Stir-fried red turnips with umeboshi

A very quick, colorful and flavorful recipe that will amaze you with its explosion of flavor from the very first bite. Umeboshi for those who are not familiar with it is a popular condiment in Japanese cuisine made from salted plums. Japanese plums i.e., the fruits of the Prunus mume tree that have reached maturity, are routinely used. The natural color is an orangey brown, given by the carotene content; however, it is often preferred to color the umeboshi to a more pleasing red color. The coloring is done by means of the leaves of shiso, an aromatic plant. Umeboshi has an accentuated sour and salty taste given mainly by steeping the plums in salt.

Heat the oil slightly, then add the turnips with a pinch of salt and sauté them quickly, then cook with the lid on until soft but still firm (you can add a little water if necessary). If you use already cooked turnips, the time will be greatly reduced.

Cheese consumption and health consequences, the study

Despite the fact that cheese is generally a nutrient-rich and well-tolerated fermented dairy product, its effects on health remain at the centre of debate and are still the subject of controversy.

This is due to the fact that cheese is on the one hand a rich source of high-quality proteins, lipids, minerals, vitamins, probiotics and bioactive molecules. On the other hand, however, it may contain high saturated fats and salt, elements considered inappropriate especially for preserving cardiovascular health.

A recent study published in Advances in Nutrition reviewed some data in this regard and this is what was found.
