&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
You can find them in soups, stews, fried or baked.&amp;nbsp; The possibilities are endless, but every time I&#39;m shopping for them, people ask me how I cook them.&amp;nbsp; They are virtually unknown to the Northern hemisphere.&amp;nbsp; A rarity to be eaten in &quot;tostones&quot; at Cuban restaurants.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/p/baked-patacones.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Patacones &lt;/a&gt;(fried or baked green plantains) are great as a side dish or as a base that can be topped with almost anything, from scrambled eggs to &lt;a href=&quot;http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/p/patacones-with-shrimp-ceviche.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;shrimp ceviche&lt;/a&gt;.

They are usually served as a side dish. instead of potatoes. They&#39;re best when the skin is turning black in the outside, but still firm. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/p/baked-plantains-with-cheese.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Platanos asados con queso&quot;&lt;/a&gt; (Baked ripe plantains with fresh cheese). These are easy, and oh so good.&amp;nbsp; Just let the plantains ripen until the skins are totally black.&amp;nbsp; Preheat the oven to 350ºF, put the unpeeled plantains on a baking sheet to bake for 30 minutes.&amp;nbsp; Take them out, let them cool for a few minutes, remove the skins and discard them.&amp;nbsp; Cut a slit lengthwise and insert a ¼ inch mozzarella sticks inside.&amp;nbsp; Return to the hot oven for five more minutes, or until cheese melts and browns. These are sure to go well with poultry or meat dishes.&lt;br /&gt;

I do, specially with a cup of tea while I blog. But some times that sweet treat will turn into a brick in my tummy, making me feel sluggish the rest of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I found some quinoa flour at the store, decided to give it a try and came up with a sinfully delicious loaf out of my oven. Mmmm! My husband and my kids love it too. The best thing is that it leavens wonderfully, has a mild quinoa flavor, which is high in protein with all the essential amino acids, and it doesn&#39;t spike sugar levels in the blood like other baking mixes do. Besides this recipe has no additives whatsoever, just pure goodness. Try it in the link above, and let me know what do you think.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great day and keep living free.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;En mi columna
anterior mensioné que he encontrado dos nuevos ingredientes en mi repertorio y
que yo no me sentía cómoda comiéndolos. Más adelante les explicaré porque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mi filosofía en alimentación es tratar de comer ingredientes sin procesar y
reconocibles, como los que mi bisabuela y hasta mi abuela cocinaban. Si no
estaban en su lista de compras, no deben estar en la mia, ¿verdad? Así que
reviso la lista de ingredientes en cada artículo que encuentro en el
supermercado. Estoy sorprendida por la longitud de la lista de ingredientes
para la mayoría de los artículos que se encuentran en los estantes. Y no estoy
hablando sólo de los alimentos convencionales. Los llamados alimentos &amp;nbsp;”&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;saludables”&lt;/i&gt;
también están llenos de aditivos. Echemos un vistazo a algunos pasteles instantáneos
para la tostadora orgánicos mis hijos me piden que les compre). Ingredientes:
Harina de trigo, jugo de caña evaporado, aceite de palma, &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;jugo de caña invertido evaporado&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,
manzanas, harina de trigo integral, frambuesas, fresas, &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;gluten vital de trigo&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,
arándanos, almidón de maíz, sal marina, miel, melaza, coloreados con &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;betalaínas&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
y &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;extracto
de pimentón&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (vegetal), &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;extracto de salvado de arroz&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;ácido
cítrico&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, polvo de açaí, &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;algina&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;citrato de sodio, fosfato mono
calcio, concentrado de proteína de suero (leche)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Todos los ingredientes anteriores en negrita cursiva, son cosas que mi abuela
nunca habría pensado que podría comprar o incluso ingerir. Algunos son inocuos,
como &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;jugo de caña&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; invertido&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; evaporado &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, es sólo una forma más dulce de azúcar o
jarabe obtenido por calentamiento de 2 partes de sacarosa y 1 parte de agua.
Esto hace que la sacarosa de divida entre sus dos componentes, glucosa y
fructosa. Algo que nuestras abuelas hacían para preparar fondant y otras
delicias. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betalaínas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (son colorantes extraídos de la remolacha), &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;algina&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (es una
goma extraída de algas pardas). &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extracto de salvado de arroz&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, también conocido
como aceite de salvado de arroz, es rico en vitamina E. El &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;concentrado de
proteína de suero&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (de leche), como su nombre lo dice, es la proteína contenida
en el suero, la porción acuosa de la leche que se separa de la cuajada durante
la fabricación del queso. La proteína del suero se utiliza para mejorar el
rendimiento atlético, como un suplemento alimenticio, como una alternativa a la
leche para las personas con intolerancia a la lactosa, para sustituir o
complementar fórmulas a base de leche para lactantes, y para revertir la
pérdida de peso y aumentar el glutatión (GSH) en personas con Virus de Imunodeficiencia
Humana (VIH). El &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;citrato de sodio&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; y &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;fosfato de mono calcio&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; son conservantes, para
alargar la “vida” de los alimentos se en el estante. Sin embargo estos no son ingredientes
que voy a usar en mi cocina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;extracto de pimentón&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; es otro tema, es un extracto soluble en aceite de los
frutos del Capsicum Annum Linn o Capsicum frutescens (chile indio rojo). La
extracción se realiza por percolación con una variedad de disolventes,
principalmente &lt;b&gt;hexano&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De acuerdo con un informe del Instituto Cornucopia, hexano se utiliza para
extraer el aceite de granos y semillas, así como proteína de soya, hasta tal
punto que, en 2007, los procesadores de granos fueron responsables de más de
dos tercios de las emisiones de hexano en el Estados Unidos. El informe también
señaló que el hexano puede persistir en el producto alimenticio final que se
creó, en una muestra de soya procesada, el aceite contenía 10 ppm, la harina 21
ppm &amp;nbsp;y la sémola 14 ppm de hexano. Los
efectos adversos para la salud parece ser específico de n-hexano, pero son muy
reducidos o nulos para otros isómeros. Por lo tanto, la industria alimentaria
de extracción de aceites, que se basaba en gran medida en el uso de hexano, ha
estado considerando el cambio a otros solventes, incluyendo isohexano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En cuanto a la &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;goma Xantan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; y la&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; goma Guar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, que se encuentran en la mayoría de
los productos&amp;nbsp; de panadería exentos de
gluten o en las mezclas listas para hacer pasteles, galletas o pan, esto es lo
que he encontrado: La goma Xantan es un polisacárido, que se deriva de la capa
bacteriana de Xanthomonas campestris (la bacteria que causa manchas negras en
el brócoli, la coliflor, y algunas otras verduras de hoja verde), se utiliza
como aditivo alimenticio y modificador de la masa, [2] se utiliza habitualmente
como agente espesante de alimentos (en aderezos para ensaladas, por ejemplo) y como
estabilizador (en productos cosméticos, por ejemplo, para evitar que los ingredientes
se separen). Es producido por la fermentación de la glucosa, sacarosa o lactosa
&amp;nbsp;por la bacteria Xanthomonas campestris.
Después de un período de fermentación, los polisacáridos se precipitan de su
medio de crecimiento con alcohol isopropílico, se secan, y son molidos en un
polvo fino. Posteriormente, se añaden a un medio líquido para formar la goma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La goma guar, también llamada ga, es un galactomanano. Es sobre todo el
endosperma triturado de los granos de guar. Las semillas de guar se descascarillan,
blanquean y se tamizan para obtener la goma de guar. [1] Normalmente se produce
como un polvo suelto, pálido, casi blanco de color, de textura gruesa a fina. El
guar es originario de la India y Pakistán. De acuerdo con un informe de
Reuters, la India produce alrededor del 80 por ciento del comercio mundial de
productos de guar. Se utiliza sobre todo como espesante en la industria
alimentaria y agente retardante por la industria farmacéutica. La goma guar se
puede utilizar en bebidas, sopas, salsas y postres cremosos, en particular pudines
y helados, ya que evita la formación de cristales de hielo. Como un tipo de
fibra soluble, la goma guar afecta a la rapidez con que la glucosa es absorbida
por el cuerpo y pueden tener algunos efectos secundarios gastrointestinales
desagradables.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Como pueden ver, todas estas gomas y aditivos que no estaban en las listas de
compra de nuestras abuelas y bisabuelas puede mejorar el valor nutricional y la
vida útil de los alimentos &quot;saludables&quot; y empacados &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;en el papel, pero en
realidad nuestro organismo no está&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt; preparado para digerir toda esta parafernalia de alimentos nuevos, por lo
tanto, sufrimos las consecuencias con distensión abdominal, estreñimiento,
diarrea, sensación de llenura excesiva, y otros efectos secundarios.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entonces, ¿qué debe una madre o un padre hacer cuando los niños piden este tipo
de productos en la tienda y están a punto de lanzar una pataleta? Mantener la
calma y explicar que este tipo de alimentos no son buenos para nosotros por
todos los aditivos, e incentivarlos a hacer una mejor elección, como fruta
fresca o granola con yogur (asegúrese que el yogur no está lleno de aditivos espesantes,
colorantes y azúcar adicional). Puede ser que los niños no estén de acuerdo inmediatamente,
pero poco a poco van a aprender qué es lo mejor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tengan un feliz día y sigan viviendo libremente!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/feeds/7459464761492532157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/2012/03/que-son-la-goma-xantan-y-la-goma-guar.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7408306130974856140/posts/default/7459464761492532157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7408306130974856140/posts/default/7459464761492532157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/2012/03/que-son-la-goma-xantan-y-la-goma-guar.html' title='Que son la Goma Xantan y la Goma Guar'/><author><name>SinGlutenFree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12653601966212244642</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQAv-Kl-XWjD1_b_FtMrrMy4iChgcvvBzvbHNXH_Sg0VZf94FNjI280HHnnq_u3OroLEY4HjRC45ImjeuPWG1hNrCY9HU7J1jNTNQ52z02_yOLwRVoIHBNa0jaBcLsg/s220/MariaJ.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Boulder, CO, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>40.0149856 -105.2705456</georss:point><georss:box>39.917697600000004 -105.4284741 40.1122736 -105.11261710000001</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408306130974856140.post-1131551736689160898</id><published>2012-03-02T09:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-06T10:11:44.076-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Bloating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="celiac disease"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Constipation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Diarrhea"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="diet"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="gluten"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Guar Gum"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Hexane"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lactose"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nutrition"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sucrose"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wheat"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Xanthan Gum"/><title type='text'>What are Xantan Gum and Guar Gum?</title><content type='html'>In my previous post I mentioned that I&#39;ve found two ingredients new to my repertoire and that I didn&#39;t feel comfortable eating them. More about them in a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My philosophy on food is to try to eat unprocessed and recognizable ingredients, like those that my great and even my grandmother would recognize. If it wasn&#39;t in their shopping list, it shouldn&#39;t be in mine. Right? So, I double check the ingredients in every single article I find at the grocery store. I&#39;m amazed at the length of the ingredient list for most articles that line up the isles. And I&#39;m talking not just about the conventional foods. The so called &lt;i&gt;heath foods&lt;/i&gt; are also full of additives. Let&#39;s take a look to some organic &quot;toaster pastries&quot; (my kids beg me to buy them). Ingredients: Wheat flour, evaporated cane juice, palm oil, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;evaporated cane juice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;invert&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, apples, whole wheat flour, raspberries, strawberries, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;vital wheat gluten&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, blueberries, corn starch, sea salt, honey, molasses, colored with &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;betalains&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;paprika extract (from plants), rice bran extract, citric acid&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, açai powder, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;algin, sodium citrate, mono calcium phosphate, whey protein concentrate (milk)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the above ingredients in bold italic letters, are things that my grandmother would have never thought she could buy or even ingest. some are innocuous like &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;evaporated cane juice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;invert,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is just a
 sweeter form of sugar or syrup obtained by heating 2 parts of sucrose 
and 1 part water. This makes the sucrose split into its two components, 
glucose and fructose. Something that our grandmothers did to make
 fondants and other treats.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betalains&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (is food coloring extracted from beets), &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;algin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (is a gum extracted from brown seaweed). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rice bran extract&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, also known as rice bran oil, is rich in vitamin E.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-833-WHEY+PROTEIN.aspx?activeIngredientId=833&amp;amp;activeIngredientName=WHEY+PROTEIN&amp;amp;source=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;hey protein concentrate (milk)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;is the protein contained in whey, the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese. &amp;nbsp;

Whey protein is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/lactose-intolerance-topic-overview&quot;&gt;lactose intolerance&lt;/a&gt;, for replacing or supplementing milk-based &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/default.htm&quot;&gt;infant&lt;/a&gt; formulas, and for reversing &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/diet/default.htm&quot;&gt;weight loss&lt;/a&gt; and increasing glutathione (GSH) in people with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/default.htm&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/a&gt; disease.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sodium citrate and mono calcium phosphate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; are preservatives, that help food stay &quot;fresh&quot; longer on the shelf. They are not ingredients that I&#39;ll use in a regular kitchen. &lt;i style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paprika extract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is another issue, it&#39;s an oil soluble extract from the fruits of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum&quot; title=&quot;Capsicum&quot;&gt;Capsicum&lt;/a&gt; Annum Linn or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum&quot; title=&quot;Capsicum&quot;&gt;Capsicum&lt;/a&gt; Frutescens (Indian red chillies). Extraction is performed by percolation with a variety of solvents, primarily &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane&quot; title=&quot;Hexane&quot;&gt;hexane&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to a report by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cornucopia.org/2010/11/hexane-soy/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cornucopia Institute&lt;/a&gt;,
 hexane is used to extract oil from grains and seeds, as well as protein from soy, 
to such an extent that in 2007, grain processors were responsible for 
more than two-thirds of hexane emissions in the United States.
 The report also pointed out that the hexane can persist in the final 
food product created; in a sample of processed soy, the oil contained 10
 ppm, the meal 21 ppm and the grits 14 ppm hexane. The adverse health effects seem specific to &lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt;-hexane;
 they are much reduced or absent for other isomers. Therefore, the food 
oil extraction industry, which relied heavily on hexane, has been 
considering switching to other solvents, including &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isohexane&quot; title=&quot;Isohexane&quot;&gt;isohexane&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Xanthan Gum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Guar Gum,&lt;/i&gt; found in most Gluten-Free bread-like articles in the store or ready-to-make mixes, this is what I&#39;ve found:&lt;i&gt; Xanthan gum&lt;/i&gt; is a &lt;i&gt;polysaccharide&lt;/i&gt;, derived from the bacterial coat of &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthomonas_campestris&quot; title=&quot;Xanthomonas campestris&quot;&gt;Xanthomonas campestris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (the bacteria that causes black spots on broccoli, cauliflower, and some other leafy greens), is used as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://nutritiondata.self.com/topics/food-additives&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;food additive&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheology&quot; title=&quot;Rheology&quot;&gt;rheology&lt;/a&gt; modifier,&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum#cite_note-1&quot;&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; commonly used as a food thickening agent (in salad dressings, for example) and a stabilizer (in &lt;nobr&gt;cosmetic products&lt;/nobr&gt;, for example, to prevent ingredients from separating). It is produced by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_%28biochemistry%29&quot; title=&quot;Fermentation (biochemistry)&quot;&gt;fermentation&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose&quot; title=&quot;Glucose&quot;&gt;glucose&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose&quot; title=&quot;Sucrose&quot;&gt;sucrose&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose&quot; title=&quot;Lactose&quot;&gt;lactose&lt;/a&gt; by the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthomonas_campestris&quot; title=&quot;Xanthomonas campestris&quot;&gt;Xanthomonas campestris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterium&quot; title=&quot;Bacterium&quot;&gt;bacterium&lt;/a&gt;. After a fermentation period, the polysaccharides are precipitated from a growth medium with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol&quot; title=&quot;Isopropyl alcohol&quot;&gt;isopropyl alcohol&lt;/a&gt;, dried, and ground into a fine powder. Later, it is added to a liquid medium to form the gum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livestrong.com/article/339250-problems-with-guar-gum/#ixzz1n9yGC2ab&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Guar gum&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, also called &lt;b&gt;guaran&lt;/b&gt;, is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactomannan&quot; title=&quot;Galactomannan&quot;&gt;galactomannan&lt;/a&gt;. It is primarily the ground &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosperm&quot; title=&quot;Endosperm&quot;&gt;endosperm&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guar&quot; title=&quot;Guar&quot;&gt;guar beans&lt;/a&gt;. The guar seeds are husked, milled and screened to obtain the guar gum.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-0&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guar_Gum#cite_note-0&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; It is typically produced as a free-flowing, pale, off-white-colored, coarse to fine ground powder. Guar beans are originally from India and Pakistan. According to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuters&quot; title=&quot;Reuters&quot;&gt;Reuters&lt;/a&gt; report, India &lt;nobr&gt;accounts&lt;/nobr&gt; for about 80 percent of the global trade in guar products. It is primarily used as a thickener by the food industry and time-release 
agent by the drug industry. Guar gum may be used in beverages, soups, 
gravies and creamy desserts -- particularly pudding and ice cream, as it
 prevents ice crystals from forming. As a type soluble fiber, guar gum 
affects the rate glucose is absorbed by the body and may have some 
unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As
 you can see, all these gums and additives that weren&#39;t on our 
grandmother&#39;s and great-grandmother&#39;s&amp;nbsp; shopping lists might improve the 
nutritional value and shelf life of this &quot;&lt;i&gt;healthier&lt;/i&gt;&quot; prepackaged foods on paper, but in reality our organism is not ready to digest all this new &lt;i&gt;food &lt;/i&gt;paraphernalia, hence we suffer the consequences with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, excessive feeling of fullness, and other side effects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what is a parent to do when his or her kids ask for this kind of products at the store and they are at the verge of throwing a fit in the spot?
 Just remain calm and explain that this kind of foods aren&#39;t good for us
 because all the additives, and prompt them to make a better choice, 
like fresh fruit or granola with yogurt (make sure is not full of fillers, colorants 
and extra sugar). They might not agree right there, but little by little
 they will learn what&#39;s best. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great day and keep living free!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;Siempre me ha gustado la buena comida. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;To eat, cook, share.&quot;&gt;Para comer, cocinar, compartir. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;You name it.&quot;&gt;Lo que sea. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Most kinds of food.&quot;&gt;La gran
mayoría de alimentos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I like trying new foods all the time.&quot;&gt;Me
gusta probar alimentos nuevos todo el tiempo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Now I&#39;m challenged because I can&#39;t eat one of the most ubiquitous ingredients: wheat.&quot;&gt;Ahora
estoy enfrentada al problema de no poder comer en uno de los ingredientes más
comunes: el trigo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Today was grocery shopping day and I&#39;ve been working on the week&#39;s menu.&quot;&gt;Hoy
fue día de compras y he estado trabajando en el menú de la semana. Decidí &amp;nbsp;hacer uno de mis platos favoritos
tradicionales de mi país natal, Colombia: ajiaco. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;At home we call it, &amp;quot;The Soup Of Love,&amp;quot; I made it for my husband the first time I cooked for him and he loved it.&quot;&gt;En
casa lo llamamos, &quot;La Sopa De Amor,&quot; lo hice para mi marido la primera
vez que cociné para él y le encantó. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;It&#39;s a hearty potato, chicken, and sweet corn soup; garnished with sour cream, fresh cheese, avocado and capers.&quot;&gt;Es
una deliciosa sopa de papas, pollo y maíz tierno, servida con crema, queso
fresco, aguacate y alcaparras. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I make the stock from scratch, with a chicken, onion, carrots, celery, cilantro, bay leafs, salt and pepper.&quot;&gt;Me
gusta preparar el caldo yo misma, con un pollo entero, una cebolla, dos
zanahorias, dos ramas de apio, cilantro, hojas de laurel, sal y pimienta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;It gives it a more homey flavor that reminds me of my mom and her wonderful cooking.&quot;&gt;Le
da un sabor más casero que me recuerda a mi madre y de su maravillosa cocina. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I&#39;ll publish the recipe separately.&quot;&gt;Voy a publicar la receta por
separado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I want to talk about the challenge of cooking food that is gluten-free (GF), but real.&quot;&gt;Quiero
hablar sobre el reto de cocinar SIN GLUTEN pero mantener los alimentos reales. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;There&#39;s a lot of buzz about Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance.&quot;&gt;Hay
un montón de rumores sobre la enfermedad celíaca y la intolerancia al gluten. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Every day I see more articles in newspapers, magazines, the web, books and TV.&quot;&gt;Cada
día veo más artículos en periódicos, revistas, la web, libros y TV. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Restaurants are offering GF menus.&quot;&gt;Los restaurantes están ofreciendo
menús SIN GLUTEN. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;It&#39;s everywhere.&quot;&gt;Está en todas partes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;For the last few years, I&#39;ve noticed the increase in GF products.&quot;&gt;En los
últimos años, he notado el aumento de los productos SIN GLUTEN. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;From pretzels to pasta; a myriad of breads and cookies; even foods that are traditionally GF now carry the Gluten-Free label, like corn tortillas, corn chips and rice cakes.&quot;&gt;Desde
la pasta, una gran variedad de panes y galletas, e incluso los alimentos que
son tradicionalmente SIN GLUTEN ahora llevan la etiqueta de SIN GLUTEN, como los
productos a base de maíz o arroz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;But what does it mean to consume GF foods that aim to replace wheat, rye and barley, without losing the quality and texture of those grains?&quot;&gt;Pero,
¿qué significa consumir alimentos SIN GLUTEN que tienen por objeto sustituir el
trigo, el centeno y la cebada, sin perder la calidad y la textura de estos
granos? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Are we falling for the same pitfalls as the Low-Carb Diet?&quot;&gt;¿Estamos
cayendo en las mismas trampas como la dieta baja en carbohidratos? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;When, sugars were replaced with synthetic sweeteners that later turned out to be worse than the real thing.&quot;&gt;Cuando
el azúcar fue sustituido por edulcorante sintético que más tarde resultó ser
peor que el azúcar en sí. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Or the Low-Fat diet, where saturated fats were replaced by hydrogenated vegetable oils.&quot;&gt;O
la dieta baja en grasa, donde las grasas saturadas fueron reemplazadas por
aceites vegetales hidrogenados. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Now we know how bad trans-fats are for human health.&quot;&gt;Ahora sabemos lo
mal que las grasas trans son para la salud humana. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Most of the GF mixes available to make breads, cakes or cookies are based on potato starch, rice flour, or garbanzo bean flour.&quot;&gt;La
mayor parte del los productos pre hechos SIN GLUTEN disponibles en el mercado para
hacer panes, pasteles o galletas están basados &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;​​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt;en almidón de papa, harina de arroz o harina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot;&gt; de garbanzo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I can recognize and pronounce all of these products so I feel OK eating them.&quot;&gt;Puedo
reconocer y pronunciar estos ingredientes así que me siento bien comiéndolos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;However, there are a couple of names associated with these mixes that I haven&#39;t seen before, unless they were in beauty products: Xanthan gum and Guar gum.&quot;&gt;Sin
embargo, hay un par de nombres asociados con estas mezclas que no he visto
antes, a menos que estuvieran en productos de belleza: La goma xantana y goma
guar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;What are these?&quot;&gt;¿Qué es esto? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;and where they come from?&quot;&gt;y de dónde vienen? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, it is produced by the fermentation of corn, wheat, or milk whey by the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium.&quot;&gt;La
goma xantana es un polisacárido, es producido por la fermentación del maíz, el
trigo o el suero de leche &amp;nbsp;por la
bacteria Xanthomonas campestris. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Guar gum, also called guaran is a galactomannan.&quot;&gt;La goma guar, es un
galactomanano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;It is primarily the ground endosperm of guar beans.&quot;&gt;Es sobre todo el
endosperma triturado de los granos de guar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;As you can see the first one is a highly processed ingredient, the second one comes all the way from India, and I don&#39;t feel comfortable using either one.&quot;&gt;Como
se puede ver la primera es un ingrediente altamente procesado, el segundo viene
desde la India, y no me siento a gusto ingiriendo cualquiera de los dos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Fortunately, I&#39;ve researched more on the subject: I&#39;ve found that these ingredients can be replaced with flax seeds and chia seeds.&quot;&gt;Afortunadamente,
he investigado más sobre el tema: He encontrado que estos ingredientes pueden
ser reemplazados con las semillas de linaza y las semillas de chía. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I already use these as egg replacement on many vegan baking recipes and to add some extra nutrition to salads, oats, etc. I&#39;ll bet my doctor is going to be happy to hear this!&quot;&gt;Yo
ya utilizaba estos ingredientes como sustituto del huevo en muchas recetas
veganas para hornear y agregar un poco de nutrición adicional a las ensaladas,
avena, etc. Apuesto a que mi médico va a estar feliz de escuchar esto! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I also add 2 Tbsp of tapioca starch per cup to bread or cake mixes for baking.&quot;&gt;También
agrego 2 cucharadas de almidón de tapioca por cada taza de mezcla de pan o
pastel para hornear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Tapioca starch is a great binder, it&#39;s easy to use and it doesn&#39;t change the flavor of the food being cooked.&quot;&gt;Almidón
de tapioca es un polvo fantástico, es fácil de usar y no cambia el sabor de la
comida.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;As you can see it&#39;s possible to keep your cooking simple and real, by tweaking just a little bit the recipes, or by adjusting your eating habits and including more unprocessed foods.&quot;&gt;Como
pueden ver es posible mantener su cocina sencilla y real, con ajustar un poco
las recetas aquí y allá, o mediante el ajuste de sus hábitos alimenticios e
incluir más alimentos no elaborados.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;This coming week I&#39;ll be experimenting with some bread recipes and I&#39;ll let you know the results soon.&quot;&gt;Esta
semana que viene voy a estar experimentando con algunas recetas de pan y les
haré saber los resultados pronto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I hope you all are having a good evening, talk to you soon,&quot;&gt;Espero
que todos ustedes están teniendo una buena noche, hablaremos pronto,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today was grocery shopping day and I&#39;ve been working on the week&#39;s menu.&amp;nbsp; I decided to make one of my favorite traditional dishes from my native Colombia: &lt;a href=&quot;http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/p/recipes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ajiaco&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; At home we call it, &quot;The Soup Of Love,&quot;&amp;nbsp; I made it for my husband the first time I cooked for him and he loved it.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s a hearty potato, chicken, and sweet corn soup; garnished with sour cream, fresh cheese, avocado and capers.&amp;nbsp; I make the stock from scratch, with a chicken, onion, carrots, celery, cilantro, bay leafs, salt and pepper.&amp;nbsp; It gives it a more homey flavor that reminds me of my mom and her wonderful cooking.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ll publish the recipe separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
I want to talk about the challenge of cooking food that is gluten-free (GF), but &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; There&#39;s a lot of buzz about Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Every day I see more articles in newspapers, magazines, the web, books and TV.&amp;nbsp; Restaurants are offering GF menus.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s everywhere.&amp;nbsp; For the last few years, I&#39;ve noticed the increase in GF products.&amp;nbsp; From pretzels to pasta; a myriad of breads and cookies; even foods that are traditionally GF now carry the Gluten-Free label, like corn tortillas, corn chips and rice cakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;But what does it mean to consume GF foods that aim to replace wheat, rye and barley, without losing the quality and texture of those grains?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Are we falling for the same pitfalls as the Low-Carb Diet?&amp;nbsp; When, sugars were replaced with synthetic sweeteners that later turned out to be worse than the real thing. Or the Low-Fat diet, where saturated fats were replaced by hydrogenated vegetable oils.&amp;nbsp; Now we know how bad trans-fats are for human health. Most of the GF mixes available to make breads, cakes or cookies are based on potato starch, rice flour, or garbanzo bean flour.&amp;nbsp; I can recognize and pronounce all of these products so I feel OK eating them.&amp;nbsp; However, there are a couple of names associated with these mixes that I haven&#39;t seen before, unless they were in beauty products: &lt;b&gt;Xanthan gum&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Guar gum&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are these? and where they come from? &lt;b&gt;&lt;nobr&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;FAAdLink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum#&quot; id=&quot;FALINK_3_0_2&quot;&gt;Xanthan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/nobr&gt; gum&lt;/b&gt; is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide&quot; title=&quot;Polysaccharide&quot;&gt;polysaccharide&lt;/a&gt;, it is produced by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_%28biochemistry%29&quot; title=&quot;Fermentation (biochemistry)&quot;&gt;fermentation&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose&quot; title=&quot;Glucose&quot;&gt;corn&lt;/a&gt;, wheat, or milk whey by the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthomonas_campestris&quot; title=&quot;Xanthomonas campestris&quot;&gt;Xanthomonas campestris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterium&quot; title=&quot;Bacterium&quot;&gt;bacterium&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Guar gum&lt;/b&gt;, also called &lt;b&gt;guaran&lt;/b&gt; is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactomannan&quot; title=&quot;Galactomannan&quot;&gt;galactomannan&lt;/a&gt;. It is primarily the ground &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosperm&quot; title=&quot;Endosperm&quot;&gt;endosperm&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guar&quot; title=&quot;Guar&quot;&gt;guar beans&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; As you can see the first one is a highly processed ingredient, the second one comes all the way from India, and I don&#39;t feel comfortable using either one.&amp;nbsp; Fortunately, I&#39;ve researched more on the subject:&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve found that these ingredients can be replaced with flax seeds and chia seeds.&amp;nbsp; I already use these as egg replacement on many vegan baking recipes and to add some extra nutrition to salads, oats, etc.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ll bet my doctor is going to be happy to hear this!

This coming week I&#39;ll be experimenting with some &lt;a href=&quot;http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/p/banana-bread.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bread&lt;/a&gt; recipes and I&#39;ll let you know the results soon.&lt;br /&gt;

 tenía 13 años mi mamá (ella es una madre soltera) tenía una pequeña 
clase de cocina que enseñaba desde el comedor de la casa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Later she was catering dinner parties, soon after that she had a cafeteria, then a restaurant.&quot;&gt;Más tarde hacia banquetes para fiestas, después tenía una cafetería, y luego un restaurante de comida internacional. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I didn&#39;t want to go into the restaurant business, so I went to architectural school.&quot;&gt;Yo no quize entrar en el negocio de restaurantes, así que fui a la escuela de arquitectura. Pero aun asá &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I still couldn&#39;t escape the grip of food.&quot;&gt;no pude escapar de las garras de los alimentos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I was always helping her and learning how to cook and bake all sorts of foods.&quot;&gt;Yo siempre le ayudaba a mi mamá y asi aprendí a cocinar y hornear todo tipo de alimentos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;When I moved to Mexico (my father lives there) guess what?&quot;&gt;Cuando me mudé a México (mi padre vive allí) ¿adivinen qué? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;He also runs a little cooking school at his home!&quot;&gt;El también dirige una escuela de cocina pequeña en su casa! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I had the opportunity to savor Mexican cuisine.&quot;&gt;Tuve la oportunidad de saborear la cocina mexicana. Mmmm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Yum!&quot;&gt;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Off course I gained a few pounds while there.&quot;&gt;¡Por supuesto gané unos cuantos kilos, mientras viví allí. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Upon arriving to the US the adventure continued with the discovery of other ethnic cuisines from around the world like Asian, Ethiopian, Indian and Middle Eastern.&quot;&gt;Al
 llegar a los EE.UU. la aventura continuó con el descubrimiento de otras
 cocinas étnicas de todo el mundo, como Asia, India, Etiopía, y el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;es&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Upon arriving to the US the adventure continued with the discovery of other ethnic cuisines from around the world like Asian, Ethiopian, Indian and Middle Eastern.&quot;&gt;Medio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;es&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Upon arriving to the US the adventure continued with the discovery of other ethnic cuisines from around the world like Asian, Ethiopian, Indian and Middle Eastern.&quot;&gt; 
Oriente . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Off course I&#39;m aware these are American versions.&quot;&gt;¡Por supuesto soy consciente de que son la versión americana. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I still dream of going around the world trying the real thing in each country.&quot;&gt;Todavía sueño con viajar alrededor del mundo probando la comida de cada país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;At this point in time, I&#39;m just starting this journey on the web.&quot;&gt;Ahora, estoy empezando esta aventura en la web. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I want to share my experience about blogging and cooking sinfully delicious and nutritious gluten-free meals with three key concepts in mind.&quot;&gt;Quiero
 compartir mi experiencia sobre los blogs y pecaminosamente cocinar 
deliciosos y nutritivos platos sin gluten con tres conceptos clave en 
mente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;1.&quot;&gt;1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Budget friendly&quot;&gt;Presupuesto amigable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;2.&quot;&gt;2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Quick &amp;amp; Easy&quot;&gt;Rápido y Fácil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;3.&quot;&gt;3. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Natural&quot;&gt;Natural&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I&#39;m sure this will be a challenge, as most of the gluten free products that I find in the stores are pricey, but I want to focus on other alternatives to wheat, rye and barley.&quot;&gt;Estoy
 segura que esto será un desafío, ya que la mayoría de los productos sin
 gluten que encuentro en las tiendas son caros, pero yo quiero centrarme
 en otras alternativas al trigo, el centeno y la cebada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;In many traditional diets these grains aren&#39;t part of them, yet people live well.&quot;&gt;En muchas de las dietas tradicionales estos granos estan ausentes, sin embargo, la gente vive bien. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;There isn&#39;t a perfect diet, but humans have adapted to a wide range of food sources, and that&#39;s what I&#39;m attempting to explore and share with you.&quot;&gt;No
 hay una dieta perfecta, pero los seres humanos se nos hemos adaptado a una 
amplia gama de fuentes de alimentos, y eso es lo que estoy tratando de 
explorar y compartir con todos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;My efforts won&#39;t be limited to gluten-free recipes, but rather include a whole new concept about food, or should I say old concept, since in the time of our grandparents food was seen as food, and not as nutrients, like we&quot;&gt;Mis
 esfuerzos no se limitarán a recetas sin gluten, sino que incluirán todo un
 nuevo concepto acerca de la comida, o mejor dicho, un concepto viejo,
 ya que en la época de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;es&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;My efforts won&#39;t be limited to gluten-free recipes, but rather include a whole new concept about food, or should I say old concept, since in the time of our grandparents food was seen as food, and not as nutrients, like we&quot;&gt;los abuelos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;es&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;My efforts won&#39;t be limited to gluten-free recipes, but rather include a whole new concept about food, or should I say old concept, since in the time of our grandparents food was seen as food, and not as nutrients, like we&quot;&gt;la comida fue vista como&amp;nbsp; comida,
 y no como los nutrientes, como lo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;do nowadays.&quot;&gt;hacemos hoy en día. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Michael Pollan gives an excellent report about this in his book &amp;quot;In Defense Of Food: An Eater&#39;s Manifesto&amp;quot;.&quot;&gt;Michael Pollan da un excelente informe sobre este tema en su libro &quot;En defensa de la comida: Un Manifiesto del Comensal&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;The reason I&#39;m doing this is because I&#39;ve had some health issues in the past few years and it seemed they are mostly related to what I ate.&quot;&gt;La
 razón por la que estoy haciendo esto es porque he tenido algunos 
problemas de salud en los últimos años y parece que son en su mayoría 
relacionadas con lo que comía. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;In the beginning I was clueless as of what was causing me to feel sick.&quot;&gt;Al principio yo no tenía ni idea de lo que me estaba haciendo sientir mal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Little by little I realized that it was my diet, especially foods containing gluten.&quot;&gt;Poco a poco me di cuenta de que era mi dieta, especialmente los alimentos que contienen gluten. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Every time I ate pasta, pizza, sandwiches or burgers, or anything else with gluten, I&#39;d end up bloated, nauseated, in pain and without energy.&quot;&gt;Cada
 vez que comia pasta, pizza, sándwiches o hamburguesas, o cualquier otra
 cosa con gluten, se me inflamaba el estómago, sentía náuseas, dolor y 
quedaba sin energía. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;A few times I ended up in the ER, and the doctors couldn&#39;t find out anything wrong with me.&quot;&gt;En más de una ocacion acabé en la sala de emergencia, y los médicos no pudieron encontrar nada malo en mí. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Now the question is; If my diet was making me sick, what should I eat?&quot;&gt;Ahora la pregunta es, si mi dieta me estaba haciendo mal, ¿qué debo comer? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Wheat flour is in everything and everywhere, right?&quot;&gt;La harina de trigo está en todo y en todas partes, ¿verdad? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;For me eating gluten is a sin and I pay dearly for it, as it makes me feel like I&#39;m in Hell.&quot;&gt;Para
 mí, comer gluten es un pecado y tengo que pagar un alto precio por 
ello, ya que me hace sentir como si estuviera en el infierno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I&#39;ve known for a long time that sugars, saturated fats and processed carbohydrates are bad, and I remember as a child my grandma and mom stressing the importance of eating fresh vegetables and fruits.&quot;&gt;He
sabido desde hace mucho tiempo que los azúcares, las grasas saturadas
 y carbohidratos procesados ​​son malos, y recuerdo que cuando era niña 
mi abuela y mi mamá haciendo hincapié en la importancia de comer 
verduras y frutas frescas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;We&#39;d also have fresh fruit juices with our meals and a little dessert at the end.&quot;&gt;También tomábamos jugos de frutas frescas con las comidas y un pequeño postre al final.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Now as a mother of two, sometimes I feel confused as what is the right diet for my children?&quot;&gt;Ahora, como madre de dos hijos, a veces me siento confundida como lo es la dieta adecuada para mis hijos? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Should I feed them whole milk or low fat; juice or water; fresh fruit or fruity snacks they find at the store?&quot;&gt;¿Debo alimentarles con leche entera o baja en grasa, jugo o agua, fruta fresca
 o bocadillos de fruta que encuentran en la tienda? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;How can I prevent them from falling into the pitfalls of the public schools lunch?&quot;&gt;¿Cómo puedo evitar que caigan en las trampas de la comida de las escuelas públicas? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;How can I teach them to make the right choices in a world that is full of contradictions and way too many choices?&quot;&gt;¿Cómo puedo enseñarle a tomar las decisiones correctas en un mundo que está lleno de contradicciones y demasiadas opciones? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;These are just a few of the questions I face everyday.&quot;&gt;Estas son sólo algunas de las preguntas que enfrento todos los días. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;While talking with some of my friends, I can tell they face them too.&quot;&gt;Al hablar con algunos de mis amigos, puedo decir que ellos tambien tienen que hacerle frente a estas interrogantes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;We are all in this dilemma together.&quot;&gt;Todos estamos en este dilema juntos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;So how come that we still struggle so much to find an answer?&quot;&gt;Así que ¿cómo es posibe que todavía no encontremos una respuesta?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Who is in charge of our nutrition?&quot;&gt;¿Quién está a cargo de nuestra nutrición? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;The government with it&#39;s food label regulations?&quot;&gt;El gobierno con sus regulaciones para las etiquetas de alimentos empacados? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;The World Health Organization with their nutrition guidelines?&quot;&gt;La Organización Mundial de la Salud con las sus directrices en nutrición? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;The experts and doctors of nutrition?&quot;&gt;Los nutricionista y los médicos? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Or us, with what we put in our mouths?&quot;&gt;O nosotros, con lo que ponemos en nuestras bocas? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;I think the power should shift back to us and our common sense.&quot;&gt;Creo que el poder debe recaer nuevamente en nosotros y nuestro sentido común. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;We should go back to our roots, whatever those roots might be.&quot;&gt;Debemos volver a nuestras raíces. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Cooking from scratch gets rid of unnecessary preservatives and ingredients that we can&#39;t even pronounce, but is also a challenge for busy people that need to work and attend all kinds of different activities during the day.&quot;&gt;Cocinar
 desde&amp;nbsp; la base se deshace de conservantes innecesarios e 
ingredientes que ni siquiera podemos pronunciar, pero es también un 
desafío para las personas ocupadas que necesitan trabajar y asistir
 a todo tipo de actividades diferentes durante el día. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Where do we turn to, so we can keep up, and stay healthy?&quot;&gt;¿A dónde debemos acudir, para poder mantener el ritmo, y mantenernos saludables? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Fortunately in our present world there&#39;s a Renaissance of the natural (meaning non-processed or engineered) food, and more and more restaurants offering made from scratch, organic, local, fresh and natural foods are popping everywhere.&quot;&gt;Afortunadamente,
 en nuestro mundo actual hay un renacimiento de los alimentos naturales (es decir, no
 procesados), y cada día hay más y más restaurantes que 
ofrecen comida preparada en sus cocinas. Los alimentos orgánicos, locales, frescos y 
naturales están surgiendo en todas partes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Still learning how to make some healthy meals can&#39;t hurt, and that&#39;s why I want to contribute my two cents to the community by sharing my experience in this blog.&quot;&gt;Sin
 embargo aprender a hacer algunas comidas saludables no está de más, y por eso quiero contribuir mi granito de arena a la comunidad al 
compartir mi experiencia en este blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;The answer to the question, what should I eat, might not come overnight, if ever, but I&#39;d love to hear any input, and would love to learn about your own experience.&quot;&gt;La
 respuesta a la pregunta, ¿Cuál es la dieta perfecta? no llegará de la noche a la mañana, si es que llega algún día, pero me encantaría escuchar cualquier opinión, y 
me encantaría aprender sobre su propia experiencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;You can also find some of my recipes in www.allrecipes.com&quot;&gt;También puede encontrar algunas de mis recetas en www.allrecipes.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Talk to you soon, and have a great day!&quot;&gt;Hasta pronto, y tenga un buen día!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;Fondly, Maria&quot;&gt;Cariñosamente, María&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/feeds/2449080122941550379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/2012/02/es-pecado-comer-gluten.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7408306130974856140/posts/default/2449080122941550379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7408306130974856140/posts/default/2449080122941550379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singlutenfree.blogspot.com/2012/02/es-pecado-comer-gluten.html' title='Es pecado comer gluten?'/><author><name>SinGlutenFree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12653601966212244642</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQAv-Kl-XWjD1_b_FtMrrMy4iChgcvvBzvbHNXH_Sg0VZf94FNjI280HHnnq_u3OroLEY4HjRC45ImjeuPWG1hNrCY9HU7J1jNTNQ52z02_yOLwRVoIHBNa0jaBcLsg/s220/MariaJ.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408306130974856140.post-1232415777414738684</id><published>2012-01-25T11:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-12T16:53:45.566-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="celiac disease"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="diet"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="gluten"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nutrition"/><title type='text'>Is eating gluten a sin?</title><content type='html'>Hi there:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is Maria, simply Maria, and I&#39;m from Bogota, Colombia. I&#39;ve lived in Mexico City for more than 1 1/2 years, then moved to the US 10 1/2 years ago.&amp;nbsp; Now I live in Boulder, CO with my husband and 2 kids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cooking has been a big part of my life since my grandma, aunt, mom and dad are all great cooks.&amp;nbsp; When I was 13 my mom (she&#39;s a single mom) had a small cooking class that she taught from our dining room at home.&amp;nbsp; Later she was catering dinner parties, soon after that she had a cafeteria, then a restaurant.&amp;nbsp; I didn&#39;t want to go into the restaurant business, so I went to architectural school.&amp;nbsp; I still couldn&#39;t escape the grip of food.&amp;nbsp; I was always helping her and learning how to cook and bake all sorts of foods.&amp;nbsp; When I moved to Mexico (my father lives there) guess what?&amp;nbsp; He also runs a little cooking school at his home!&amp;nbsp; I had the opportunity to savor Mexican cuisine.&amp;nbsp; Yum! Off course I gained a few pounds while there.&amp;nbsp; Upon arriving to the US the adventure continued with the discovery of other ethnic cuisines from around the world like Asian, Ethiopian, Indian and Middle Eastern. Off course I&#39;m aware these are American versions.&amp;nbsp; I still dream of going around the world trying the real thing in each country. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point in time, I&#39;m just starting this journey on the web.&amp;nbsp; I want to share my experience about blogging and cooking sinfully delicious and nutritious gluten-free meals with three key concepts in mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Budget friendly&lt;br /&gt;
2. Quick &amp;amp; Easy&lt;br /&gt;
3. Natural&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m sure this will be a challenge, as most of the gluten free products that I find in the stores are pricey, but I want to focus on other alternatives to wheat, rye and barley.&amp;nbsp; In many traditional diets these grains aren&#39;t part of them, yet people live well.&amp;nbsp; There isn&#39;t a perfect diet, but humans have adapted to a wide range of food sources, and that&#39;s what I&#39;m attempting to explore and share with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My efforts won&#39;t be limited to gluten-free recipes, but rather include a whole new concept about food, or should I say old concept, since in the time of our grandparents food was seen as food, and not as nutrients, like we do nowadays.&amp;nbsp; Michael Pollan gives an excellent report about this in his book &quot;In Defense Of Food: An Eater&#39;s Manifesto&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason I&#39;m doing this is because I&#39;ve had some health issues in the past few years and it seemed they are mostly related to what I ate.&amp;nbsp; In the beginning I was clueless as of what was causing me to feel sick. Little by little I realized that it was my diet, especially foods containing gluten.&amp;nbsp; Every time I ate pasta, pizza, sandwiches or burgers, or anything else with gluten, I&#39;d end up bloated, nauseated, in pain and without energy.&amp;nbsp; A few times I ended up in the ER, and the doctors couldn&#39;t find out anything wrong with me.&amp;nbsp; Now the question is; If my diet was making me sick, what should I eat?&amp;nbsp; Wheat flour is in everything and everywhere, right?&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;For me eating gluten is a sin and I pay dearly for it, as it makes me feel like I&#39;m in Hell.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve known for a long time that sugars, saturated fats and processed carbohydrates are bad, and I remember as a child my grandma and mom stressing the importance of eating fresh vegetables and fruits. We&#39;d also have fresh fruit juices with our meals and a little dessert at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now as a mother of two, sometimes I feel confused as what is the right diet for my children?&amp;nbsp; Should I feed them whole milk or low fat; juice or water; fresh fruit or fruity snacks they find at the store?&amp;nbsp; How can I prevent them from falling into the pitfalls of the public schools lunch?&amp;nbsp; How can I teach them to make the right choices in a world that is full of contradictions and way too many choices?&amp;nbsp; These are just a few of the questions I face everyday.&amp;nbsp; While talking with some of my friends, I can tell they face them too.&amp;nbsp; We are all in this dilemma together.&amp;nbsp; So how come that we still struggle so much to find an answer? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who is in charge of our nutrition?&amp;nbsp; The government with it&#39;s food label regulations?&amp;nbsp; The World Health Organization with their nutrition guidelines?&amp;nbsp; The experts and doctors of nutrition?&amp;nbsp; Or us, with what we put in our mouths?&amp;nbsp; I think the power should shift back to us and our common sense.&amp;nbsp; We should go back to our roots, whatever those roots might be.&amp;nbsp; Cooking from scratch gets rid of unnecessary preservatives and ingredients that we can&#39;t even pronounce, but is also a challenge for busy people that need to work and attend all kinds of different activities during the day.&amp;nbsp; Where do we turn to, so we can keep up, and stay healthy?&amp;nbsp; Fortunately in our present world there&#39;s a Renaissance of the natural (meaning non-processed or engineered) food, and more and more restaurants offering made from scratch, organic, local, fresh and natural foods are popping everywhere.&amp;nbsp; Still learning how to make some healthy meals can&#39;t hurt, and that&#39;s why I want to contribute my two cents to the community by sharing my experience in this blog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer to the question, what should I eat, might not come overnight, if ever, but I&#39;d love to hear any input, and would love to learn about your own experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can also find some of my recipes in www.allrecipes.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talk to you soon, and have a great day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fondly, Maria&lt;br /&gt;
