A natural alternative ype 2 diabetes is at an all-time high in children under 10-years-old. This troubling fact is one that Jill Stichler, owner of Redland Juice Company in Lexington, is trying to remedy.

Working with scientists at the Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center on the campus of Oklahoma State University, Stichler is in the beginning stages of creating an all-natural juice pop for kids.

“The idea of producing a natural juice pop stems from the fact that most schools are trying to get rid of high fructose corn syrup drinks,” Stichler said. “Our products would be perfect for Oklahoma schools because they are made from 100 percent juice, no added sugar and no added water.”

Oklahoma Farm to School Program coordinator Chris Kirby, whom Stichler originally met at the OSU–Oklahoma City farmer’s market, couldn’t agree more.

“The juice pops are a perfect fit for the farm to school program because they are locally grown and processed, are healthy and nutritious and taste really good,” Kirby said.

Kirby works with 62 schools districts in Oklahoma, all of which she will encourage to incorporate Stichler’s product.

“The juice pops are easy for the schools to serve and provide a nutritious snack that the students will like,” Kirby said.

Stichler’s 100-percent grape juice pop is made from an equal blend of locally grown Merlot and Concord grapes, and will be sold under the brand KJ Vineyards.

“We originally wanted to use a juice boxtype packaging,” Stichler said. “But after two years of searching for someone who could do that, we gave up on the idea.”

It was at the 2008 FAPC Media Day that Stichler’s partner Kathy Bates saw an acceptable alternative. It was in the form of another FAPC client’s product packaging: Hottie Pickles.

“Kathy saw the pickle packets and said

‘Wow! Our product would be great in a package like that!’” Stichler said. “And I said, ‘Of course! Great idea, Kathy!’”

Chuck Willoughby, FAPC business and marketing relations manager, researched possible packaging facilities, eventually putting Stichler in contact with Bob Benjamin of FasPac in Dallas.

“We really hoped we could find an Oklahoma company that could provide this type of packaging; after all, the FAPC is here to help grow Oklahoma’s food processing industry – to add value to Oklahoma,” Willoughby said. “We even examined filling pre-formed packages at FAPC, but it turned out the only feasible alternative was FasPac in Dallas.

“Having a healthful product like this available to our Oklahoma children means sometimes you have to go outside our state to make the reality happen,” Willoughby said.

After meeting with Willoughby and Stichler, The 100-percent grape juice pop, sold under the brand KJ Vineyards, is made from an equal blend of locally grown Merlot and Concord grapes.

Benjamin agreed to begin packaging the juice to make individual 2-ounce packets.

In the first run, however, the packages used proved to be too small, Stichler said.

“It’s my experience that every time you start a new venture, you run into bumps in the road,” Stichler said. “But we’ve always found ways to modify our practices so they’ll work; and in this case we just used a larger package.”

Once the juice was packaged, Stichler took it to the FAPC to be submerged in a hot water bath, a process that ensures shelf stability.

“It takes 35 to 40 hours to process 33,500 juice packets,” Stichler said. “This project has been very time consuming and a little expensive, but well worth it.”

In this first year of production, Redland Juice Company will test market 134 cases, or 33,500 packets, of the kid-friendly juice pop in Oklahoma schools.

Stichler said the 2-ounce juice pop provides one fruit serving of the recommended two to four per day.

“Our juices are good for kids,” Stichler said.

“It’s that simple.”

Redland Juice Company, which produced the first commercial Oklahoma grape juice made entirely from Oklahoma grapes, has been selling its juices to gift shops and gourmet food retailers, tourism shops, wineries, health food stores, farmers’ markets and grocery stores in Oklahoma and surrounding states since 2003.

“If this new venture works out, we might put the juice pops in retail outlets where they’ll be available to all consumers, not just school children,” Stichler said.

Cooking at home?

Don’t forget food safety n the midst of a challenging economy, many people are trying to stretch their food dollars by doing more cooking at home. While saving money is important, practicing food safety is essential.

Food poisoning can have serious consequences, especially for young children, pregnant women, older adults and people who are immune-compromised or chronically ill.

The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety Services Department encourages home cooks

I

to remember these key concepts: proper temperature control; cleanliness; thorough cooking; safe storage; and separation of raw and cooked foods to prevent crosscontamination.

“Harmful bacteria can grow rapidly between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Justin Grego, Safety Services director.

Try to make food shopping the last errand before going home. At the store, select frozen and refrigerated foods just before going to the register, and store them promptly when you return home.

“Wash hands thoroughly, often and immediately after working with raw foods,” Grego recommended.

Sanitize all work surfaces and cutting boards. Launder dish cloths, towels and pot holders frequently and clean dishes, utensils and can openers thoroughly. Soak sponges in a mild bleach solution between uses, or use paper towels.

“The main function of cooking is to kill disease-causing microorganisms,” Grego said.

To do this job effectively, the internal temperature of the food must reach at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit for beef, at least 160 degrees for ground meats and at least 165 for pork and poultry. Reheat leftovers to at least 165.

“Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw and cooked foods and their juices separate at all times. Never,” said Grego, “use the same plate or utensil for cooked food that was used to prepare or transport the raw product.

Keep the two-hour rule in mind when serving a large meal, buffet or reception. Do not leave perishables at room temperature for more than two hours in cool weather or one hour when it is warmer. After a party, discard any food that remained at room temperature for more than two hours.

Times are tough!

Protect what you have. . . . it may have to last a while.

Plant pigments commonly found in colorful fruits and vegetables appear to have a protective effect against bone loss in older adults, according to a new study.

Federal tax credits return for efficiency improvements to homes he Department of Energy announced that federal tax credits for energy improvements to homes have been revived for 2009.

The original tax credit expired at the end of 2007, but it was revived as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, according to the DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy News (EERE News), a weekly electronic newsletter.

EERE News said federal tax credits are available now for 10 percent of the cost of insulation, storm doors and Energy Starqualified “cool roofs,” up to a limit of $500; 10 percent of the cost of exterior windows and skylights, up to a limit of $200; for up to $300 on new high-efficiency air conditioners, heat pumps, water heaters and corn-fueled stoves;

T

and for up to $150 on high-efficiency furnaces and boilers.

The newsletter reports that those tax credits expire at the end of this year, but there’s also a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost of Energy Star-qualified geothermal heat pumps, up to a limit of $2,000, and that does not expire until 2016.

The act reviving the tax credits also extends a federal tax credit for 30 percent of the cost of both residential and commercial solar energy installations while eliminating a $2,000 cap on the tax credit for residential solar electric installations.

It also established a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost of residential wind energy systems, fuel cells and microturbines, and all of those clean energy tax credits are good through 2016.

Nutrients support bone health over time indings from a new study suggest that natural pigments found in plants may help protect against bone loss in older men and women.

Researchers funded by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) reported the findings in a paper published by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Other studies have consistently shown that fruit and vegetable intake is good for bones.

Biological antioxidants in fruits and vegetables, such as carotenoids, protect cells and tissues from damage caused by naturally occurring oxygen free radicals in the body.

Such plant nutrients may help protect the skeleton by reducing oxidative stress and thereby inhibiting bone breakdown or resorption.

The study examined potential effects on bone mineral density of overall and individual intake of several carotenoid compounds, including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, betacryptoxanthin, lycopene and lutein+zeaxanthin.

For the observational study, the researchers tracked changes in bone mineral density at two areas of the hip and lumbar spine of male and female volunteers, aged 75 on average.

Among the volunteers, 213 men and 390 women were measured at the beginning of the study and four years later.

Over the course of the four years of the study, carotenoids were associated with some level of protection against losses in bone

F

mineral density at the hip in men and at the lumbar spine in women.

The results suggest there is a protective effect of carotenoids, particularly lycopene, against bone loss in older adults. The researchers concluded that carotenoids may explain, in part, the previously observed protective effects of fruit and vegetable consumption of bone mineral density.

for food. In 2008, the CFBEO received more than 5,000 pounds of food through the Plant a Row for the Hungry program.

Rebek said there is a lot of interest in growing vegetables, and she is seeing even more interest this year as seed sales are going up.

“For those of you who are new to gardening or simply need some additional information, I encourage you to contact your local OSU Cooperative Extension office,” she said. “For

more than 30 years Oklahoma Gardening has been helping people make the most of their gardens. Now viewers are in a position where they can help others,” Rebek said. “With all of us working together it takes us a step closer to fighting hunger and malnutrition in Oklahoma.”

Oklahoma Gardening airs on local OETA stations every Saturday at 11 a.m. and every Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

Oklahoma Gardening will ‘plant a row for the hungry’ hen those zucchini and tomato plants start producing, many gardeners find themselves with an abundance of vegetables. Gardeners who choose to take part in the Plant a Row for the Hungry can be assured the extra food will not go to waste.

Kim Rebek, host of the popular television program Oklahoma Gardening, said Plant a Row for the Hungry is a people-helping-people approach to addressing hunger and malnutrition. The program was started in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association of America.

“This season on the show we are encouraging gardeners to plant an extra row of produce and donate their surplus to food banks, soup kitchens and other service organizations in their communities,” Rebek said. “We have a new vegetable garden in our studio garden where we will be growing lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, as well as other produce. We will donate the extra food to local food pantries in Stillwater.”

Rebek said she introduced the Plant a Row for the Hungry during a show that aired March 14, but will be checking back on the program throughout this season.

“We want viewers to let us know what they are doing in their own communities and we will share these updates on the show,” she said. “We’ll also provide updates on how much produce is donated from our own garden at the Oklahoma Gardening studio.”

According to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s Web site, Oklahoma ranks seventh in the nation at 13 percent in the number of people who are food insecure. The USDA defines food insecure as being hungry at times during the year due to lack of money
