Canadian wild rice

Wild rice is Canada's only native grains, but also Canada's only weeds to seed the growth patterns, the annual wild rice will bear full of seeds, so that humans can feeding. Wild rice grows in shallow rivers shore, but some can also see wild rice lakeside trail, and slow the flow of these lakes are non-static.

: Canadian wild rice very long history, Aboriginal 亚尔冈 (Algonquian) and Sioux Indians (Siouan) Indian wild rice known as "Manon Man" (Manomen), as early as before the white Europeans arrived in Canada centuries, the two Indians is harvested wild rice for food. When early European explorers across the Midwest prairie Canada, but also to wild rice as food. Although the name wild rice inside has a "m" word, in fact, does not belong to Mykonos, but belong to the shallow grassy mushroom mushroom plant grass seed, wild rice scientific name Zizania Aquatica. Wild rice in Canada there are multiple species, including Kitano meters (Norhern, scientific name: Palustris), the wild rice (Interior), south of wild rice (Southern, scientific name: Aquatica), estuarine wild rice (Estuarine, scientific name: Brevis), Texas wild rice (Texas, scientific name: Texana). Wild rice is Canada's only native grains, but also Canada's only weeds to seed the growth patterns, the annual wild rice will bear full of seeds, so that humans can feeding. Wild rice grows in shallow rivers shore, but some can also see wild rice lakeside trail, and slow the flow of these lakes are non-static.
Over the past one hundred years, Canadian farmers have been trying in some wild rice does not grow naturally grown wild rice waters, but eventually failed. Many factors caused the failure, such as pests, animal damage, water fluctuations, water and other chemical substances, and therefore the price of natural wild rice more expensive than many other cereals.
Wild rice seeds mature in early autumn will fall shallow water sediments of the lake or river, quietly lying on the freezing or near freezing temperature, and spent the fall and winter. In the spring, warmer weather, mushroom seed will take root downward, gently attached to the soil surface, germinate and grow. Wild rice in about two feet deep shallow zone growth was the most good, but in some environments suitable place, even in shallow waters deeper than four feet can thrive. When the wild rice stems and leaves grow up to be higher than the surface about one or two feet and they will bloom, flowers after pollination, after two to three weeks, seeds will be fully mature, ripe seeds and brown ink was also with a faint green, very easy to fall. Traditional harvesting methods Indians are riding a canoe, gently tap the ear to make wild rice falling, to be collected. Today, harvesting wild rice with past basically the same way, but the canoe replaced pneumatic boat, passing the water, gently sweep the grass ear, specially designed tray will collect wild rice falling .

Yield

Canadian wild rice producing areas located Ebner Jorda province (Alberta), Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan), Manitoba (Manitoba), Ontario (Ontario). 2003 Canadian wild rice production, 70% concentrated in Saskatchewan. Canadian wild rice is harvested from the mushroom growth of grass in the natural water bodies, known as "Canadian Lake Wild Rice" (Canadian Lake Wild Rice), used to artificially planted with most American wild rice as a distinction.

Canola oil

: Canadian canola oil golden grassland
Every summer, the Canadian prairie looking ahead is a golden yellow canola. Rapeseed (Canola) is a Canadian plant breeders, the mustard seeds developed through conventional breeding methods, and can improve its high nutritional value, especially to reduce the saturated fatty acid content. 1974, Dr. plant breeders Manitoba (Manitoba) University of Baldur Stefansson for the first time developed a dual low mustard seed plant species, which can reduce the content of erucic acid and glucosinolates. The Brassica napus varieties, namely Tower, is the first in line with improved varieties of mustard seed specific quality requirements.
The flowers will bloom yellow mustard flowers, pods will form after its appearance is similar to pea pods, but the volume is only one fifth of the pea pods. There is a small round pods rapeseed, canola oil can squeeze after shredded. Each tablet contains 40% rapeseed oil. End of virgin canola oil meal after processing into diesel powder feed, become high-protein livestock feed. Most canola grown in western Canada, some are Ontario, the Pacific Northwest, north-central and southeastern United States. Europe and Australia can also see canola.
Canola (Rapeseed) this term is not used in place of canola (Canola). Canola oil is subject to strict quality control standards control, the product does not meet government standards can not be used have registered trademark "canola" name.
Canadian canola oil demand growing, because of advanced technology and improve standards to ensure that these products meet the requirements of consumers around. The United States is Canada's canola oil and canola meal largest importer, while Japan is the largest canola imports to the local press into oil. Mexico and China also imports of Canadian canola, and canola meal are exported to Indonesia, South Korea and other Pacific Rim countries.

Health and Nutrition

Nutrition experts believe that canola oil has the best fatty acid ratio. Research indicates that the fatty acid composition of canola oil in the most beneficial to human health, but also nutritionally balanced diet an integral part. Medical practitioners and nutritionists have strong appreciation of the fatty acid composition of canola, that its fatty acid ratio is among the best of all edible oils. Compared to the market other edible oils, canola oil contains the lowest saturated fat (7%), its monounsaturated fat content is relatively high (61%), while polyunsaturated fat content of moderate (22%).
Canola oil is the best choice for cooking because it is very healthy. Saturated fat content of canola oil cooking oil lowest in all, only half of the olive oil, but does not contain any trans fats or cholesterol. In fact, the study found that if the canola oil instead of saturated fatty acids can protect our heart.

Natural, zero pollution of soil growing environment, pure water, coupled with the government on the environment and sustainable management and strict food safety controls are Canadian soybeans best quality assurance. The Canadian researchers are also being developed in other areas suitable for the production of soybeans varieties. 2009 soybean production reached 3.5 million tons, while the 2008-09 soybean and soybean product export value up to one billion Canadian dollars. Our largest customers, including Japan, the United States, Belgium and China.
Canada has been the world's major non-genetically modified soybeans supply countries. The purity of its non-GM close to 100%, through verification and widely used in Japan. However, until recent years, food-grade non-GM soy market, because consumers quality requirements increase, and eventually be taken seriously. The Canadian non-GM soybeans, contain higher protein and soy isoflavones, a multiple of the annual export volume growth. Canada is particularly suitable for the manufacture of high-quality soy traditional soy foods, including tofu, natto, soy milk and miso. Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia and other Asian countries since the early 1970s to Canada to buy food-grade soybeans to produce tofu, soy milk, miso, natto, soy milk, soy sauce ...... and other processed products.

Kitchen use and more versatile

Soy flour, soy protein and soybean oil is the raw material of many foods, including margarine, beverages, cheese, cake mix, soup, candy, meat substitutes and frozen desserts. Soy food is very healthy because soybeans are rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, unsaturated fats and proteins. In fact, the quality of soy protein with milk and meat protein is almost the same, but also by the medical profession that is one of the best sources of protein. Many clinical studies have shown that soy protein can lower cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular disease. Soy isoflavones also reduce the chances of breast cancer, reduce the symptoms of menopause for women.
Soy products due to lactose intolerance can not be ingested traditional dairy people, is a godsend. For example, soy milk that is rich in protein, vitamin B and iron, calcium strengthened after, but also provide as much calcium with milk.
But Canadian soybeans not only our food sources. After Youzha by soy protein-rich slag can be used as animal feed, soybean oil can also do some soap and cosmetics. Soybean oil or biodiesel fuel source, since 2001, Canada has made this application in industry.

Innovation and Excellence

Although soy foods have appeared many centuries, but never have continued research and development of space. Canadian soybean breeders, research and development of high quality for our customers around the world, food grade beans. We rely on the official Canadian Grain Commission (Canadian Grain Commission), to ensure that consumers buy into the world's best products. Canadian Grain Commission to define our soybean grading standards, and to ensure that these standards be strictly enforced. Whether provider or purchased from soybeans exported to foreign countries, all Canadian soybeans are graded according to the strict standards of the Canadian Grain Commission inspection.
Canadian Grain Commission also supervise Canadian soybean varieties identification verification standard (Canadian Identity-Preserved Recognition System (CIPRS)), which is a set of strict production management standards to regulate soybeans from planting, cultivation, harvest, processing and delivery process the entire program, greatly reducing pesticide residues doubt, probability and prevent contamination by genetically modified crops.
