthiest ingredients. Paella is a great dish to make if you want to clean out the fridge or use up the ingredients.
For this cooking technique, you’ll need a round clay pot. Bring water in a pot to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt, then add the rice which should be ready in five to seven minutes. Just like with any other dish, saute the onions, garlic for a couple of minutes. Once they are cooked, add the rest of the ingredients and then pour in the broth.
Cooking paella is about breaking the rules. Don’t be afraid to step it up a little and throw in some of the traditional ingredients.
