A prolific 'weed' that's edible, mild-tasting, and full of vitamins, 'they' tell us. I chopped some of this and added it to a green salad. It's a European native that arrived here long ago. Chickens love it, hence the popular name.
According to "Wildman" Steve Brill,
"Chickweed is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, B complex, C, and rutin (an accompanying flavonoid), as well as iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, sodium, copper, and silica."

Education session on Nutrition, nutritious food and snacks, preparation of healthy meals.
The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Project, funded by USAID and implemented by Mercy Corps to cover 12 districts in Khatlon. The project is emphasizing nutrition using the 1000 days approach and Essential Nutrition Actions framework. This will include promotion of improved infant and young child feeding practices (breastfeeding, adequate maternal nutrition, and increased access to essential micronutrients) promotion of dietary diversity for the whole family, (fruits and vegetables) and animal source foods. This component will include capacity-building.
The second technical component focuses on improved family planning services and promoting increased demand for those services
The third component of the project will promote improved hygiene and sanitation through Essential Hygiene Actions, including provision of some sanitation infrastructure. Infrastructure will target schools including girl-friendly models.
To achieve adoption of improved nutrition, hygiene and health practices by community members, Mercy Corps will work at the community-level: volunteer Community Health Educators and Village Health Committees and Child-to-Child activities in schools.
Space Food
Food for spaceflight must be nutritious, lightweight, and easily stored. As astronauts and cosmonauts spend increasing amounts of time in space, the food must also be appealing to encourage proper nutrition. Spacefarers must be able to consume the food with minimal risk of scattering crumbs and drops of liquid, which could damage delicate electronic equipment.
The first space food was often partially dehydrated or condensed, so an astronaut could consume it directly from a tube or can in bite-sized portions. During the Gemini and Apollo programs, NASA created rehydratable food sealed in plastic containers. Astronauts used a water dispenser to rehydrate the food before eating. Today, space food is packaged and treated for long shelf life. It is similar to food used by campers and mountain climbers.

I made spinach and turkey lasagna in my crock pot tonight. It turned out to be exactly what I had in mind, the best lasagna I have ever made!
To ensure pregnant and lactating women receive nutritious food items during pregnancy or post-partum, SMNF Nepal provided essential items such as rice, lentils, eggs, salt, and soap to 600 women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Growing their own healthy and nutritious food reduces the need for future external food assistance. Families who have access to land and are ready to farm can harvest in six to eight weeks,” said Tim Vaessen, FAO’s Emergency and Response Manager in Nigeria.

Common sow thistle is in the Compositae (Asteraceae) family. This is a nutritious plant that contains several minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and zinc) and vitamins ( A, B1, B2, B3, B6, & C). The leaves are also great to use as an antioxidant.
Earlier in the season this plant tastes nice. Leaves and flowers can be added to salads, cooked like spinach or used in soups, casseroles, etc.. The leaves contain vitamin C, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Cook stems like asparagus. They taste better if the outer skin is removed. Young roots can be cooked as well.
Diversifying farming to include more nutritious and resilient crops such as millet and sorghum and protein-rich, soil fertility boosting legumes like chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnuts, can buffer communities against drought and malnutrition. Its key to increase demand via education, policy and access to ensure more communities grow and eat these foods.

Beans are cheap, nutritious, tasty and versatile. I always have canned beans on hand but dry beans are much less expensive, and you can find a wider variety of heirloom beans in dry form.
Anasazi beans, also called New Mexico Cave Beans, Appaloosa Beans or Jacobs Cattle Beans, are of clouded origin. One story is that archaeologists found a handful of beans at an 1,500 year old site site in a clay jar sealed with pine tar. Amazingly some of those beans germinated and you can eat them today. (Some people don't believe this story and think the beans have been in constant cultivation... you choose the story you want to believe :)
Anasazi beans are closely related to pinto beans and cook up just the same. I cooked mine in a crockpot in pork stock. I finished them off with a green chile sauce and some garlic powder. Bean soup is on the menu later this week.
Avocados are tasty and nutritious and very popular. This is despite 2 small avocados having a carbon footprint twice the size of a kilo of bananas. Our avocado obsession isn't very green after all.
Due to severe drought, diverse and nutritious food becomes scarce, therefore the WFP has been working to prepare for and address the current drought effects by supporting population to identify and reduce their vulnerabilities.

Frozen cranberries picked in the Fall. Making cranberry smoothies. Yum!
I used cranberries, Kefir, Greek yogurt, a splach of cranapple juice and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then I added some black berries to a different cup and some strawberries too. The cranberry alone is too tart....
Today pusley is treated as a weed, but it was once considered nutritious fare and a cousin to spinach, according to our Oxford English Dictionary. We keep it around as ground cover because it helps keep our sandy soil in place. And its leaves and flowers are rather tasty. After sampling the plant ourselves we've left it to nourish bees and other pollinators who visit our yard. And Sluggo here.
I think this is Leidyula floridana, the Florida Leatherleaf, one of three slug species native to the state (in addition to 11 species of slugs introduced from elsewhere). Slugs are in the Family Veronicellidae, Class Gastropoda. More slimy detail is in the large view (click the magnifying glass).
"Slugs have an important place in the ecosystem of the world," writes 15-year-old Shep, a winner in the American Museum of Natural History Young Naturalist Awards. His article, "The Slimy, Yet Special Slug," continues, "Most slugs are herbivores, eating fungi, lichens, green plants, shoots, roots, leaves, fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Slugs are also known for being scavengers; eating decaying vegetation, animal feces, and carrion....Slugs are also important to humans in lesser known ways. Currently the slug is being studied at the University of Washington. The biochemical properties and cellular mechanisms of the slug's mucus are under investigation. Researchers at the University believe that learning more about slug mucus could help in treating or curing human deficiencies involving mucus." Cystic fibrosis, for example.
"Slugs are hermaphroditic," adds the University of Florida, "but often the sperm and ova in the gonads mature at different times (leading to male and female phases). Slugs commonly cross fertilize and may have elaborate courtship dances."
And then some. Brooke L.W. Miller, a doctoral student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is writing her thesis (with photos and videos) on the torrid sexual practices of the banana slug.

as a wife and as a cook because I had a new easy and delicious way of preparing food…Little did I realize how much this cooking would entice my husband, Narayan, who began to join me in the kitchen to prepare the meals. We would heat the homemade ghee in the pan and add the fragrant spices together. He would cut up the vegetables and we would flirt with each other as the aroma of the food filled our senses. I began to learn what a romantic and bonding experience it was to take the time to be with each other while cooking healthy life-giving food.
Because I worked a lot of late nights at the time, Narayan would go and visit our friends who were also cooking from the book. He would be so happy to be eating this food that he even offered to wash the dishes afterwards and he made them swear never to tell me because then I would want him to do it at home. Years later, my friends would laugh and tell me stories like these.
Samahria is coming out with a second book very soon. Last week, she invited me to her house and she took pictures of our meal for Flickr. Find out what else we had to eat that day by dropping by her site. She is new to Flickr and would love to share her recipes and pictures with you. Also she would love to hear about your experiences with “Romancing the Stove”.
