Beets
I've always wondered what the poor misunderstood beet did to deserve such a bad reputation. I say, if you took the time to get to know the beet, you'd find out that it's more than just another pretty vegetable. They're delicious, really, they are. And they're red. Who doesn't like red food?
Beets are one of the few sources of the pigment called betalain. Betalain is a powerful antioxidant that fights the damage caused by free radicals. Beets also contain potassium, vitamins A and C, magnesium, riboflavin, iron, copper, calcium and zinc. While beets…

Bourbon Peach Sauce (Pareve)
This sweetly spiced sauce is just right for salmon or chicken. Raspberries are often heavily infested with small mites and thrips. These insects can be nestled on the surface of the berry as well as inside the open cavity of the raspberry. Occasionally, small worms may be found in the cavity of the berry. Note that tiny, dark-colored, leaf-like or seed-like protrusions in the berry’s cavity may appear similar to insects, making the true insects difficult to discern. Currently, fresh raspberries and blackberries are not permitted in OU certified catering facilities and restaurants since they are nearly impossible to clean without ruining the fruit. Proper inspection of these berries requires exceptional patience. If berry inspection is undertaken, it should be done in a well-lit area. In a commercial facility, a light box should be used. Please read section below called "special instructions" for raspberry inspection.

Citrus Barbecue Sauce
A sweet tangy blending of citrus helps make any barbecue taste better. Fresh Cilantro, as well as basil, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing. Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water. Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the alternate procedure listed below in "Special Instructions".
