PALM SUGAR

Used mainly in South-East Asian cooking, palm sugar is made from boiling down the sap of various palm tree varieties. Light brown to black in colour, it has a coarse, sticky texture and is usually sold in hard cakes. Grate before adding to recipes. Palm sugar is available in Asian supermarkets

TOFU

Tofu actually originated in China over two thousand year ago, where legend has it that a cook over - seasoned a soy milk based soup with too much salt. The salt caused the soy milk to coagulate, and rest is history. Tofu is made from soybeans, water and a coagulant, or curdling agent. It is high in protein and calcium and well known for its ability to absorb new flavors through spices and marinades. More than most soy food, tofu is a concentrated source of easy - to - digest complete soy protein, with over 10 grams per half-cup serving, and is also a great source of calcium and iron.

SPELT FLOUR

Spelt flour is one of the most popular whole grain, non-wheat flours available. Spelt is a cereal grain in the wheat family, but it is not the same thing as wheat (same genus, different species). It has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor, similar to that of whole wheat flour. It has a fairly strong nutritional profile. Spelt has slightly fewer calories than wheat flour and is somewhat higher in protein. The flour is easy to digest but is lower in fiber than wheat.

TEMPEH

* Made by fermenting cooked soybeans with a mold * Brownish in colour and dry; can see the whole soybeans * Firm and chewy, has a slight earthy sweet taste * tempeh is less processed than tofu, it's healthier in general containing more protein and fibre than tofu. If you've never tried tempeh, you can find it at most health food stores (it's refrigerated).
