Nutrition programs work better when they include #Indigenous food knowledge
Researchers found nutrition programs work better when they include Indigenous food knowledge, local languages, and traditional practices.
By Raquel Brandao, July 24, 2026
Excerpt: "Cameras, cooking and conversation
"Some things worked. #Storytelling, #workshops, and #CookingDemonstrations turned up again and again across the 39 studies, alongside #TalkingCircles, #ShortFilms and #SmartphoneApps.
"The common thread is direction. Each of these methods lets people speak in their own words rather than sit and receive instruction.
"In #NewZealand ( #Aotearoa ), researchers built a mobile health app together with #Māori and #Pasifika partners. The language, the stories, and the pictures all came from the communities the app was meant for.
"Speaking with Earth.com, Rao described a project she led. 'In my own work, and one of the papers reviewed, I have used cameras and #DigitalTools with young women and men in an Indigenous community in #India to document their traditional food knowledges by speaking to the elders, visiting the forests and local markets, talking to women engaged in #foraging and #FoodPreparation.'
"That project is one of the 39 studies in the review. An earlier paper followed ten Santhal young people in eastern India who were trained to make films.
"They made nearly 50 films and screened them in their own villages. Older relatives supplied much of what went into them.
Elders as teachers
"Who holds the knowledge matters as much as what the knowledge is. #Elders, #healers, #farmers, and #women each carry different parts of it.
"None of it arrives as a curriculum. It moves between generations through cooking, gathering and long conversation, which is exactly what a nutrition leaflet cannot carry.
" 'Reclaiming and recognising #IndigenousKnowledge , values and practices to address the different elements of nutrition and health involves recognising intergenerational and wider social relations, and engaging everyone from the elders, healers, educators and farmers to service providers, policymakers and academics, to together raise issues and find solutions,' said Rao.
"Traditional foods carry knowledge of the local landscape in a way nothing else does. The review treats them as practical resources rather than heritage."

Making meals without microplastics: Tips for safer cutting boards
Depending on the type of cutting board you use, your home-cooked meals could be contaminated with an unlikely ingredient – microplastics – according to a recent study.
For the research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Ecotoxicology and Public Health, scientists tested contamination by cutting carrots on two types of plastic cutting boards, one made with polypropylene and the other with polyethylene. Their goal was to estimate the total per-person annual exposure to microplastics from using the boards.
They measured as many as 1,114 microplastic particles – pieces of plastic less than five millimeters long – each time the board was used to cut carrots.
The researchers, led by scientists from the University of North Dakota, also found that cutting carrots on a plastic board can generate as much as 15 particles of microplastics per cut, or about 50 grams per year – roughly equivalent to the weight of ten plastic credit cards.
The amounts vary, depending on the cutting style of the cook, the sharpness of the knife and the type of food being cut. Scientists estimated that a cutting board sees about 500 chops a day, but this will vary with the meal being prepared. Cooking a meal can involve many different steps, and not every bit of microplastic that’s generated finds its way into the final product.
Potential health harms
Growing evidence suggests microplastics may be a public health concern. Microplastics have been found in human lungs, blood and even in the placenta.
A group of scientists in South Korea recently sounded the alarm about potential health harms after reviewing research on microplastics. Microplastic shapes can interfere with digestive and respiratory systems, and the chemical additives they release can disrupt the endocrine and reproductive systems.
Any plastic object can become a source of microplastics once it begins to degrade. A Pew Charitable Trust study pointed to tires as a major source of pollution, finding that 78 percent of microplastic particles in the ocean is from “tire dust.”
A particularly worrying source of particles are the caps of water bottles, since the particles drop directly into the drinking water inside the bottle.
Scientists are still learning about all the ways microplastics can affect human health. Most plastics don’t break down in the environment, but they do break apart – these small plastic particles can absorb chemical pollutants and microorganisms that could pose health risks for humans. Studies have shown animals exposed to microplastics may experience developmental delays, behavior changes, infertility and weakened immune systems.
Depending on where microplastics are found, they can also be contaminated with toxic chemical additives during manufacturing processes. If a chemical hitches a ride on microplastic particles and enters the body, it can leach into the body and be harmful.
Tips for avoiding microplastics
Microplastics are tough to avoid, because of all the ways we rely on plastic in our daily routines and the many potential sources of microplastics.
Some governments are taking steps to tackle microplastics. The European Union recently restricted intentionally added microplastics, banning them from most consumer products. The U.S. does not regulate microplastics but did ban microplastic beads from consumer products in 2015.
You can also avoid microplastics by using alternatives to plastic cutting boards – neither glass, marble, bamboo nor wood will cause a microplastic mess. Wooden cutting boards, which have natural antimicrobial properties, are typically the cheapest.
If you want to keep using your plastic cutting board pay attention to how you slice – the carrots study found that the style someone cuts affects the amount of plastic generated. And remember to wash the board after each use.
To limit your exposure to microplastics, it’s also a good idea to avoid using plastic utensils and kitchenware.
Besides switching to a non-plastic cutting board, you can:
Alternatives to plastic cutting boards
The healthiest alternatives to plastic cutting boards are solid wood (maple, walnut), bamboo, or stainless steel, which prevent microplastic ingestion and are generally antimicrobial. Hardwood is superior for knife maintenance, while stainless steel and food-grade silicone are excellent for high-hygiene tasks like raw meat. Environmental Working GroupTop Non-Toxic Cutting Board Alternatives:
Hardwood (Maple, Walnut, Cherry): These are the best for long-term health and durability. They are self-healing (scratches close) and possess natural antimicrobial properties. Bamboo: A sustainable, harder, and less porous option than wood. It is budget-friendly but can be harder on knives. Food-Grade Silicone: These are non-porous and easy to clean, often dishwasher safe. They are flexible, durable, and safer for raw meat, say Source: Gurl Gone Green. Stainless Steel: Extremely easy to sanitize, non-porous, and perfect for raw meat to prevent bacterial growth. Rubber (Synthetic Tree Sap): Often used by professional chefs, these are durable, gentle on knives, and dishwasher safe. Maison PurWhy Switch?
Plastic cutting boards release microplastics into food through deep scratches and scuffs. Hardwood, bamboo, and silicone eliminate this risk while offering a durable, safer alternative Environmental Working Group

[Video] How to Process #Acorns and make #AcornFlour | Preparing Acorns to Eat
In the Kitchen with Matt
"In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, I will show you how to process acorns and make acorn flour. You will learn how to prepare acorns to eat.
"Acorns are a very abundant food source but it seems few people know that they can be eaten. I have talked to several people who didn't even know you could eat them. Acorns have been eaten for thousands of years and are a good source of protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and other healthy minerals. However, you can't just eat them right off the tree, they need to be processed first. Acorns contain tannins in them which make them very bitter and potentially toxic to humans. The tannins need to first be leached out of the Acorns then they can be eaten, Red Oak Acorns contain the highest level of tannins.
"In this video, I will show you one method on how to process them but there are a few others. I will briefly talk about the boiling method as well. It can be tedious to process them but oh so satisfying. The acorn flour can be used in muffins, pancakes, bread, etc. It is very easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. Let's get started!
You will need:
- Acorns (White Oak, Live Oak, Red Oak, etc.)
- Water
- Large Bowls
- Nut cracker or meat tenderizer
- sheet pan (lined with a silicone mat, parchment paper, etc.)
- wooden spoon
- airtight container for storage (Tupperware, etc.)
- Patience. :) lol

Minced up #MuiChoy - #preserved #mustard fried up with garlic & #GroundPork. Savoury, classic cultural dish that is simple to make. It goes very well with congee or steamed rice.
Speaking in #Teochew with English #translations.
I'm saving the other large mui choy for a traditional braised pork dish.

Most people (I guess?): Finds a recipe, then follows the recipe.
Me: Finds a recipe, finds a couple more similar recipes, mentally compares the recipes, breaks down all the common elements (basically deconstructing the recipe), looks around to see what ingredients I have on hand, then re-constructs the recipe based on ingredients on hand (unless I happen to be going to the store), jots down rough notes, creates a new recipe (tweaking as needed).
Does anyone else do this? I know some folks who can just throw together ingredients (and I can do that too) -- but I prefer having a "formula" and notes so I can replicate it in the future (if it comes out well), or tweak as needed.

I try to eat seasonally, and I'm lucky enough to live close to a couple of very productive local farms (one of which has a winter farm store, with lots of root veggies). I also freeze meals to eat on days I don't feel like cooking. Just make sure you date them, and eat before they go bad... As a friend said the other day, "The freezer is NOT a time machine."
Quick, Healthy Meals Using Seasonal Produce
October 24, 2024, by Jilleon Farrell, Dietetic Intern, University of Maine, and Kate Yerxa, MS, RD, Extension Professor University of Maine Cooperative Extension
"October’s harvest is all about rich flavors and local ingredients, featuring an assortment of fruits, vegetables, and grains that all capture the essence of the season. Whether you’re a fan of stews, casseroles, or delicious desserts, fall provides a variety of seasonal produce to create satisfying and flavorful meals. In Maine, pumpkins, apples, squash, potatoes, beets, carrots, cabbage, parsnips, and turnips are all in season in the late fall.
"By using seasonal foods in your meals, you not only get to enjoy our local foods but also fresh ingredients. So head to your local farmers market, farm stand, or grocery store for seasonal produce to create some fun fall meals.
"Meals don’t need to take a long time to prepare or cost a lot of money. Focus on choosing recipes that are quick to prepare with both local and easily accessible ingredients. The goal is to make healthy eating easier for you and create a more enjoyable cooking experience.
"Why are quick and easy meals a great option?
- Saves Time: Quick meals reduce the time spent in the kitchen, making it easier to fit cooking into a busy schedule.
- Encourages Healthy Eating: Simpler meals often mean fewer processed ingredients, helping you maintain a balanced diet.
- Reduces Stress: Having easy recipes on hand can minimize the stress of meal planning and preparation.
- Improves Consistency: Quick and easy meals are more likely to become a regular part of your routine, supporting long-term healthy eating habits.
"Why is buying and eating local and in-season produce a great option?
- Freshness: Seasonal produce is often harvested at peak ripeness, which means better flavor and more nutrients for you.
- Affordability: Foods in season are usually less expensive, so you can enjoy a variety of fresh options without breaking the bank.
- Environmental Impact: Seasonal foods require less transportation, which means a smaller carbon footprint and less impact on the planet.
"A few of our favorite fall Mainely Dish recipes include Butternut Squash Bisque, Carrot Fries, Carrot Bread, Pumpkin Seeds, Roasted Root Vegetables, and Stuffed Squash. Make sure you visit the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Mainely Dish recipe page to find your favorite quick and healthy fall recipe."
