It’s true that Farmed salmon are on the “avoid” list, but many other farmed fish are on the “best Choices” list. Note that only Alaskan Wild salmon makes the “best choices” list.
Nothing’s actually “wrong” with it. It’s just that the vast majority of what we call “cinnamon” isn’t actually cinnamon proper, it’s cassia. Ceylon cinnamon is true cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum. They have very different flavors, and there’s nothing wrong with cassia, but it’s not the historically “real” stuff. It’s kind of like selling wagyu beef as Kobe - not quite the same breed, not raised the same way, but you (historically) jack the price up and hope people don’t notice.
There’s a little market on Mondays that’s so close I can see it from my kitchen windows. I am very excited that this summer my favorite family farm for meat will be there every week. They are also carrying ice cream from a local maker - made with real cream, and a coating on your spoon to prove it. I get my eggs from them, too. The Loyola students have a booth of their own with bakery items made that day and lots of greens from their farm in Woodstock. It’s a tiny market but I love it!
The only “real” maple syrup I’ve seen in conventional groceries comes in 12 ounces or smaller bottles or even small screw-top tins. The only places I’ve seen it in larger bottles has been at Whole Foods or the little organic market around the corner from me. I buy those. They’re 32 ounces and run me $20-$25, and I get the Grade B stuff. So good!
Do you mean like the outward coloration of Sockeye/kokanee? Spawning affects the skin color. Here, we’re talking about the color of the flesh that is affected by diet, not spawning. I don’t know why the color of the flesh might or might not change, but they usually spawn in fresh water, and thus may have different diets.
According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the go-to source for this stuff, the pecking order goes:
Alaska wild > Continental West Coast wild > Farmed and Atlantic wild
They take both environmental friendliness and sustainability/population size/how fast they breed into account.
You mean lean finely textured beef(LFTB). They never should have gone with the Big Lots off brand name.
Half the bottled lemonades on the market should change their name to “lemonade flavored”, or, “loosely based on lemonade”. Some Minute Maid lemonades don’t even include lemon juice in the list of ingredients. Restaurants that have lemonade on the menu should specify whether this is “the real stuff” or yellow vaguely citrusly flavored liquid.
One of the cultivars was called cantaloupe, available in Europe. Then, vendors started calling every orange fleshed muskmelon a cantaloupe, instead of giving it its own name. Honeydews are muskmelons too. How would you feel if they started calling a new kind of muskmelon “honeydew” even though it’s not really the honeydew you know and love? It’s just sort of similar to a honeydew, so they’ll bank on that marketable name.
I recall from years back (no cite but my own failing memory) that the artificial lemonade flavored drink mixes that came out in the '80s (such as Country Time)were based on an insecticide which didn’t pass testing. It didn’t kill enough bugs, but tasted lemon-y and was cheap and non-caloric.
Oh yeah?! Well, I just mushed up some raspberries and pressed them with a paper towel and my paper towel is totally red now! They’re dieing (sic) the berries on my bushes!!!
