ABC News: FDA: Whole Grains Must Be Better Labeled

ABC News: FDA: Whole Grains Must Be Better Labeled: "he U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced this week that anything labeled as containing whole grains must contain a comparable amount of the fibrous, protein-dense and nutrient-rich portions of grains — the endosperm, germ and bran — in the same proportion normally present in the intact grain."

Temple Oranges

I have been so busy with the Hurricane relief trip that I forgot to mention, that it's Temple Orange Season. In my opinion there is no better juice orange. The season does not last long, so be sure to pick some up soon! You probably do not want to count on teh Temple as an eating oarnage as it is full of seeds.

Having a slightly longer season than the Temple Orange (especially across the various types of fruit) is the Tangelo. Tangelo's are largely seedless and nice and sweet. They too make a good juice (but not as good as the Temple ;) )

It has been a big week for new items as several new products hit the our shelves.

The top five:

1. Kellogg's Strawberry Frosted-Mini Wheats are very good! I especially like them dry.
2. Clorox Anywhere--a cleaner that is claimed ot be safe enough to use around food or pets
3. Propel Water--new flavors (Mixed Berry and Mandarin Orange) and now with added calcium
4. Poland Spring Spring water with flouride
5. Welch's Lite Grape Juice--half the calories of normal grape juice. I can't wait to try it!
