Greetings!

We just got back from the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim.  It's the largest trade show for our industry on the west coast.  It gave us an opportunity to take some educational classes and to see the latest in new products and technology.  The show is huge, taking up most of two floors of the Anaheim Convention Center.  We saw a lot of new things and hope to add many new products in the coming months.  I've highlighted a couple of the products in this newsletter.  You can read about Kyolic's new ModuChol cholesterol lowering product and, in the freezer section, Putney Pasta's 3-cheese tortellini.  Yum.

ModuChol ModuChol
From the makers of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract this is a combination of odorless garlic and plant sterol esters. 

Foods containing at least .65g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day, for a total intake of 1.3g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. 

Plant sterol esters are clinically proven to help reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels, a major indicator for heart disease.  Phytosterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and may inhibit dietary cholesterol absorption by increasing excretion of cholesterol in the gut.
Putney Tortilinni Putney Three Cheese Tortellini

We eat a lot of pasta.  It's quick, easy to make, and even easier to dress it up.   

This tortellini is a mellow medley of Ricotta, imported Romano & imported Parmesan cheeses.

Recipe Suggestion:

Dice up some red and green bell peppers, mushroom, broccoli, olives and saute in butter, garlic powder and Spike seasoning.  After you cook and drain the pasta, pour your veggie mushroom mix over the pasta and serve with a little garlic bread.
