5 watermelon recipes to try before the end of summer

What would warm weather be without big, sloppy slices of watermelon? Given that this summer essential is more than 90 percent water, it’d be easy to assume that it has little or no nutritional value. But the low-calorie fruit is filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that soothe sore muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and pack about one-third of the daily recommended vitamins A and C, and lycopene that can even combat cancer. August through October is watermelon harvest in most of the country, so there are usually lots of great, local picks at farmers markets and grocery stores this time of year. But how can you be sure you’re selecting the perfect melon? To avoid mushy melons, a good rule of thumb states that you should choose the one heaviest for its size. The melon should also have a deeply colored cream spot on the bottom — the color signifying the watermelon had plenty of time to…

National Doughnut Day More than Modern Marketing Ploy, Dates Back to WWI

It’s hard not to be jaded about national food holidays nowadays. With roughly 450 current food holidays announced, there’s one for every day of the year, and then some. Most of these days tend to be created by those who stand to directly financially benefit from the public awareness and media attention such a day can bring. For example, National Drive-Thru Day was the brainchild of the fast food chain Jack in the Box while National Peanut Butter Day was created by the National Peanut Board. New holidays are reviewed by a small committee, and the creator is charged up to $4,000. But if there is one that doesn’t deserve your cynicism, it’s National Doughnut Day, celebrated the first Friday of every June. The origins of National Doughnut Day date back much further than the modern food holidays, and it has a much deeper history, too. The day is as much about celebrating the people behind…

Ben & Jerry’s Shows Love for Bob Marley with “One Love”

As iconic as Bob Marley was in the world of music, he became even more of an inspiration for promoting peace and unity around the world — and next, apparently, ice cream. Ben & Jerry announced a new flavor called “One Love” that pays homage to the legendary performer’s vision for the world. The new pints are filled with banana ice cream, caramel and cookie swirls and chocolatey peace signs. A portion of the proceeds from each pint will be donated to Jamaica’s One Love Youth Camp, an organization run by The Bob Marley Foundation and Partners for Youth Empowerment. The ice cream company is no newcomer to promoting social causes. Other flavors with a cause include “Empower Mint” for democracy, “Phish Food” for clean waterways, and “One Sweet World” for more inclusive communities. “One Love” was released last year in the U.K. and was successful enough to get the green light to head to the U.S. in time for summer…
