Beaneficial Recipes<\/a><\/h3>\n

Beans are a wonderful source of protein and we are just now starting to understand the health benefits or should we say beanefits in relation to chronic disease prevention. We have received a number of requests for bean recipes. The Crops For Health team is proud to release Beanefical Recipes<\/a>, a collection of over 50 bean recipes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Evolutionary Tree of Plant-based Foods (PDF)<\/a><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Plants that provide foods consumed by human beings arose at different times during evolution. This relational tree shows the relationships that exist among commonly eaten foods. Foods on the same branches of the tree share more similarities, genetically and chemically than foods that are further separated on the tree. The relationships shown are based on Linnean classification and were determined based on information available from the tree of life web project (http:\/\/tolweb.org\/tree\/<\/a>). Only angiosperms are shown (does not include gymnosperms, seedless vascular and seedless non-vascular with the exception of pinaceae).<\/p>\n

Variety and moderation are necessary for achieving an assorted diet – the foundation of a nutritious, well-balanced diet that may promote health and prevent disease. However, an evidence-based consensus does not exist regarding food combinations that reduce chronic disease risk. In an effort to better deal with this impasse, we recommend the guidelines promoting plant food-rich diets provide more detail about achieving variety and moderation. A rationale is presented for using botanical families as a tool to systematically increase the phytochemical variety of the diet. Acknowledging the rapidly changing cultural norms with respect to foods, including the impact of the global market place and advances in food science and technology, the method proposed here uses the botanical family concept to design patterns of food consumption that capitalize on the richness of potentially beneficial chemicals in widely available plant-based foods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”384″ css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_raw_js]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[\/vc_raw_js][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
