SELECTION:• Fresh cranberries are seasonal and peak during the fall from October through December but they can be found year

round as dried fruit, jams, juice, frozen, or canned for convenience during the holiday season.• When shopping for fresh cranberries, look for bright red colors with smooth, firm skins.• Avoid soft or discolored fresh cranberries to prevent the spread of spoilage.

FUN FACTS:• Native Americans used cranberries mixed with venison to create pemmican, the original meat jerky that is still popular

today.• Besides blueberries and the Concord grape, cranberries are the only native fruits in North America.• How many cranberries does it take to make one gallon of juice? Answer: 4,400!

STORAGE:

NUTRITION/HEALTH/WELLNESS:• One cup of cranberries contain only 46 calories.• Cranberries and their skins are an excellent source of antioxidants. Antioxidants found in

cranberries may assist with beneficial formation of good HDL cholesterols which may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

• Due to high amounts of vitamins C and K, cranberries may also assist with preventing cavities and plaque build-up around gums.

• Rinse fresh cranberries in a colander under a steady stream of water and remove any stems or soft or wrinkled berries.• Inspect the fruit for any brown or soft spots before freezing or refrigerating cranberries. Cranberries can be refrigerated

for up to two months or frozen for as long as one year. • After rinsing the cranberries, dry them well to remove moisture and store in the refrigerator or freezer in

an airtight container.

Thinking Outside the Box!

Pressure Cooker Pinto Bean ChileMacronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) are compounds that produce energy and are needed in large

quantities to survive. Carbohydrates are our main source of glucose which provides us with our main source of energy or “fuel”. They are our optimum food source and should comprise the most of our diet, preferably in the form of complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, vegetables and potatoes. Fat is the densest form of energy, providing 9 calories per gram, as compared to protein and carbs both at 4 calories per gram. Fat assists with transporting fat soluble vitamins, make hormones, and brain development.

Protein is the building block for muscles and cells by way of amino acids. It is also key in supporting the immune system, transporting nutrients, and is a core component of organs, bones, enzymes, and hair. For the general public, an average sized man or woman need approximately 0.4 - 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight to meet needs. Body builders and competitive athletes may need a little bit more at approximately 1.0 - 1.2 grams of body weight, depending on goals and degree of training.

Since childhood, most were taught, that fresh chicken, pork, meat, fish, eggs, and milk provide the protein to help us grow big and strong. Protein from animal sources, gram for gram, is the most expensive macronutrient. Increasing protein intake by way of just animal products also increases the consumption of fat and calories. Although animal proteins tend to be the densest, plant based products like grains, nuts, soy, and vegetables also provide some protein. To meet protein needs, it is best to do so from a variety of food sources.

Legumes provide an average 7 - 8 grams of protein per serving but also pack a punch when it comes to vitamins, minerals, and fiber. There are a variety to choose from, such as kidney, navy, black, garbanzo, pinto, etc., so the amount of interesting dishes in the diet, is endless. Adding them or increasing their amount to your diet is economical, since legumes are some of the least expensive sources of protein gram for gram. They are practically fat free and a great source of fiber, so they are also waist friendly. Aim to consume legumes at least 2 - 3 times a week.

This recipe is quick and easy, and provides some leftovers. It is hearty enough to be served in place of an animal protein at any meal. Use the technique in the recipe for a quick way to routinely add dried legumes in your weekly menu. Keep a few bags of different types in your pantry, along with some broth and stewed tomatoes and experiment with your family for great chilies and soups.
