3.A Whole Wheat Pasta Taste Test
When TV chefs praise the taste of whole-grain pasta, you know it must be good. The best new types are nutty and firm, not gluey like older ones. Dress them with spicy tomato sauce or hearty spinach-and-walnut pesto. Some «super» pastas have extras like flaxseed or legume powder, which can ruin the taste. Look for durum, spelt, or farro wheat pasta.
4.Quinoa: Trendy and Tasty
This Peruvian seed has gone mainstream. It has a mild flavor, fills in nicely for rice, and is easy to cook in about 15 minutes. Match quinoa’s mild flavor with vegetables or sweet chunks of fruit. Or try tossing it in a salad with peppers, corn, and black beans. You can mix it into patties with egg, onion, and grated cheese instead of ground beef.
