Hummus the Next Guac? Middle Eastern Gets Mod

admin — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:52:03 +0000

As one of the millions of Americans who don’t like falafel, I feel somewhat chagrined today. Like many of my countrymen, I made a series of mistakes, errors of perception that drove me further into the darkness. First of all, I thought the fried chickpea balls I had tried were competently made, when in fact they weren’t. Then, I thought this bad falafel was a good representative of Middle Eastern cooking, at least of the kind I was likely to encounter at restaurants. Since most of the kebabs, hummus, and other Middle Eastern staples were no better than the falafel that I tended to encounter in New York, I felt justified in thinking, and even saying, that I didn’t like Middle Eastern food. My wife, who has Israeli dual citizenship, thought this misguided; but then she said the same thing about buying an Audi on Craigslist, and look how right I was about that!

			Chia was cultivated by the ancient Aztecs, and was honored as a power food. Chia is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, especially a-linolenic acid (ALA). Scientific research on omega-3 and other essential fatty acids (EFA) continues to prove that EFA´s support cardiovascular health, comfortable joint mobility, immune system function and cellular energy.

			Chia seed is the highest vegetable source of omega 3 (ALA-Alpha-Linolenic acid) that is a member of the group of essential fatty acids, so-called because they can not be produced within the body and must be acquired through diet. This ALA is the precursor of the EPA and DHA fatty acids, in other words the body enzymes will break down the ALA into EPA and DHA, the fatty acids that play a vital role in the following metabolic processes: - Freedom from pain and inflammation. - Better brain function and higher intelligence. - Feeling better with much less depression. - Superior cardiovascular health. - Protection from heart attack and stroke. You can consume Chia as a supplement in 4 different ways, the Chia Seed, Chia flour, Chia Oil and Chia gelcaps.

During the month of July Sesajal participated as a visitor at the “Fancy Food Show” in New York and the “Ingredient Food Technology” in Chicago, where we were able to visit with several of our clients and friends and to see the market tendencies and the use of new technology.

Avocado oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit. Research places avocado on par with olive oil for its apparently healthful ratio of saturated and unsaturated fats. It is used as ingredient in several dishes, and as a cooking and dressing oil. It is also used for lubrication and in cosmetics where it is valued for its regenerative and moisturizing properties.v

Also it has an unusually high smoke point of 491°F (255°C), and functions well as a carrier oil for other flavors. It is high in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Like olive oil, avocado oil is one of few vegetable oils not derived from seeds; it is pressed from the fleshy pulp surrounding the avocado pit.

In Sesajal we use only the best avocados of Mexico for our refined oil.
