`Tis the Season!
Thoreau
Foods
cereals, toppings, oatmeal’s and smoothie boosters are made
from unique, delicious blends of ingredients designed to give
your body what it wants and what it needs. They are functional
foods.
We often get the question, “How do I use
them?” Because
our products are so versatile, that’s not exactly an easy
question. Here’s
the long answer …….
·
Thoreau Foods Cold
Cereals - our favorite is to mix 1/3 to 1/2 cup TF
Cereal with milk to make loose. Eat right away with
fresh fruit or, for optimal flavor and nutrition, let sit in
the refrigerator overnight and then add fruit.
·
Thoreau Foods Oatmeals
–
mix 1/3 cup TF Oatmeal Cereal with 1/3 cup of water. Bring to a boil and
simmer 2 – 5 minutes.
Add fresh fruit during the simmer or after depending on
desired consistency.
·
Thoreau Foods
Toppings - Use 1 – 2 tablespoons as a nutritious topping
on other cereals (both hot and cold) or mix with yogurt, ice
cream, fruit salad, pancake mix, cottage cheese etc. Add omega 3’s, protein
and fiber along with great flavor and crunch to your Apple
Pies, Apple Crisps, Cookies, Breads, and Muffin recipes. Click
for Recipes.
·
Thoreau Foods Smoothie
Boosters – Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of
The
Omega 3, The Antioxidant , The Cholesterol Killer or The
Memory Booster to your favorite smoothie
recipe. You can also use these
products just like our toppings to enhance yogurts, cereals,
salads, breads and more.

Ingredient of the
Month:
Sunflower Seed
The beautiful
Sunflower plant, with its rays emanating from its seed studded
center, produces the tear shaped sunflower seed which is a
great source of vitamin E, B complex, and the minerals
magnesium, selenium, potassium, folate, iron, zinc, copper and
calcium. A
functional food, the sunflower seed provides an ideal heart
healthy fat profile, is naturally high in protein and fiber
and low in carbohydrates. The antioxidants found
in sunflower seeds help prevent oxidative stress which is
associated with heart disease. Data from the Iowa
Women’s Health Study showed that vitamin E rich foods such as
sunflower seeds were associated with a lower risk of death
from stroke while the same was not true for supplemental
vitamin E. Other
antioxidants found in sunflower seeds include Selenium which
works with vitamin E to protect cells from damage that may
cause heart disease and Copper which provides antioxidant
enzymes to the body.
Finally, the “good” fat (mono and polyunsaturated),
found in sunflower seeds, along with its high protein low-carb
ratio, assists in weight control while offering protection in
heart disease.
