"headTitle": "Bay Area Bites | KQED Food",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olive oil, which is simply juice pressed from olives, has been an important part of Mediterranean cooking for thousands of years\u003c/strong>. The highest grade, called extra-virgin, is lively, bright, and full- bodied, with flavors ranging from peppery to buttery depending on the varieties of olives used and how ripe they were when harvested. In the Mediterranean, Spain is the leading producer of olive oil, followed by Italy and Greece. In the United States, California is the top producer (and in fact is the source of \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/taste_tests/1637-supermarket-extra-virgin-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our winning supermarket extra-virgin olive oil\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Olive Oil is Healthy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We use extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) as our main cooking oil as well as in raw applications. \u003cstrong>Olive oil supports one of the main pillars of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid: to eat more healthy fats and fewer saturated fats\u003c/strong>. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are healthy fats, and also contains important minor components including antioxidants and other beneficial phytochemicals, plant-derived compounds thought to protect against disease. Studies have also shown that people who regularly include olive oil in their diets have lower rates of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduced rates of diabetes and some cancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Fresher the Olive Oil, the Better\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olive oil tastes great when it’s fresh\u003c/strong>. But olives are highly perishable, and their complex flavor degrades quickly, which makes producing—and handling—a top-notch oil time-sensitive, labor-intensive, and expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124343\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 900px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124343\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20.jpeg\" alt=\"Olive oil isn't just for drizzling over greens—you can also bake cakes with it!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20.jpeg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/SFS_olive_oil_yogurt_cake-20-520x292.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olive oil isn't just for drizzling over greens—you can also bake cakes with it! \u003ccite>(Courtesy of America's Test Kitchen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>It’s OK to Cook with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Although conventional wisdom says that you shouldn’t cook with olive oil since its smoke point is low, we have found that this is not the case. \u003cstrong>With a smoke point of 410 degrees, extra-virgin olive oil is fine for most cooking applications, even frying\u003c/strong>.

The state of California, where olive oil production has grown tenfold over the past decade, passed the California Department of Food and Agriculture olive oil standard in 2014. The most stringent standard in the country, it is mandatory for medium-and large-scale \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/taste_tests/475-california-extra-virgin-olive-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California olive oil\u003c/a> production. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) adopted chemical and sensory standards for olive oil grades similar to those established by the IOC.

(Speed is of the essence, since olives begin to change flavor from the moment they are separated from the tree and must be pressed as quickly as possible to ensure that they retain the desired flavor profile.) Then, by bottling very close to the source, the company cuts out the risk that the oil will oxidize and spoil during transport to another facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike some producers that sell their oil in clear glass or even plastic bottles, which expose the oil to more damaging light, our winning manufacturer uses dark-green glass bottles that help shield the oil.

Some of the most commonly found varieties in the U.S. market are Arbequina and Picual from Spain, Koroneiki from Greece, and Coratina from Italy. Arbequina is noted for its ripe fruitiness, low bitterness, and pungency. Picual is very fruity with medium bitterness and pungency. Koroneiki is strongly fruity and herbaceous, with mild bitterness and pungency. Coratina is strongly green, herbaceous, bitter, and pungent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Keeping Olive Oil Fresh\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three things can help you assess the quality of an extra-virgin olive oil before you buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harvest Date\u003c/strong>: A “best by” date might be 24 to 32 months after the oil was bottled, which in turn can be one to two years after it was pressed—so by the time that “best by” date rolls around, the oil could be about four years old. \u003cstrong>A harvest date is a more precise indication of freshness\u003c/strong>, since olive oil begins to degrade about 18 months after harvest. Look for the most recent date (certainly within the last 12 months), and note that in Europe and the United States, olives are harvested in the fall and winter, so most bottles list the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dark Glass\u003c/strong>: Avoid clear glass; dark glass shields the oil from damaging light. Avoid clear plastic, too; it’s not a good barrier to light or air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oil Origin\u003c/strong>: Bottlers often print where their oil has been sourced from on the label; look for oil that has been sourced from a single country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Storing Olive Oil\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Never keep olive oil on your kitchen counter, since strong sunlight will oxidize the chlorophyll in the oil, producing stale, harsh flavors\u003c/strong>. Keeping your olive oil next to the stove is also a bad idea as heat accelerates spoilage. We recommend storing oil in a dark pantry or cupboard; do not store olive oil in the fridge, as it can become cloudy, thick, and viscous and can take a few hours to return to normal. You can keep unopened oil for about a year; but once opened, it lasts only about three months—so don’t buy in bulk. And if possible, check the harvest date to ensure the freshest bottle possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To check for freshness, pour a little oil in a small glass and sniff it. If it reminds you of crayons or stale walnuts, toss it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/499-everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America's Test Kitchen\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The highest grade, called extra-virgin, is lively, bright, and full- bodied, with flavors ranging from peppery to buttery depending on the varieties of olives used and how ripe they were when harvested. In the Mediterranean, Spain is the leading producer of olive oil, followed by Italy and Greece. In the United States, California is the top producer (and in fact is the source of \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/taste_tests/1637-supermarket-extra-virgin-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our winning supermarket extra-virgin olive oil\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Olive Oil is Healthy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We use extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) as our main cooking oil as well as in raw applications. \u003cstrong>Olive oil supports one of the main pillars of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid: to eat more healthy fats and fewer saturated fats\u003c/strong>. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are healthy fats, and also contains important minor components including antioxidants and other beneficial phytochemicals, plant-derived compounds thought to protect against disease. Studies have also shown that people who regularly include olive oil in their diets have lower rates of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduced rates of diabetes and some cancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Fresher the Olive Oil, the Better\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olive oil tastes great when it’s fresh\u003c/strong>.

Some of the most commonly found varieties in the U.S. market are Arbequina and Picual from Spain, Koroneiki from Greece, and Coratina from Italy. Arbequina is noted for its ripe fruitiness, low bitterness, and pungency. Picual is very fruity with medium bitterness and pungency. Koroneiki is strongly fruity and herbaceous, with mild bitterness and pungency. Coratina is strongly green, herbaceous, bitter, and pungent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Keeping Olive Oil Fresh\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three things can help you assess the quality of an extra-virgin olive oil before you buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harvest Date\u003c/strong>: A “best by” date might be 24 to 32 months after the oil was bottled, which in turn can be one to two years after it was pressed—so by the time that “best by” date rolls around, the oil could be about four years old. \u003cstrong>A harvest date is a more precise indication of freshness\u003c/strong>, since olive oil begins to degrade about 18 months after harvest. Look for the most recent date (certainly within the last 12 months), and note that in Europe and the United States, olives are harvested in the fall and winter, so most bottles list the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dark Glass\u003c/strong>: Avoid clear glass; dark glass shields the oil from damaging light. Avoid clear plastic, too; it’s not a good barrier to light or air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oil Origin\u003c/strong>: Bottlers often print where their oil has been sourced from on the label; look for oil that has been sourced from a single country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Storing Olive Oil\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Never keep olive oil on your kitchen counter, since strong sunlight will oxidize the chlorophyll in the oil, producing stale, harsh flavors\u003c/strong>. Keeping your olive oil next to the stove is also a bad idea as heat accelerates spoilage. We recommend storing oil in a dark pantry or cupboard; do not store olive oil in the fridge, as it can become cloudy, thick, and viscous and can take a few hours to return to normal. You can keep unopened oil for about a year; but once opened, it lasts only about three months—so don’t buy in bulk. And if possible, check the harvest date to ensure the freshest bottle possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To check for freshness, pour a little oil in a small glass and sniff it. If it reminds you of crayons or stale walnuts, toss it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You wanted to stick to a well-rounded diet, eat fresh vegetables, or make your own meals on weeknights. But now you're starting to struggle and wonder how you'll keep it up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While food boxes, delivery programs, and meal kits certainly have \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/07/15/dinner-by-the-numbers-how-do-meal-kits-stack-up/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their problems\u003c/a>, including some packaging and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/04/21/are-meal-kits-and-delivery-services-good-or-bad-for-the-environment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">environmental challenges\u003c/a>, the local Bay Area and health-conscious companies that offer these services can be a useful option to keep you on track. Meal kits have become a booming business, with boxes arriving at your doorstep full of ingredients and directions all pre-packaged for your evening cooking. Even \u003ca href=\"https://shophomemade.com/mealkits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ayesha Curry\u003c/a> is getting in on the meal kit business. And Michelin-starred \u003ca href=\"https://www.chefd.com/collections/dominique-crenn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominique Crenn partnered with the national company Chef'd to offer her meals in prepared kits\u003c/a>. \u003cem>[Ed note: Chef'd has since gone out of business.]\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are kits for you to cook and pre-made meals for you to simply heat, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.gomethodology.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Methodology\u003c/a>. There are local grocery providers who are getting into the meal business and meal providers getting into the restaurant business. Many of them even have options that stick to strict popular diets, if that's your thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a lot of these programs are relatively new, CSAs (community-support agriculture) have actually been around for decades. The premise is that you get boxes of produce from your local farms delivered weekly or semi-weekly or even monthly. In exchange, you join and pre-pay for a membership, which helps the farm with orders and cash flow. Often the best way to find a CSA is just to talk to the farmers at your local farmers market. There are some larger providers, however, if you're not sure where to start, like organic \u003ca href=\"http://fullbellyfarm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fully Belly Farm\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.tarafirmafarms.com/ourcsa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tara Firma Farms\u003c/a>.

You could have fresh bread and fresh strawberries delivered (in season) to your door. Now with a revamped business plan, Good Eggs also launched a meal kit service that brings you ingredients and recipe instructions for you to make your own farm-sourced meals. Ingredients come in less packaging than the standard meal kit, and are delivered with your regular Good Eggs' grocery order if you have one. The company says 85 percent of the food comes from local farms and the recipes rely on items they already stock, meaning the produce is fairly fresh. Three meals for the week, with three servings each, costs $75/week. There are vegetarian options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://sunbasket.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sun Basket\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the major national meal kit companies, Sun Basket is the most Bay Area-based. Executive chef Justine Kelly came from the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Slanted Door\u003c/a> restaurant. Much of the Sun Basket food is also sourced from \u003ca href=\"https://sunbasket.com/farms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">farms\u003c/a> in California or on the West Coast, and is predominantly organic and farmed with sustainable practices -- including seafood that conforms to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Watch List. A three-meal kit, with two servings per meal, cost approximately $72/week. Sun Basket also has a number of dietary options for your weekly meal plan: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian, the Mediterranean diet, Paleo, or their healthy \"lean & clean\" choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124332\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124332\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Purple Carrot offers vegan meal kits. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Purple Carrot)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.purplecarrot.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Purple Carrot\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purple Carrot is the vegan version of your standard boxed meal kit.

(He later left.) The vegan recipes are unique and sometimes time-intensive: eggplant falafel wraps.

These meals are pre-made and arrive in clear plastic containers in an insulated bag. These are healthy bowls, salads, soups, and parfaits. A tofu scramble or winter muesli might not be exciting for dinner, but are great for a mid-day meal or snack at the office. The meals are generally gluten-free and dairy-free, and you can build up your meal choices based on what kind of protein you want. The focus, though, is generally on healthy fats and foods low in sugar or sodium. Started in San Francisco as a pressed juice pop-up, Thistle also allows you to add a juice to your meals for an extra $6.

There are also on-demand choices for a single delivery or pick-up if you don't want a subscription plan. Boxes are then delivered weekly in most of the Bay Area counties. A medium-sized box is $40/week. Or you can visit the cafe in Hollister.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You wanted to stick to a well-rounded diet, eat fresh vegetables, or make your own meals on weeknights. But now you're starting to struggle and wonder how you'll keep it up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While food boxes, delivery programs, and meal kits certainly have \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/07/15/dinner-by-the-numbers-how-do-meal-kits-stack-up/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their problems\u003c/a>, including some packaging and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/04/21/are-meal-kits-and-delivery-services-good-or-bad-for-the-environment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">environmental challenges\u003c/a>, the local Bay Area and health-conscious companies that offer these services can be a useful option to keep you on track. Meal kits have become a booming business, with boxes arriving at your doorstep full of ingredients and directions all pre-packaged for your evening cooking. Even \u003ca href=\"https://shophomemade.com/mealkits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ayesha Curry\u003c/a> is getting in on the meal kit business. And Michelin-starred \u003ca href=\"https://www.chefd.com/collections/dominique-crenn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominique Crenn partnered with the national company Chef'd to offer her meals in prepared kits\u003c/a>. \u003cem>[Ed note: Chef'd has since gone out of business.]\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are kits for you to cook and pre-made meals for you to simply heat, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.gomethodology.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Methodology\u003c/a>. There are local grocery providers who are getting into the meal business and meal providers getting into the restaurant business. Many of them even have options that stick to strict popular diets, if that's your thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a lot of these programs are relatively new, CSAs (community-support agriculture) have actually been around for decades. The premise is that you get boxes of produce from your local farms delivered weekly or semi-weekly or even monthly. In exchange, you join and pre-pay for a membership, which helps the farm with orders and cash flow. Often the best way to find a CSA is just to talk to the farmers at your local farmers market. There are some larger providers, however, if you're not sure where to start, like organic \u003ca href=\"http://fullbellyfarm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fully Belly Farm\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.tarafirmafarms.com/ourcsa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tara Firma Farms\u003c/a>.

You could have fresh bread and fresh strawberries delivered (in season) to your door. Now with a revamped business plan, Good Eggs also launched a meal kit service that brings you ingredients and recipe instructions for you to make your own farm-sourced meals. Ingredients come in less packaging than the standard meal kit, and are delivered with your regular Good Eggs' grocery order if you have one. The company says 85 percent of the food comes from local farms and the recipes rely on items they already stock, meaning the produce is fairly fresh. Three meals for the week, with three servings each, costs $75/week. There are vegetarian options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://sunbasket.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sun Basket\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the major national meal kit companies, Sun Basket is the most Bay Area-based. Executive chef Justine Kelly came from the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Slanted Door\u003c/a> restaurant. Much of the Sun Basket food is also sourced from \u003ca href=\"https://sunbasket.com/farms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">farms\u003c/a> in California or on the West Coast, and is predominantly organic and farmed with sustainable practices -- including seafood that conforms to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Watch List. A three-meal kit, with two servings per meal, cost approximately $72/week. Sun Basket also has a number of dietary options for your weekly meal plan: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian, the Mediterranean diet, Paleo, or their healthy \"lean & clean\" choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124332\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124332\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/22538561_2027574417478169_935140871107511888_o-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Purple Carrot offers vegan meal kits. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Purple Carrot)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.purplecarrot.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Purple Carrot\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purple Carrot is the vegan version of your standard boxed meal kit. Other than the fact that all the recipes are plant-based, it's a fairly straight-forward meal kit service. Not strictly a Bay Area-based company, Purple Carrot was actually started on the East Coast and then expanded to the West Coast after \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> food critic Mark Bittman joined the company. (He later left.) The vegan recipes are unique and sometimes time-intensive: eggplant falafel wraps. Purple Carrot also, perhaps oddly, has partnered with Tom Brady's TB12 Sports to offer \"high-performance\" meals.

These meals are pre-made and arrive in clear plastic containers in an insulated bag. These are healthy bowls, salads, soups, and parfaits. A tofu scramble or winter muesli might not be exciting for dinner, but are great for a mid-day meal or snack at the office. The meals are generally gluten-free and dairy-free, and you can build up your meal choices based on what kind of protein you want. The focus, though, is generally on healthy fats and foods low in sugar or sodium. Started in San Francisco as a pressed juice pop-up, Thistle also allows you to add a juice to your meals for an extra $6. For three meals per week, you'll pay $12/meal for vegan meals and $16/meal for meat options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122224\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-122224\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"Kitava Street Tacos with troll-caught wild salmon\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1397-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitava's Street Tacos with troll-caught wild salmon. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kitava.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kitava\u003c/a> (formerly Mealmade)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're following a strict diet, then Kitava can be a life-saver.

The restaurant now serves up meals that meet a variety of diets -- including Paleo and the strict Whole30 program. Meanwhile, the delivery program continues to bring those meals to people's homes. It's not exactly a meal kit, but rather a normal delivery service. Order dishes of plantain bowls, sweet potato mash, or zucchini noodles online.

But in the last couple years, Luke's has expanded to offer meals, chef's snacks (which change weekly), and boxed lunches -- all made in-house by the company's own chefs and butchers. With next-day delivery expanded around much of the Bay Area, Luke's probably delivers to your home Monday-Friday or you can find a pick-up location. There's also a catering arm and a store in Cole Valley that opened in late 2016. The Luke's Local meal bundle plan comes with two each of a meat meal, fish meal, veggie meal, and side salad for $75. Or you can opt for individual meals and sides, or any combination of groceries. A box includes all the meals, produce, meat, and items you've chosen for the week.\u003cem> [Ed note: Luke's Local now offers same day delivery in San Francisco, but has stopped delivery to the East and South Bay.]\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.threestonehearth.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Three Stone Hearth\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspired by the CSA modal, Three Stone Hearth calls itself a \"community supported kitchen.\" That means there's a Three Stone Hearth store in Berkeley where you can pick-up orders from local producers at set times: fishery day or hot broth bar day. The worker-owned co-op also has individual or group deliveries for a fee. Almost everything is packaged in mason glass jars, which are then returned and recycled. Along with individual items, there are also weekly menus. Right now, for the winter, Three Stone is making hearty soups, beef stroganoff, quinoa salad, and baked spaghetti squash pie. Those meals are about $16-22, depending on serving size, and require a deposit on the glass jars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124333\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 491px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n.jpg 491w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n-160x154.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n-240x232.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n-375x362.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/249180_117381895013263_4556686_n-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A CSA box from Eat With the Seasons \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Eat With the Seasons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://eatwiththeseasons.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eat With the Seasons\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But if you're looking to lose weight in the new year, you should know this: How much you eat ultimately matters more than how much you work out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like a lot of Americans, I've got some extra pounds to shed. So about two months ago, I started tracking everything I eat using an app called Lose It! It's one of several apps out there — like MyFitnessPal and MyPlate – designed to help you watch your diet. When I eat something, I can look up how many calories it contains in the app. If my food isn't listed, I add it myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows that logging what you eat can be one powerful strategy for weight loss, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.weightymatters.ca/\">Dr. Yoni Freedhoff,\u003c/a> an obesity medicine clinician and an assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Basically, logging becomes a food budget — and he says it's not that different from creating an actual financial budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many people out there have done this exercise from a money perspective and realized, 'Holy crap! I'm spending that much at Starbucks!' I think that similarly we might say that about the calories we're spending at Starbucks,\" Freedhoff says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says knowing how many calories you're consuming \"may help in your decision-making in regard to what you can and can't afford or want\" to eat. \"But it also has benefits to behavior change. Every time you use a food diary, you're reminding yourself of all those behaviors you're hoping to change — and that, in turn, is a powerful way to encourage and sustain behavior change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedhoff has his patients keep food diaries. And he says his patients who use apps are more likely to keep up with the logging than those who rely on pen and paper. It makes sense: Most of us are glued to our smartphones all the time anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use my app to track my weight and my exercise, too. After logging one 30-minute cross-training session with my fitness trainer, the app added an extra 340 calories to my daily food allowance. That sounds good in theory, but as registered dietitian \u003ca href=\"https://abbylangernutrition.com/\">Abby Langer\u003c/a> notes, there is a limit to how much energy we can actually expend through physical activity – \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2016/6/29/12051520/exercise-weight-loss-myth-burn-calories-video\">only up to 30 percent\u003c/a> of what we eat (unless you're a pro athlete or have a job with similarly intense physical demands). And some people burn far less than that, perhaps as little as 10 percent, according to some research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So people who think that they can spend all day in the gym and just sort of negate all the food that they've eaten in terms of calories — that's just not how your body works,\" Langer notes. Keeping this in mind, I try not to eat most of the \"bonus\" calories my app gives me every time I work out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Langer says some people can become dangerously fixated on counting calories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are some people who are predisposed to becoming obsessed with tracking the calories and just all the numbers and number crunching,\" she says, adding, \"If you have a predisposition or a history of an eating disorder, I would recommend staying very far away from these apps because it really can be triggering for people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, as long as you take it with a grain of salt, tracking your meals in general can be really helpful for some people. Freedhoff points to one \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515566/\">study\u003c/a> from 2008 that found dieters who kept food records doubled their chances of success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data on food tracking apps so far is mixed. For example, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/11/06/454874728/weight-loss-app-doesnt-help-young-adults-shed-pounds\">2015 study\u003c/a> found that young adults (ages 18 to 35) who used a smartphone app to track their calories, weight and exercise lost no more weight than people who simply got handouts on healthy eating and exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4422872/\">study\u003c/a>, from 2014, found that merely introducing a weight loss app to obese patients did not help them lose weight. But in that study, the person who used the app the most also lost the most weight — 29 pounds. The researchers concluded: \"In the hands of a patient who is truly ready to self-monitor calories ... [apps] may be a useful tool for losing weight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has certainly been my experience. I've been extremely disciplined about using my app since November. And while the average American\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/09/21/494916454/we-really-do-get-a-little-more-santa-like-physically-during-the-holidays\"> puts on about a pound\u003c/a> during the onslaught of cookies and cakes that mark the winter holidays, I actually lost 6 pounds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But if you're looking to lose weight in the new year, you should know this: How much you eat ultimately matters more than how much you work out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like a lot of Americans, I've got some extra pounds to shed. So about two months ago, I started tracking everything I eat using an app called Lose It! It's one of several apps out there — like MyFitnessPal and MyPlate – designed to help you watch your diet. When I eat something, I can look up how many calories it contains in the app. If my food isn't listed, I add it myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows that logging what you eat can be one powerful strategy for weight loss, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.weightymatters.ca/\">Dr. Yoni Freedhoff,\u003c/a> an obesity medicine clinician and an assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Basically, logging becomes a food budget — and he says it's not that different from creating an actual financial budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many people out there have done this exercise from a money perspective and realized, 'Holy crap! I'm spending that much at Starbucks!' I think that similarly we might say that about the calories we're spending at Starbucks,\" Freedhoff says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Every time you use a food diary, you're reminding yourself of all those behaviors you're hoping to change — and that, in turn, is a powerful way to encourage and sustain behavior change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedhoff has his patients keep food diaries. And he says his patients who use apps are more likely to keep up with the logging than those who rely on pen and paper. It makes sense: Most of us are glued to our smartphones all the time anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use my app to track my weight and my exercise, too. After logging one 30-minute cross-training session with my fitness trainer, the app added an extra 340 calories to my daily food allowance. That sounds good in theory, but as registered dietitian \u003ca href=\"https://abbylangernutrition.com/\">Abby Langer\u003c/a> notes, there is a limit to how much energy we can actually expend through physical activity – \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2016/6/29/12051520/exercise-weight-loss-myth-burn-calories-video\">only up to 30 percent\u003c/a> of what we eat (unless you're a pro athlete or have a job with similarly intense physical demands). And some people burn far less than that, perhaps as little as 10 percent, according to some research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So people who think that they can spend all day in the gym and just sort of negate all the food that they've eaten in terms of calories — that's just not how your body works,\" Langer notes. Keeping this in mind, I try not to eat most of the \"bonus\" calories my app gives me every time I work out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Langer says some people can become dangerously fixated on counting calories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are some people who are predisposed to becoming obsessed with tracking the calories and just all the numbers and number crunching,\" she says, adding, \"If you have a predisposition or a history of an eating disorder, I would recommend staying very far away from these apps because it really can be triggering for people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, as long as you take it with a grain of salt, tracking your meals in general can be really helpful for some people. Freedhoff points to one \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515566/\">study\u003c/a> from 2008 that found dieters who kept food records doubled their chances of success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data on food tracking apps so far is mixed. For example, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/11/06/454874728/weight-loss-app-doesnt-help-young-adults-shed-pounds\">2015 study\u003c/a> found that young adults (ages 18 to 35) who used a smartphone app to track their calories, weight and exercise lost no more weight than people who simply got handouts on healthy eating and exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4422872/\">study\u003c/a>, from 2014, found that merely introducing a weight loss app to obese patients did not help them lose weight. But in that study, the person who used the app the most also lost the most weight — 29 pounds. The researchers concluded: \"In the hands of a patient who is truly ready to self-monitor calories ... [apps] may be a useful tool for losing weight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has certainly been my experience. I've been extremely disciplined about using my app since November. And while the average American\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/09/21/494916454/we-really-do-get-a-little-more-santa-like-physically-during-the-holidays\"> puts on about a pound\u003c/a> during the onslaught of cookies and cakes that mark the winter holidays, I actually lost 6 pounds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Recipe video by Vic Chin\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Looking for a light and healthy way to use up your turkey leftovers? Check out this amazingly easy noodle salad, which hits all the key notes: salty, crunchy, creamy, and delicious!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admit it, I am not the best salad maker. Let me clarify: I make a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/16/thanksgiving-dessert-classic-spiced-maple-pumpkin-pie/\">mean pie\u003c/a>, I can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/05/24/memorial-day-bbq-simply-awesome-grilled-bone-in-ribeye-steak/\">grill a gorgeous steak\u003c/a>, and I love to make \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/02/18/lets-get-healthy-green-chicken-and-veggie-curry/\">curries\u003c/a>, but just a regular green salad seems to elude me. It seems simple enough, but it’s never as good as anything I get at say, \u003ca href=\"http://dellafattoria.com/\">Della Fattoria\u003c/a> or another great little café. This has been vexing me for some time. But I finally realized something: I might not pull off the world’s best green salad, but I’m pretty good at hearty, entrée-style salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll take what I can get. Throw me some hunks of chewy toasted bread and fresh summer tomatoes, and I’ll give you a killer panzanella. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/07/01/time-to-grill-for-the-4th-of-july-grilled-corn-avocado-heirloom-tomato-red-onion-salad/\">Grilled corn and avocado\u003c/a>? No problem. Got some farro and roasted asparagus…I’ll make a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that will make those ingredients sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when I was trying to figure out a healthy, light salad that would utilize leftover turkey, I threw the whole idea of a green salad right out the door. Someone else can make that one—better than me! This salad was inspired by a truly amazing salad I had at the relatively new takeaway lunch spot, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchettepetaluma.com/\">Lunchette\u003c/a>, in Petaluma. Their salad is slightly different than this one, with poached shrimp, shards of coconut, and a red curry vinaigrette. But the basic premise was similar: rice noodles, shredded zucchini noodles, fresh herbs, and veggies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was with that delicious salad in mind that I came up with this recipe. The foundation of the salad is a mix of thin, vermicelli-style rice noodles and spiralized zucchini noodles. You can either use a vegetable spiral-cutter to create the zucchini noodles, purchase them already “noodled,” or just use a regular vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini into ribbons (down to the core). I added carrot, cucumber, a bunch of herbs, and some shredded leftover turkey breast. You can also just use chicken or do without it completely. Or add shrimp!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dressing is a lime and peanut vinaigrette. If you want to make a vegetarian version, just omit the fish sauce. Sambal oelek is a yummy chile paste that adds flavor and heat, but again, you can do without it but you will lose a bit of flavor (or better yet, add more for a little more spice!); substitute siracha if you can’t find sambal oelek. You can easily make the dressing in advance up to a few days ahead, just store it in the fridge in an airtight container.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hands-down this is now one of my favorite salad recipes, and is definitely going in rotation in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Dressing\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup lime juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large garlic clove, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp peanut butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp soy sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp sambal oelek (chile paste)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122728\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122728\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>4 oz vermicelli rice noodles\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 small zucchini (1/2 lb), trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups shredded leftover roast turkey\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 medium carrot, peeled\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped Thai basil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted salted peanuts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 limes, cut into wedges\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>To make the dressing, add all the ingredients except oil to a blender.

Check out this amazingly easy noodle salad, which hits all the key notes: salty, crunchy, creamy, and delicious!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admit it, I am not the best salad maker. Let me clarify: I make a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/16/thanksgiving-dessert-classic-spiced-maple-pumpkin-pie/\">mean pie\u003c/a>, I can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/05/24/memorial-day-bbq-simply-awesome-grilled-bone-in-ribeye-steak/\">grill a gorgeous steak\u003c/a>, and I love to make \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/02/18/lets-get-healthy-green-chicken-and-veggie-curry/\">curries\u003c/a>, but just a regular green salad seems to elude me. It seems simple enough, but it’s never as good as anything I get at say, \u003ca href=\"http://dellafattoria.com/\">Della Fattoria\u003c/a> or another great little café. This has been vexing me for some time. But I finally realized something: I might not pull off the world’s best green salad, but I’m pretty good at hearty, entrée-style salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll take what I can get. Throw me some hunks of chewy toasted bread and fresh summer tomatoes, and I’ll give you a killer panzanella. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/07/01/time-to-grill-for-the-4th-of-july-grilled-corn-avocado-heirloom-tomato-red-onion-salad/\">Grilled corn and avocado\u003c/a>? No problem. Got some farro and roasted asparagus…I’ll make a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that will make those ingredients sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when I was trying to figure out a healthy, light salad that would utilize leftover turkey, I threw the whole idea of a green salad right out the door. Someone else can make that one—better than me! This salad was inspired by a truly amazing salad I had at the relatively new takeaway lunch spot, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchettepetaluma.com/\">Lunchette\u003c/a>, in Petaluma. Their salad is slightly different than this one, with poached shrimp, shards of coconut, and a red curry vinaigrette. But the basic premise was similar: rice noodles, shredded zucchini noodles, fresh herbs, and veggies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The foundation of the salad is a mix of thin, vermicelli-style rice noodles and spiralized zucchini noodles. You can either use a vegetable spiral-cutter to create the zucchini noodles, purchase them already “noodled,” or just use a regular vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini into ribbons (down to the core). I added carrot, cucumber, a bunch of herbs, and some shredded leftover turkey breast. You can also just use chicken or do without it completely. Or add shrimp!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dressing is a lime and peanut vinaigrette. If you want to make a vegetarian version, just omit the fish sauce. Sambal oelek is a yummy chile paste that adds flavor and heat, but again, you can do without it but you will lose a bit of flavor (or better yet, add more for a little more spice!); substitute siracha if you can’t find sambal oelek. You can easily make the dressing in advance up to a few days ahead, just store it in the fridge in an airtight container.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hands-down this is now one of my favorite salad recipes, and is definitely going in rotation in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Dressing\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup lime juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large garlic clove, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp peanut butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp soy sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp sambal oelek (chile paste)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122728\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122728\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>4 oz vermicelli rice noodles\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 small zucchini (1/2 lb), trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups shredded leftover roast turkey\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 medium carrot, peeled\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped Thai basil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted salted peanuts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 limes, cut into wedges\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>To make the dressing, add all the ingredients except oil to a blender.

Some avoid all grains and legumes as well. Kitava has white rice – that’s the only one that’s permissible because it’s easier for the body to digest – but the Paleo-friendly cauliflower rice is also on offer. Some also avoid vegetables in the nightshade family: tomato, eggplant and peppers. This means that spices like cayenne and paprika can’t be used, either, since they are made of dried peppers. Some also avoid seeds, which can be left off most dishes at Kitava. While Kitava’s menus are clearly marked with what’s vegan and/or vegetarian, there’s a special menu given to those on the AIP diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122204\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\" alt=\"Kitava Kitchen menu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitava Kitchen menu. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a diet heavy in vegetables and protein; pastured and organic meats and wild fish.

Some avoid all grains and legumes as well. Kitava has white rice – that’s the only one that’s permissible because it’s easier for the body to digest – but the Paleo-friendly cauliflower rice is also on offer. Some also avoid vegetables in the nightshade family: tomato, eggplant and peppers. This means that spices like cayenne and paprika can’t be used, either, since they are made of dried peppers. Some also avoid seeds, which can be left off most dishes at Kitava. While Kitava’s menus are clearly marked with what’s vegan and/or vegetarian, there’s a special menu given to those on the AIP diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122204\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\" alt=\"Kitava Kitchen menu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitava Kitchen menu. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a diet heavy in vegetables and protein; pastured and organic meats and wild fish.

"content": "\u003cp>Pick up any packaged, processed food, and there's a decent chance that one of its listed ingredients will be \"natural flavor.\" The ingredient sounds good, particularly in contrast to another common and mysterious ingredient, \"artificial flavor.\" But what exactly does natural flavor mean? When a reader posed the question, I contacted nutritionists and flavorists — yes, that's a profession — to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Basically, if something is a natural flavor, it's derived from some natural source,\" explains \u003ca href=\"http://www.nycfoodpolicy.org/about/staff-and-faculty/\">Charles Platkin\u003c/a>, director of the New York City Food Policy Center at Hunter College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=501.22\">defines\u003c/a> \"natural flavor\" as oils, resins or other extracts derived from natural sources like plants, meat or seafood. Processes like heating or fermentation are used to extract the flavor. The function of these products is flavoring, not to add any nutritional content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do a lot of this in cooking,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciachef.edu/bruce-mattel/\">Chef Bruce Mattel\u003c/a>, senior associate dean of culinary arts at The Culinary Institute of America. \"Let's say I poach shrimp in water. Then I take that big pot and reduce it all the way down to a teaspoon of shrimp essence.\" That essence could then be added to a different dish. The food industry does this on a massive scale — scientists find the chemical responsible for a specific flavor in nature, extract it, and then add it to candy, beverages and throngs of other processed products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When consumers see \"natural flavor\" on a beverage label, they shouldn't assume that someone is zesting oranges into their bottle, says Mattel. Even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it need not all come from the plant or meat whose flavor is being mimicked. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if companies are trying to approximate flavors like orange, why not just use oranges? The answer comes down to availability, cost and flexibility, according to flavor chemist \u003ca href=\"https://fscn.cfans.umn.edu/faculty-staff/gary-reineccius\">Gary Reineccius,\u003c/a> of the University of Minnesota. \"At one time, there were 10 times more grape-flavored products than grapes grown,\" Reineccius says. \"If you're going to use all your grapes on grape soda, you don't have any for wine. It would be exceedingly expensive. Then what do you do with the byproduct you create after you've sucked all the juice out of the grape?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flavor chemists might also want a particular kind of grape taste, he explains, and mixing the grape flavor in the lab allows them the flexibility to create exactly the flavor they want, rather than relying on farmers' produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three experts say that ultimately, natural and artificial flavors are not that different. While chemists make natural flavors by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavors are made by creating the same chemicals synthetically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platkin says the reason companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many of these products have health halos, and that's what concerns me typically,\" says Platkin. Consumers may believe products with natural flavors are healthier, though they're nutritionally no different from those with artificial flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor are ingredients extracted from nature necessarily safer than something artificially made. Reineccius points out that many deadly toxins are produced in nature. What's more, in some cases, natural flavors may have more detrimental environmental consequences than artificial flavors. Mattel explains that because natural flavors must come from resources in nature, they may involve more forest clear-cutting and carbon emissions from transport than flavors created from scratch in the lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platkin suggests consumers lobby their congressional representatives to get more transparent labeling on packaging that describe exactly what the natural or artificial flavors are, so consumers are not hoodwinked into buying one product over another because of \"natural flavors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reineccius also offers some simple guidance: \"If you like something, and it gives you the flavoring you want, you should buy it. Don't buy it because it says 'natural flavor.'

When a reader posed the question, I contacted nutritionists and flavorists — yes, that's a profession — to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Basically, if something is a natural flavor, it's derived from some natural source,\" explains \u003ca href=\"http://www.nycfoodpolicy.org/about/staff-and-faculty/\">Charles Platkin\u003c/a>, director of the New York City Food Policy Center at Hunter College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=501.22\">defines\u003c/a> \"natural flavor\" as oils, resins or other extracts derived from natural sources like plants, meat or seafood. Processes like heating or fermentation are used to extract the flavor. The function of these products is flavoring, not to add any nutritional content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do a lot of this in cooking,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciachef.edu/bruce-mattel/\">Chef Bruce Mattel\u003c/a>, senior associate dean of culinary arts at The Culinary Institute of America. \"Let's say I poach shrimp in water. Then I take that big pot and reduce it all the way down to a teaspoon of shrimp essence.\" That essence could then be added to a different dish. The food industry does this on a massive scale — scientists find the chemical responsible for a specific flavor in nature, extract it, and then add it to candy, beverages and throngs of other processed products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When consumers see \"natural flavor\" on a beverage label, they shouldn't assume that someone is zesting oranges into their bottle, says Mattel. Even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it need not all come from the plant or meat whose flavor is being mimicked. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The answer comes down to availability, cost and flexibility, according to flavor chemist \u003ca href=\"https://fscn.cfans.umn.edu/faculty-staff/gary-reineccius\">Gary Reineccius,\u003c/a> of the University of Minnesota. \"At one time, there were 10 times more grape-flavored products than grapes grown,\" Reineccius says. \"If you're going to use all your grapes on grape soda, you don't have any for wine. It would be exceedingly expensive. Then what do you do with the byproduct you create after you've sucked all the juice out of the grape?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flavor chemists might also want a particular kind of grape taste, he explains, and mixing the grape flavor in the lab allows them the flexibility to create exactly the flavor they want, rather than relying on farmers' produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three experts say that ultimately, natural and artificial flavors are not that different. While chemists make natural flavors by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavors are made by creating the same chemicals synthetically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platkin says the reason companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many of these products have health halos, and that's what concerns me typically,\" says Platkin. Consumers may believe products with natural flavors are healthier, though they're nutritionally no different from those with artificial flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor are ingredients extracted from nature necessarily safer than something artificially made. Reineccius points out that many deadly toxins are produced in nature. What's more, in some cases, natural flavors may have more detrimental environmental consequences than artificial flavors. Mattel explains that because natural flavors must come from resources in nature, they may involve more forest clear-cutting and carbon emissions from transport than flavors created from scratch in the lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platkin suggests consumers lobby their congressional representatives to get more transparent labeling on packaging that describe exactly what the natural or artificial flavors are, so consumers are not hoodwinked into buying one product over another because of \"natural flavors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reineccius also offers some simple guidance: \"If you like something, and it gives you the flavoring you want, you should buy it. Don't buy it because it says 'natural flavor.' Buy it because you like it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I barely have time to even work with my graduate students. Everything is about dicamba. Every single day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dicamba, an old weedkiller that is being used in new ways, has thrust Bradley and a half-dozen other university weed scientists into the unfamiliar role of whistleblower, confronting what they believe are misleading and scientifically unfounded claims by one of the country's biggest seed and pesticide companies: Monsanto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not comfortable. I'm like anybody else, I don't like [it when] people are unhappy with me,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.weeds.iastate.edu/personnel/owen.htm\">Mike Owen\u003c/a>, a weed specialist at Iowa State University. Then he chuckles. \"But sometimes, like John Wayne said, a man's got to do what a man's got to do!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly, there's not a weed scientist in any of these states who would back down, who would change their story,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://cropsciences.illinois.edu/people/profile/hager\">Aaron Hager\u003c/a>, at the University of Illinois.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tensions between Monsanto and the nation's weed scientists actually began several years ago, when Monsanto first moved to make dicamba the centerpiece of a new weedkilling strategy. The company tweaked the genes in soybeans and cotton and created genetically modified varieties of those crops that can tolerate doses of dicamba. (Normally, dicamba kills those crops.) This allowed farmers to spray the weedkiller directly on their soybean or cotton plants, killing the weeds while their crops survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's an approach that Monsanto pioneered with crops that were genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate, or Roundup. After two decades of heavy exposure to glyphosate, however, devastating weeds like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/03/07/147656157/farmers-face-tough-choice-on-ways-to-fight-new-strains-of-weeds\">Palmer amaranth\u003c/a>, or pigweed, developed resistance to it. So farmers are looking for new weedkilling tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dicamba, however, has a well-known defect. It's volatile; it tends to evaporate from the soil or vegetation where it has been sprayed, creating a cloud of plant-killing vapor that can spread in unpredictable directions. It happens more in hot weather, and Monsanto's new strategy inevitably would mean spraying dicamba in the heat of summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto and two other chemical companies, BASF and DuPont, announced that they had solved this problem with new \"low-volatility\" formulations of dicamba that don't evaporate as easily. Yet the companies — especially Monsanto — made it difficult for university scientists to verify those claims with independent tests before the products were released commercially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish we could have done more testing. We've been asking to do more testing for several years, but the product was not made available to us,\" says Bob Scott, a weed scientist at the University of Arkansas. \"These are proprietary products. Until they release those formulations for testing, we're not allowed to [test them].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make matters worse, Monsanto started selling its new dicamba-tolerant soybeans in 2016, before the new low-volatility formulations of dicamba were even approved for sale. It tempted farmers to use older versions of dicamba on these crops, illegally, and some farmers couldn't resist that temptation. In Arkansas, there were widespread \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/01/487809643/crime-in-the-fields-how-monsanto-and-scofflaw-farmers-hurt-soybeans-in-arkansas\">reports\u003c/a> that dicamba was damaging neighboring fields that didn't have the benefit of Monsanto's new genes. In one case, a dispute between farmers led to a fatal \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=531272125\">shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, at a meeting of weed scientists, Hager confronted Monsanto's representatives. According to Hager, he told the company that \"you knowingly released these varieties in an area of the U.S. where you knew that glyphosate resistance [in weeds] was rampant. When you did that ... you knew what was going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got a blank stare,\" Hager recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past summer, the floodgates on dicamba use opened. The new formulations of dicamba were approved for use (although Arkansas only allowed farmers to use BASF's product, not Monsanto's) and farmers rushed to adopt the new technology. They planted dicamba-tolerant crops on 26 million acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/10/dicamba_not_love_story-2_custom-968664dcf88fa278f1497073c7d0e5450053c5ea-s2500-c85.jpg\" alt=\"A farmer's nightmare weed, glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth, or pigweed, sprouts in a soybean field in Arkansas.

Its evolution has farmers looking for new weedkilling strategies. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles /NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for it is overwhelming. The need to control these difficult-to-manage weeds is huge,\" says Scott Partridge, Monsanto's vice president of global strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When spraying started, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/10/07/555872494/a-wayward-weed-killer-divides-farm-communities-harms-wildlife\">complaints\u003c/a> rolled in. The new \"low volatility\" versions of dicamba didn't stay where they belonged. They drifted into nearby fields, damaging crops there — mostly soybeans, but also vegetables and orchards. There were reports of damage from Mississippi to Minnesota, but the problem was worst in Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the end of May, first of June, it became impossible; the calls were coming in, three or four a day. Sometimes eight or 12 a day,\" says the University of Arkansas' Scott. \"There is no precedent for what we've seen this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, the companies selling these herbicides — both Monsanto and BASF — seemed unconcerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All I got was denial that there was a problem,\" Bradley says. \"What I kept hearing was: It's not a big problem nationwide; we always have these kinds of mistakes or accidents with the introduction of any new technology.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Bradley, a past president of the Weed Science Society of America, started collecting data on crop damage from across the country, mapping the epidemic. By the end of the summer, Bradley estimated that at least 3.1 million acres of crops had shown some injury from drifting dicamba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the scale of dicamba damage increasingly clear, a fierce debate erupted over its cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto's executives insist that the people who sprayed dicamba were just learning how to do it properly and didn't follow directions. Partridge says his company checked out more than a thousand cases of dicamba damage, \"and in 88 percent of those instances, the label was not followed.\" Farmers or pesticide applicators sprayed dicamba too close to neighboring fields, didn't clean out their equipment properly or used the wrong nozzles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every one of those [mistakes] is fixable by education,\" Partridge says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University weed scientists say that that is only part of the explanation and that the problem can't be fixed so easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley, Scott and their colleagues in other states say that much of the damage they saw this year didn't appear to come from \"physical drift\" of windblown droplets of dicamba, coming directly from a sprayer. Physical drift, they say, typically produces a plume of damage that diminishes with distance from the source of the spray. Instead, they saw entire hundred-acre fields of soybeans with cupped leaves, and the damage was uniform from one end to the other. They also saw damage in orchards and fields that were far removed from any fields sprayed with dicamba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This pattern, they say, looks more like what they had feared all along: volatilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is more, the scientists say, field experiments that they finally carried out this summer point toward evaporating dicamba as a cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Scott shows me one such experiment, a field of soybeans at a research station near Lonoke, Ark. Here, soybeans were injured by dicamba that definitely did not enter the field through mistakes in spraying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important to remember, we did not spray this plot,\" Scott says. Instead, at a location far away from this field, he and his colleagues sprayed trays of soil with various dicamba-containing herbicides. Then they carried the trays into this field and placed them between the rows of soybeans for 48 hours. The trays and soybeans were protected underneath plastic hoops — essentially, miniature greenhouses — that were open at each end. The dicamba evaporated from the trays and injured the soybean plants nearby, curling their leaves and stunting their growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people were very disappointed when they saw the plots,\" Scott says. \"A lot of people didn't want to see what they were seeing, and were in disbelief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These observations have huge implications. If the new formulations of dicamba evaporate and spread, they cannot easily be controlled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If this were any other product, I feel like it would be just pulled off the market, and we'd be done with it,\" Scott says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dicamba, and the crops created to tolerate it, aren't just any products. There is big money behind them. Monsanto, seed dealers, farmers who are struggling with weed problems — they all have a stake in this technology. The university scientists who are pointing out problems with them are confronting an economic juggernaut. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto — and farmers who want to use dicamba — have been fighting back. In Arkansas, where state regulators \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/09/22/552803465/arkansas-defies-monsanto-moves-to-ban-rogue-weedkiller\">proposed\u003c/a> a ban on dicamba during the growing season next year, Monsanto recently sued the regulators, arguing that the ban was based on \"unsubstantiated theories regarding product volatility that are contradicted by science.\" The company \u003ca href=\"https://monsanto.com/app/uploads/2017/09/Monsantos-Petition-for-Rulemaking-to-the-Arkansas-State-Plant-B_84746_1.pdf\">called\u003c/a> on regulators to disregard information from Jason Norsworthy, one of the University of Arkansas' weed researchers, because he had recommended that farmers use a non-dicamba alternative from a rival company. Monsanto also attacked the objectivity of Ford Baldwin, a former university weed scientist who now works as a consultant to farmers and herbicide companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I read it as an attack on all of us, and anybody who dares to [gather] outside data,\" Scott says. \"And some of my fellow weed scientists read it that way as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley says executives from Monsanto have made repeated calls to his supervisors. \"What the exact nature of those calls [was], I'm not real sure,\" Bradley says. \"But I'm pretty sure it has something to do with not being happy with what I'm saying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I contacted three academic deans at the University of Missouri, asking for details about the calls. A university spokesman said they were too busy to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto's Partridge says, \"We are not attacking Dr. Bradley. We respect him, his position, opinion, and his work. We respect him, and academics in general.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley says criticism from people in Missouri's farming community whom he has known for years hits him even harder. \"To have somebody say that what [I'm] saying is bad for Missouri agriculture, that's a hard one to take,\" he says. \"There's not a lot of glory in these positions, or major financial incentive.

I'm like anybody else, I don't like [it when] people are unhappy with me,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.weeds.iastate.edu/personnel/owen.htm\">Mike Owen\u003c/a>, a weed specialist at Iowa State University. Then he chuckles. \"But sometimes, like John Wayne said, a man's got to do what a man's got to do!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly, there's not a weed scientist in any of these states who would back down, who would change their story,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://cropsciences.illinois.edu/people/profile/hager\">Aaron Hager\u003c/a>, at the University of Illinois.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tensions between Monsanto and the nation's weed scientists actually began several years ago, when Monsanto first moved to make dicamba the centerpiece of a new weedkilling strategy. The company tweaked the genes in soybeans and cotton and created genetically modified varieties of those crops that can tolerate doses of dicamba. (Normally, dicamba kills those crops.) This allowed farmers to spray the weedkiller directly on their soybean or cotton plants, killing the weeds while their crops survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's an approach that Monsanto pioneered with crops that were genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate, or Roundup. After two decades of heavy exposure to glyphosate, however, devastating weeds like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/03/07/147656157/farmers-face-tough-choice-on-ways-to-fight-new-strains-of-weeds\">Palmer amaranth\u003c/a>, or pigweed, developed resistance to it. So farmers are looking for new weedkilling tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dicamba, however, has a well-known defect. It's volatile; it tends to evaporate from the soil or vegetation where it has been sprayed, creating a cloud of plant-killing vapor that can spread in unpredictable directions. It happens more in hot weather, and Monsanto's new strategy inevitably would mean spraying dicamba in the heat of summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto and two other chemical companies, BASF and DuPont, announced that they had solved this problem with new \"low-volatility\" formulations of dicamba that don't evaporate as easily. Yet the companies — especially Monsanto — made it difficult for university scientists to verify those claims with independent tests before the products were released commercially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish we could have done more testing. We've been asking to do more testing for several years, but the product was not made available to us,\" says Bob Scott, a weed scientist at the University of Arkansas. \"These are proprietary products. Until they release those formulations for testing, we're not allowed to [test them].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make matters worse, Monsanto started selling its new dicamba-tolerant soybeans in 2016, before the new low-volatility formulations of dicamba were even approved for sale. It tempted farmers to use older versions of dicamba on these crops, illegally, and some farmers couldn't resist that temptation. In Arkansas, there were widespread \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/01/487809643/crime-in-the-fields-how-monsanto-and-scofflaw-farmers-hurt-soybeans-in-arkansas\">reports\u003c/a> that dicamba was damaging neighboring fields that didn't have the benefit of Monsanto's new genes. In one case, a dispute between farmers led to a fatal \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=531272125\">shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, at a meeting of weed scientists, Hager confronted Monsanto's representatives. According to Hager, he told the company that \"you knowingly released these varieties in an area of the U.S. where you knew that glyphosate resistance [in weeds] was rampant. When you did that ... you knew what was going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got a blank stare,\" Hager recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past summer, the floodgates on dicamba use opened. The new formulations of dicamba were approved for use (although Arkansas only allowed farmers to use BASF's product, not Monsanto's) and farmers rushed to adopt the new technology. They planted dicamba-tolerant crops on 26 million acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/10/dicamba_not_love_story-2_custom-968664dcf88fa278f1497073c7d0e5450053c5ea-s2500-c85.jpg\" alt=\"A farmer's nightmare weed, glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth, or pigweed, sprouts in a soybean field in Arkansas.

Its evolution has farmers looking for new weedkilling strategies. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles /NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for it is overwhelming. The need to control these difficult-to-manage weeds is huge,\" says Scott Partridge, Monsanto's vice president of global strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When spraying started, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/10/07/555872494/a-wayward-weed-killer-divides-farm-communities-harms-wildlife\">complaints\u003c/a> rolled in. The new \"low volatility\" versions of dicamba didn't stay where they belonged. They drifted into nearby fields, damaging crops there — mostly soybeans, but also vegetables and orchards. There were reports of damage from Mississippi to Minnesota, but the problem was worst in Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the end of May, first of June, it became impossible; the calls were coming in, three or four a day. Sometimes eight or 12 a day,\" says the University of Arkansas' Scott. \"There is no precedent for what we've seen this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, the companies selling these herbicides — both Monsanto and BASF — seemed unconcerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All I got was denial that there was a problem,\" Bradley says. \"What I kept hearing was: It's not a big problem nationwide; we always have these kinds of mistakes or accidents with the introduction of any new technology.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Bradley, a past president of the Weed Science Society of America, started collecting data on crop damage from across the country, mapping the epidemic. By the end of the summer, Bradley estimated that at least 3.1 million acres of crops had shown some injury from drifting dicamba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the scale of dicamba damage increasingly clear, a fierce debate erupted over its cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto's executives insist that the people who sprayed dicamba were just learning how to do it properly and didn't follow directions. Partridge says his company checked out more than a thousand cases of dicamba damage, \"and in 88 percent of those instances, the label was not followed.\" Farmers or pesticide applicators sprayed dicamba too close to neighboring fields, didn't clean out their equipment properly or used the wrong nozzles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every one of those [mistakes] is fixable by education,\" Partridge says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University weed scientists say that that is only part of the explanation and that the problem can't be fixed so easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley, Scott and their colleagues in other states say that much of the damage they saw this year didn't appear to come from \"physical drift\" of windblown droplets of dicamba, coming directly from a sprayer. Physical drift, they say, typically produces a plume of damage that diminishes with distance from the source of the spray. Instead, they saw entire hundred-acre fields of soybeans with cupped leaves, and the damage was uniform from one end to the other. They also saw damage in orchards and fields that were far removed from any fields sprayed with dicamba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This pattern, they say, looks more like what they had feared all along: volatilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is more, the scientists say, field experiments that they finally carried out this summer point toward evaporating dicamba as a cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Scott shows me one such experiment, a field of soybeans at a research station near Lonoke, Ark. Here, soybeans were injured by dicamba that definitely did not enter the field through mistakes in spraying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important to remember, we did not spray this plot,\" Scott says. Instead, at a location far away from this field, he and his colleagues sprayed trays of soil with various dicamba-containing herbicides. Then they carried the trays into this field and placed them between the rows of soybeans for 48 hours. The trays and soybeans were protected underneath plastic hoops — essentially, miniature greenhouses — that were open at each end. The dicamba evaporated from the trays and injured the soybean plants nearby, curling their leaves and stunting their growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people were very disappointed when they saw the plots,\" Scott says. \"A lot of people didn't want to see what they were seeing, and were in disbelief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These observations have huge implications. If the new formulations of dicamba evaporate and spread, they cannot easily be controlled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If this were any other product, I feel like it would be just pulled off the market, and we'd be done with it,\" Scott says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dicamba, and the crops created to tolerate it, aren't just any products. There is big money behind them. Monsanto, seed dealers, farmers who are struggling with weed problems — they all have a stake in this technology. The university scientists who are pointing out problems with them are confronting an economic juggernaut. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto — and farmers who want to use dicamba — have been fighting back. In Arkansas, where state regulators \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/09/22/552803465/arkansas-defies-monsanto-moves-to-ban-rogue-weedkiller\">proposed\u003c/a> a ban on dicamba during the growing season next year, Monsanto recently sued the regulators, arguing that the ban was based on \"unsubstantiated theories regarding product volatility that are contradicted by science.\" The company \u003ca href=\"https://monsanto.com/app/uploads/2017/09/Monsantos-Petition-for-Rulemaking-to-the-Arkansas-State-Plant-B_84746_1.pdf\">called\u003c/a> on regulators to disregard information from Jason Norsworthy, one of the University of Arkansas' weed researchers, because he had recommended that farmers use a non-dicamba alternative from a rival company. Monsanto also attacked the objectivity of Ford Baldwin, a former university weed scientist who now works as a consultant to farmers and herbicide companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I read it as an attack on all of us, and anybody who dares to [gather] outside data,\" Scott says. \"And some of my fellow weed scientists read it that way as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley says executives from Monsanto have made repeated calls to his supervisors. \"What the exact nature of those calls [was], I'm not real sure,\" Bradley says. \"But I'm pretty sure it has something to do with not being happy with what I'm saying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I contacted three academic deans at the University of Missouri, asking for details about the calls. A university spokesman said they were too busy to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto's Partridge says, \"We are not attacking Dr. Bradley. We respect him, his position, opinion, and his work. We respect him, and academics in general.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradley says criticism from people in Missouri's farming community whom he has known for years hits him even harder. \"To have somebody say that what [I'm] saying is bad for Missouri agriculture, that's a hard one to take,\" he says. \"There's not a lot of glory in these positions, or major financial incentive. We chose these jobs to help the farmers in our states.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto's explanation for what happened this summer, and how to prevent it, seems to be carrying the day in Washington, D.C. Two weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/10/13/557607443/with-ok-from-epa-use-of-controversial-weedkiller-is-expected-to-double\">announced\u003c/a> that it will allow continued use of dicamba next year.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
