Ginger Root Powder Cert. Organic (Zingiber officinale; Gan Jiang) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Dried ginger is a traditional pungent spice used worldwide to flavor breads, sauces, curry dishes, confections, pickles, and ginger ale. The peeled root may be preserved by boiling in syrup. In Japan and elsewhere, slices of fresh ginger are eaten between dishes to clear the palate. Dried ginger is an optional component of curry powders, of the chinese five spice powder, of berebere, a spice mixture from Ethiopia, of a traditional Indonesian spice recipe, and in the French spice mixture quatre épices. Candied ginger, sugared, ginger, is one of the world's premier confections. It is wonderful by itself or as an accompaniment to expresso and cakes, Champagne and fruit. Given a bittersweet chocolate coating garnished with chopped macadamia or hazelnuts it is an elegant candy. Chopped or julliened it garnishes pastries, custards, pumpkin pies, stewed fruits, cookies and many other desserts. It is even a welcome accompaniment to a Curry. Ginger is used medically to help expel gas from the intestines and treat nausea from morning sickness, upset stomach, seasickness, and motion sickness. It is also used to help reduce fevers and lessen the symptoms of colds. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Ginger root for 'Dyspepsia, prevention of motion sickness.' 'Contraindications: With gallstones, only to be used after consultation with a physician.' 'Daily dosage: 2 - 4 g rhizome; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Chopped or comminuted rhizome and dry extracts for teas, other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Actions: Antiemetic; Positively inotropic; Promoting secretion of saliva and gastric juices; Cholagogue. In animals: antispasmodic. In humans: increase in tonus and peristalsis in intestines.' Ginger's ability to prevent vomiting has been verified by clinical trial, and it has been shown to stimulate the intestines and promote production of saliva, digestive juices, and fat-processing bile. It also tends to boost the pumping action of the heart. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, carminative, given in dyspepsia and flatulent colic excellent to add to bitter infusions; specially valuable in alcoholic gastritis; of use for diarrhoea from relaxed bowel where there is no inflammation.' 'Ginger Tea is a hot infusion very useful for stoppage of the mensesdue to cold, externally it is a rubefacient.' 'Dosage: Infusion: ½ oz. bruised or powdered root to 1 pint boiling water is taken in 1 fluid ounce. Dose, 10 to 20 grains.' 'Preparation: Fluid extract, 10 to 20 drops. Tincture, B.P., ½ to 1 drachm. Syrup, B.P. and U.S.P., ½ to 1 drachm. Oleoresin, U.S.P., ½ grain.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Ginger is stimulant, rubefacient, errhine, and sialagogue. When chewed it occasions an increased flow of saliva, and when swallowed it |

Corn, Sweet Whole (Zea mays) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Corn or maize is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Over a period of thousands of years, Native Americans purposefully transformed maize from a wild grass (Teosinte) originally growing in southern Mexico 7,000 years ago. By systematically collecting and cultivating those plants best suited for human consumption, Native Americans encouraged the formation of ears or cobs on early maize. The first ears of maize were only a few inches long and had only eight rows of kernels. Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. This sweet, nutitious vegetable eventually transformed human agriculture worldwide. |

Lentil, French, Cert. Organic (Lens culinaris esculenta) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Lentil Salad: http://robbiehaf.com/Recipes/L/305.htm: Serves : 10 Prep. Time : 0:30 1 cup dried lentils 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced red onion 2 cloves garlic - minced 1 bay leaf ½ tsp. dried thyme water - as needed ¼ cup olive oil 2 Tbls. lemon juice - preferably fresh ½ cup diced celery ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tsp. salt ¼ tsp. ground black pepper -In a saucepan combine lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme. -Add enough water to cover by 1'. -Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until lentils are tender but not mushy. -Drain lentils and vegetables and remove bay leaf. -Add olive oil, lemon juice, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper. -Toss to mix and serve at room temperature. Vegetarian Pastichio: http://www.recipecottage.com/vegetarian/pastitsio.html: This comes in three layers, the bottom layer is a layer of cooked pasta, the second is a layer of spicy lentil and tomato mix, the third is a topping of a mix of eggs, milk and cheese. Very tasty and filling too. 6 oz pasta 8 oz red lentils olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 green pepper, chopped some mushrooms, chopped large tin of tamatoes, chopped ½ tsp oregano ½ tsp cinnamon (though I use more) pint of water or unsalted stock salt pepper for the topping: 2 eggs 3/4 pint of white sauce/bechamel 3 oz grated cheddar cheese Heat the olive oil and fry the onions till they're soft then add the pepper and the mushrooms and the garlic and cook. You can also add anything else at this stage that seems a good thing, a courgette (zucchini if you're American) or even a chilli chopped very fine. Mix in everything else (LOTS of cinnamon!) and then bring to the boil and cook until the liquid has mostly gone and you are left with a nice thick spicy sauce and the lentils are soft. I find that you usually have to add some boiling water during the cooking. Now you can heat the oven to 200 C, which is errrrrr 400 F, gas mark 6. Cook the pasta till it's just cooked and put it in the bottom of an oven dish, spoon the lentil mix on top and then on the top put the beaten eggs/white sauce mix and then sprinke the cheese (and also some breadcrumbs if you like a bit of a crunch like me) and put it all in the oven for about 30 - 40 minutes or until it's nice and brown on top. |
