[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! Linus totally had the right idea about loving pumpkins…even though he thought the “Great Pumpkin” was going to give him gifts and candy, Linus was right in this sense: He knew that pumpkins were great! He didn’t know why…but I didn’t either until I started eating more pumpkin and doing my research on this large and beautiful squash.

That’s why today we are talking about “Pumpkins” and why, especially during this time of year, you should have a couple of pumpkins in your vegetarian kitchen.

Hey, I am EJ and thank you for tuning in for another edition of “Vegetarian Kitchen” where we explore the vegetarian and vegan resources that are available to help make vegetarian living easy breezy. From food ingredients, to appliances, to cooking tools, you will get the low-down on the essentials you should have stocked and ready to go in your “Vegetarian Kitchen.”

It’s 5:00 in the morning and you hear the slamming of cabinets and the clanking of pots, pans, and lids. You hear your mom say “Now where is that garlic powder, I know I just bought some from the store.” Next is the sound of water filling a large pot. Then you smell it! The beautiful sweet aroma of nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon and a hint of vanilla.

And you know what time it is. You’ve been woken up many times, on Thanksgiving morning by that same smell and it never gets old. Momma has baked her homemade, love filled pumpkin pie. And now you fall back to sleep, dreaming of how you will get the first slice of that pumpkin pie.

While pumpkins are great to enjoy all year round, the holiday season tends to be the peak time where everyone goes PUMPKIN CRAZY so here’s why you want to make sure you eat some pumpkin this holiday season:

A pumpkin a day helps with the vitamin A. Eating a pumpkin a day is a bit much, BUT this winter squash is a great source of beta carotene and Vitamin A which maintains healthy skin, teeth, and good vision. 100g of pumpkin can provide more than half of your daily value of this important vitamin

Your furry friends will not only love pumpkin but they will love you for giving it to them. Especially if your cat or dog is suffering from digestive issues or hairballs.

It is so versatile. Not only can you eat the pulp of the pumpkin, but you can roast the seeds and consume the oil from roasting the seeds. Talk about stretching your dollar!

Pumpkins can be enjoyed without the crust and whipped cream. Don’t believe me? Try these different ways to begin loving pumpkin all year:

In a muffin! For years blueberries and banana walnut have dominated the muffin game. Pureed pumpkin is a great addition to any muffin recipe. Just replace one cup of flour with a cup of puree pumpkin.

Don’t toss the seeds! Make homemade flavored pumpkin seeds with the kiddos. After carving the pumpkin, save the seeds, rinse them off, throw them in a bowl and toss in some of your favorite seasoning and drizzle with oil. Next put them on a baking sheet and place them in a 425 degree oven and bake for a few minutes.

For breakfast – Yes. How do pumpkin pancakes sound? Delicious! Here is a quick pumpkin pancake recipe. Make sure you visit Vegtabowlfoods.com for the full recipe.

Ingredients:

¾ cup of pureed pumpkin
¾ cup of flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsp. canola oil
2 tbsp. arrowroot powder (optional)
2 cups of non-dairy milk

What to Do:

Get out your iron skillet and place a little oil in the skillet
In a large bowl add the flour, brown sugar, salt baking soda and arrowroot powder and mix well. Make sure to work out any clumps.
Next add the canola oil and non dairy milk and mix well. Fold in the pureed pumpkin.

Next heat the iron skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour ¼ cup of pancake batter in the hot skillet. Cook the pancake on one side for 2 minutes or until brown then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until brown.

Continue until you have cooked all of the pancake batter. Enjoy your pancakes with your favorite syrup and fruit.

You will never look at or eat pumpkin ever the same again. During this holiday season, get creative with your fresh and canned pumpkin.
