Soy foods have grown in popularity as consumers learn more about associated health benefits -- soy food sales are expected to reach $4 billion for 2003. Several studies have shown that soy products help lower cholesterol and reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms, as well as reducing the risk of certain types of cancer, such as breast and prostate. Soy products are also a great way for consumers to get high quality protein in their diets with less fat and cholesterol than animal protein.
For consumers who want to add the benefits of soy to their diet, the good news is that the wide variety of soy products available today makes it easy. Crum Creek Mills, a Springfield, Penn.-based soy foods company, specializes in making everyday food items healthier with the addition of soy. No more trying to figure out how to make tofu palatable to your family -- they'll be eating foods they already like, made healthier with the addition of soy.
"We focus on products everyone knows and loves," says Rich Rothman, general manager. For example, the company's soy protein pancake mix or soy protein muffin mix would be a great addition to any brunch menu. Choose from buttermilk or blueberry pancake mix and from three muffin varieties: Bold Banana Walnut, Bountiful Blueberry and Brilliant Bran.
Another easy way to add the benefits of soy to your meals is to opt for soy protein pasta as a base for your favorite sauce. Fast, filling, nutritious and delicious, these pastas provide between 70 and 90 percent more protein and up to 20 percent fewer carbohydrates than regular pastas. Every 2-ounce serving packs 13 grams of protein and only 36 grams of carbohydrates. This better balance of protein to carbohydrates provides the body with consistent energy over time. Crum Creek has a pasta for every need -- Passionate Penne, Savory Spaghetti, Fabulous Fettuccine, Heavenly Angel Hair and an all-time favorite made healthier, Marvelous Mac and Cheese.
If you or someone you know is looking for a fun way to sample a variety of soy foods, the Soy to the World gift pack is just the thing. It includes three boxes of soy protein pasta in assorted shapes; one box of soy protein macaroni & cheese (the kids will love it); two packs of Soy Bites Breadstick Snacks in assorted flavors; one bag of soy protein muffin mix; one bag of soy protein pancake mix; one bag of soy nuts; and one bag of soy nut mix. All this soy goodness comes attractively packed and can be shipped directly to friends, family, business associates, neighbors -- anyone who enjoys good eating and good health.
The scientist who invented a microwave oven, least knew what a magnificent equipment he was leaving behind for the generations to come. Thanks to him. Microwave ovens are mainly used in large restaurants, homes to every nook and corner of the world where the snack shops are located. The frequency of a microwave oven has many amounts of property. The heating is done quickly as the water, fats; oils are easily absorbed by them. It is easy to use microwave oven to heat the food without heating the container. The food gets heated within minutes.
To understand the significance of the microwave oven, I would like to share some tips for you. For instance, boiling the potatoes or eggs on an ordinary gas stove takes a long procedure. You would put the potatoes in a container filled with water, and heat it. Like this, the heat is first transferred to the container, then to the potatoes. And you are wasting your energy, water as well as fuel. But boiling the potatoes in a microwave oven is a very simple. Just place the potatoes in a plate, and place the plate in the oven. Switch the oven and set the time. It will take hardly 5 minutes and the potatoes are boiled without any hassle. The waves absorb the excess water, resulting in cooking up the potatoes from inside quickly. So no energy is wasted. The food is directly cooked.
As today, all are very health conscious; they prefer to have a well planned diet. Since cooking on ordinary gas stove can destroy the nutrients present in the food so cooking food in a microwave oven has always proved to be nutritious and delicious as compared to the food cooked on the ordinary gas stove. So, if you are planning to buy a new microwave oven, don't wait, just log on to the Toronto appliances an place an order immediately. I would like to share my choice with you that I've been living with an L.G. microwave oven as it has proved to be very beneficial to me. I am very fond of cooking. I can't imagine cooking without my microwave oven. On my part of my experience I would suggest that it would be a wise decision if you buy an L.G. product. But again the final choice is all yours. It varies from person to person.
Using a microwave oven, you can make every day better than the last. The microwave oven automatically adjusts the time based on the type of food we prepare. Cooking was very easy and enjoyable with a microwave oven for my sister. Then one day her old microwave oven got spoilt. She was going through all the long procedures to make a simple meal for herself cooking on the ordinary gas stoves. Most of her free time was being spent busy preparing goodies for her little kids. She was not able to spend time with them. So I suggested her to buy the oven online through Toronto appliances website. She did that and now she is happy to get her new microwave oven which was shipped to her in a few days of time.
