Next Ingredient – Details, episodes & analysis

Salt is quite a ubiquitous ingredient and for good reason - it's essential for human diets.

He shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of operations happening underground in their mine which includes a twenty mile network of tunnels within an ancient Salt deposit.

Learn the secrets of tomatoes and how they grow with Katie Battazzo. This kitchen-garden extraordinaire converts unused outdoor spaces into gardens that can produce bountiful crops of groceries. She teaches us how to plant and care for these plump, blushing babes and how much joy a ripe tomato brings.  Follow her journey at www.yesfrontyardfresh.com, or on IG @frontyardfresh. Stats referenced from Tomatoland by Barry Estabrook. Meredith’s question about fish genes in tomatoes is answered here: https://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/adding-a-fish-gene-into-tomatoes-zmaz00amzgoe/ Eggplant Caponata "Caponata has many forms and recipes. This one is from Joanie Cere, a woman of Italian descent, who used to help us sell at the farmers market. She would take all our market leftovers and return the next week with this deliciousness. Quantity can be adjusted depending on how many baking dishes you own and how much eggplant is starting to wither in your fridge. These amounts are approximate and fill a 13 x 9 x 2 Glad baking dish." Chop into 1 inch cubes: 2 medium Eggplant (peel skin off) 4-5 Peppers, stemmed and seeded 6-8 medium Tomatoes 1-2 medium Onions Also: 6-8 whole Garlic cloves One 8 oz jar Italian type Olives 1/2 - 1 cup fresh Basil One tbsp dried Oregano 1/4 cup Olive Oil (veggies should be coated) 1/2 tsp Sea Salt Throw everything in a baking dish and toss with ample olive oil, sprinkling with salt. Roast in the oven at 350 for two hours. Stir occasionally. Once all the moisture has evaporated, caponata will look and taste like the tapenade you love to buy at Trader Joe's for six dollars. It's a great way to use up a bunch of veggies at once. You can pack it in oil and store in the fridge for months. Check out the Next Ingredient website at www.nextingredientconsulting.com.

Faced with digestive troubles and doctors telling her she must get used to living with IBS, Neha Chandra returned to the foods she ate as a child and found that spices can be nature's medicine cabinet. She shares how beloved cumin has been throughout time, even being spread from culture to culture via the Silk Road. This was an ancient trade route between the east and west. Cumin has been used in place of money, for mummification (!!), for beauty treatments, and - well we're not going to put all of Neha's inside knowledge on here! Just press play!

One of Neha's go-to condiments: Yogurt, diced cucumber, a bit of salt and a teaspoon of ground cumin.

Entomophagy: the practice of eating insects. "Over two BILLION people regularly include insects in their diet, not as a last resort."

After Tansha shares how her journey around insects as a food source began, she briefly explains the cultural nuances around insect eating in India. She talks about how she learned to find and harvest various insects in her home city of Bangalore. We get to hear what creatures are in her fridge and how they are incorporated into all kinds of recipes, alongside her peers who are also interested in entomophagy (we added a few of those mentioned, but will add the rest ASAP!). 

Tansha is currently experimenting with an ant-based amino sauce and a mixed insect miso - both fermented with koji (a Japanese fermentation technique). Keep up with her journey on Instagram at @theboochieproject, and on her website at www.tanshavohra.com. As our favorite amatuer insect eater asks….What will our future taste like?

Devon Locke, a self-proclaimed ginger boy, is a big fan of this hunk of spice that adds the right kick to all sorts of culinary undertakings. Devon likes pumpkin spiced anything, DIY ginger beer (listen in on how he makes it!), and fermentation experimentation. He explains how in his work running a PET CT department (A.K.A. nuclear medicine technologist), he has found research showing that ginger’s high levels of antioxidants prevent free radicals from harming your cells; thus preventing cancer. He gives a fascinating rundown on how cancer grows and how it is detected by radioactive sugars highlighting the cancer on a PET scan. Learn where we source our ginger; traveling from very small farmsteads in the East to us.
