Cornmeal is a timeless staple rich in history, nutrition and flavor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cornmeal has been a kitchen staple for centuries, with roots stretching back to Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Long before grocery store shelves were filled with bags of cornmeal, Native Americans were grinding dried corn into a coarse meal that could be used to make breads, porridges and other hearty foods. European settlers learned about corn and its many uses from Indigenous communities, and corn soon became an important crop throughout North America. Over time, different cultures develo
Healthy cooking starts with herbs and spices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who says healthy food has to be boring? Herbs and spices are an effortless way to add big flavor without loading your food with extra salt, sugar or fat.

The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans put an even bigger spotlight on beans, peas, and lentils as nutritious plant-based protein foods. The guidelines encourage Americans to build meals around more whole, nutrient-dense foods and to choos
Why grapefruit deserves a place on your plate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grapefruit has been brightening breakfast tables for generations, but its own family history is surprisingly complicated. Unlike oranges or lemons, the grapefruitâs exact origin is still debated. Most historians believe it first appeared in the Caribbean during the 1700s as a natural cross between a pomelo and a sweet orange. One thing is certain, it was not named because it tastes like grapes. Instead, grapefruit grows in clusters on the tree, much like a bunch of grapes. The fruit made its w
