To help your body absorb the beneficial nutrients from kale more effectively, it's important to pair it with oil-based dressings or sauces. Fats significantly increase the bioavailability of carotenoids, regardless of how the vegetable is prepared.
Scientists have reconstructed the history of Arctic sea ice over the past 30,000 years by analyzing cosmic dust found in marine sediments. This data helps to understand how the reduction of sea ice affects the region's ecosystems and food chains.
A new study has shown that adding bananas to berry smoothies reduces the absorption of beneficial flavanols. For maximum benefit, combine berries with fruits that have low PPO activity or with vegetables.
A new study has shown that an increase in temperature alone does not raise CO₂ emissions from nutrient-poor soils—available forms of carbon and nutrients are also necessary for this to occur. This finding refines our understanding of the carbon balance in nature.
