The BEET is a weekly blog from the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s website. Every other Tuesday, you will find an original article in one of these four categories:
Nutrition in the News posts aim to keep you up-to-date on emerging research that is reported in books and the news media. Nutrition news can be confusing and may even be based on unsound research. Registered Dietitians have the training and expertise to sift through the research and tell you the whole story, not just the bits and pieces reported as breakthrough or controversial news.
Guest Interviews feature experts from Santa Barbara and beyond who have a “Nutrition Voice” in our community. Once a month, we will interview restaurant chefs, farmers, nutrition professionals, and health and wellness innovators. We have a strong collaborative team of community members who care about the health of the entire community, and want to see you thrive through health and good nutrition.
Nutrition Myth Busters aim to combat nutrition myths that are forever encroaching on our way of life, but do they come from sound science? We all like to believe our families’ ancient health remedies, but is it fact or really just a myth?
Seasonal Recipes: We are excited to share with you seasonal directly from the Foodbank’s award-winning programs. These recipes utilize Santa Barbara’s and California’s bounty of fruits and vegetables. We are truly fortunate to live in a community where so much pride goes into the produce we grow. Let’s Eat!
