Q: I always seem to get sick when the seasons

Q: Have you heard of a new grain “Freekeh?” Stewart – Livepool, UK
AB: While freekeh may be
new to the North American diet, it is a traditional grain that has been used in
Arab and Egyptian cooking forever. Stewart,
Freekeh is green wheat that is picked when the wheat is still soft, stacked in
the sun to dry and then burnt to remove the chaff and straw. This gives the freekeh or “green bulgur” a
unique nutty flavour. From a nutritional
standpoint freekeh has good amounts of both fibre and protein.
Q: Every
time I hard boil eggs the yolk goes grey around the edges. What am I doing wrong?
A: The grey colour is commonly seen when you
over cook eggs. Although the eggs are
still safe to eat the discolouration can turn some people off. To cook the
perfect hard boiled eggs: Place eggs in a pot, covered with ½” of water, bring
to a boil and let boil for 1minute, remove from heat and let sit for 12
minutes, run under cold water and store!
Hard boil a dozen eggs at the beginning of the week and you have many
quick and nutritious snack options; slice into a salad or sandwich, make
devilled eggs or eat whole with a little salt and pepper.
