Red raspberry is most often the source of ellagic acid. This substance found naturally in raspberries belongs to the family of phytonutrients called tannins, and it is viewed as being responsible for a good portion of the antioxidant activity of berries.
Cranberries are rich in antioxidants that are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA.
Meat gets its color from the iron found in the myoglobin and hemoglobin in the muscles and residual blood.
Red wine it's heart-healthy, it stands-up to full-flavored and full-bodied foods, it makes dining more interesting. Red wines can be plumy, or jammy, peppery or spicy. It is the grape skins that are responsible for the red wine's distinct color spectrum. The skins are in contact with the grape's juice during the fermentation process, allowing the dispersion of both color and tannins. Moderate amount of red wine lowers the risk of heart attack and can raise HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and prevent LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) from forming.
One way to celebrate Valentine's Day is to organize a good dinner. Or even a party. Or maybe go out to a special restaurant if you hate cooking like I do! Either way, when returning home you can always get some delicious chocolates and homemade cookies on a colorful melamine plate and a couple of good expresso mugs with hot coffee inside...Then find a nice placemat to cover that tray and take it all to your special place in the house. Get a nice movie. Romantic or not. And enjoy some time together! (Probably that's what I'll do myself!)
Here's some ideas for Valentine's Day. Melamine plates to fill with tasty cookies, chocolates, fruits or whatever you like; colorful Expresso mugs also from Zazzle. And some placemats you can use on your Valentine's dinner table or on your favorite tray. You don't have a tray? You can always improvise. Just get a Zazzle placemate on top of it and your ready to go. All these suggestions can be found at Zazzle's marketplace. Just click on each product and learn more about it.
