From reunions with extended family to

Easter celebrations, spring offers a fruitfulmoment for families to share the past andmake way for the future. So whether it’s anintimate dinner or an extended extravagan-za, spring offers a wealth of resources tocreate an unforgettable get-together.

“The best tip for entertaining in the springis to take advantage of ‘in season’ produceand craft your menu around what is freshand local,” said Stephanie Gallo, a thirdgeneration Gallo family member.

With many vegetables hitting the peak offlavor in spring, there’s no better time to trynew recipes and bring new traditions toyour family table. And don’t forget that per-fect wine pairing; another detail the Gallofamily knows a thing or two about.

“Sauvignon Blanc’s citrus flavors are anice complement to spring time producesuch as asparagus and artichokes,” saidGallo.

Heat a pot large enough to accommodate all of the ingredi-ents on medium high and add the olive oil and onions, sautéuntil translucent and add garlic.

Mushrooms: A superfood for any season mericans looking for powerfulsuperfoods to add to their Springplates should look no further than themighty mushroom. A growing bodyof research is showing that mush-

rooms really are nature’s hidden treasure – packedwith the antioxidants and essential nutrients linked togood health.

“The research adds up and mushrooms – which arelow in calories but contain many nutrients – arenature’s secret superfood,” says Bart Minor, presidentof the Mushroom Council. “Although it’s critical tocontinue research on how eating mushrooms benefitsour health, the preliminary research is encouragingand it’s time this secret got out.” Antioxidants and Immunity

While the science on mushrooms and immunitycontinues to evolve, mushrooms offer a variety ofnutrients associated with immunity such as vitamin Dand antioxidants like selenium and ergotheioneine.

Selenium protects body cells from damage thatmight lead to heart disease, some cancers and otherdiseases of aging. Mushrooms are among the richestsources of selenium in the produce aisle, an importantnote for vegetarians, whose sources of selenium arelimited. Ergothioneine, a naturally occurring antioxi-dant, also may help protect the body’s cells.

Recently, researchers from Arizona StateUniversity (ASU) found that mice that eat white but-ton mushrooms may record an added benefit due topotentially enhancing or boosting immune functionand preventing weight loss when exposed to disease-

causing irritants. The Vitamin D Download

Mushrooms are the only fruit or vegetable with nat-ural vitamin D. Similar to the way that humansabsorb sunlight and convert it to vitamin D, mush-rooms contain a plant sterol—ergosterol—that con-verts to vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. The topthree selling mushroom varieties (button, crimini andportabella) have vitamin D ranging from 1 to 97 per-cent of the Daily Value (400 IU) per raw 84 gramserving.

Interest in vitamin D, also called the “sunshine vita-min” has exploded in the past year, making D thenew hot nutrient among consumers and health pro-fessionals alike.

• This year, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) con-vened a committee on calcium and vitamin D todetermine if the current intake recommendationsshould be increased for all Americans. The report isexpected in 2010.

• The American Academy of Pediatrics doubled theamount of vitamin D it recommends for children andinfants.

• An emerging body of science, including laborato-ry, animal and epidemiological studies, suggests thathigher intakes of vitamin D may be protective againstsome cancers, including pancreatic, breast, colon andcolorectal cancers.

• Scientists are also exploring links between lowvitamin D status and increased risk for a number ofchronic diseases, including heart disease, type 1 dia-betes, and multiple sclerosis.

Cancer and NutritionCity of Hope, a leading research institution for can-

cer, diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, hasthree research teams dedicated to investigating theeffects that mushrooms have on health and, specifi-cally, on breast and prostate cancers. Scientists at Cityof Hope were some of the first to find a potential linkbetween mushrooms and a decreased likelihood oftumor growth and development in cells and animals.

These scientists now plan to apply this research tohuman clinical trials to establish whether mushroomsact as aromatase inhibitors in women. It is far tooearly to conclusively say whether or not humans willexperience decreased tumor growth as a result of eat-ing mushrooms.

However, City of Hope and the Mushroom Councilone day hope to be able to share credible science-based information that ties mushroom intake withdecreased cancer risk, along with other importanthealth benefits.Nutrient-Rich Mushrooms

In addition to vitamin D and antioxidants, mush-rooms provide other nutrients, including B vitamins:riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid (B5), whichhelp produce hormones and play an important role inthe nervous system.

Copper and potassium are two other minerals inmushrooms. Copper helps make red blood cells andhelps keep bones and nerves healthy, while potassi-um aids in the maintenance of normal fluid and min-eral balance, which helps control blood pressure.

Emerging research indicates nutrient-rich mushrooms enhance immune function
