ORAC confirmed as reliable measure of antioxidant value

ORAC means "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity" which us what antioxidants can do best - namely to slow down or stop oxidation that causes inflammation of human tissue and damage to our cells. A high ORAC food helps slow down the aging process. In fact, the Brunswick Laboratories did a study with the following conclusion:

Conclusions:
The central message from this study is that natural products in a variety of standardized forms demonstrate significant efficacy against primary wellness factors. This is indicative of the multi-faceted anti-aging effects of natural products—in particular, those with a complex matrix of active constituents.

Another meaningful result of this study is the broad correlation between Total ORAC and cell-based outcomes. Although preliminary, these results support the view that Total ORAC is a useful tool for suggesting not only antioxidant, but also other important anti-aging outcomes.

This is why Silver Palate utilizes this measure to indicate antioxidant content of its Grain Berry Bran Flakes, Toasted Oats, Pancake & Waffle Mix, Muffin Mix and Crackers.

Silver Palate To Supply Food to Homeless Children in Florida.

In the March 6 "60-Minutes" program on CBS television, the show did a story on the great numbers of children in the Orlando area whose families have lost homes and were living in one-room motel locations. School buses stop there to pick up and drop off the kids from school and many of them do not have enough to eat and actually go to bed hungry. Silver Palate called down to Orlando and talked to the school system and learned that they did not need food for school lunches since that is supplied by various levels of government. However, they do not have enough food at dinner time and help is needed for that purpose. Thus, Silver Palate is arranging to make individual bowls of its Grain Berry Antioxidant Bran Flakes and crackers as well as its pasta sauce and pasta to supply for that purpose. Hopefully, as the economy improves, their parents will find employment and get back into regular homes again. Let us all be conscious of the situation of our neighbors. If not us...who?

Silver Palate Icons of Elegant Foods To Get New Attention

Many people do not know that the founders of The Silver Palate, Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins, authors of the world-famous Silver Palate Cookbooks and found in millions of homes after more than 25 years, also created icons of remarkable and delicious foods still on the market today. They include Silver Palate Mango Chutney, Sweet & Rough Mustard, Julee's Caesar Salad Splash, Balsamic Country Salad Splash, Apricot-Mustard Grilling  Sauce and other long-established condiments and foods. If you want to try one or more of them, check the Silver Palate website and order it from our famous Silver Palate online store. It's the one with a blue awning on the screen and it's open to serve you 24-hours a day.

Can a food become a new icon?

Our Silver Palate President, Peter Harris, enlisted his dad (Bob Harris) to help enrich the pantry of Silver Palate foods (Bob was the founder of Smart Balance). Since he joined his son, Peter in this quest, several new items were added and our loyal customers should know about them. They include Grain Berry Antioxidant Ready-To-Eat Bran Flakes, Toasted Oats (Regular, Apple Cinnamon, Honey Nut), Pancake & Waffle Mix; Muffin Mix and Snack Crackers; Low Sodium Marinara Sauce, Thick & Sassy Pasta Sauce, Tomato Romano (maybe the height of a taste sensation) and Spin Blend Whipped Salad Dressing. He likes to say this is not your grandmother's mayonnaise because its tangy flavor wakes up salads and sandwiches in a big way. If you want to try any of them, check your local store or order from our Silver Palate Online Store with the blue awning and the red geraniums on the screen. Open all day - every day - to serve you. All it needs to duplicate the original store is a checkered burgundy and white apron and its 1977 again.
