Sarah Mastriani-Levi, an international health coach and personal chef, held her fourth class in the series <i>Eat Well. Live Well. Stay Well</i> on the nutritional significance and importance of whole grains this past Sunday in Herban Marketplace’s kitchen. Sarah talked about the numerous benefits of whole and ancient grains, focusing on farro, teff and freekeh. She completed the class by making and serving a freekeh grain dish with sautéed onion, cilantro, lemon, pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Sarah’s key suggestion was to, “Eat whole foods, watch the glycemic level in foods and remember that whole foods have the fiber necessary for digestion.”

There will be two more classes held this year: November 23:  <i>Eating to Avoid Nutritional Deficiencies</i> and on December 21: <i>Oil Pulling, Colon Cleaning.</i> To sign up for classes, go to herbanmarketplace.com or call 379-5550.
