    A Sassy discussion on "Nutritive Mismatch" & The End of Craving by Mark Schatzker

    Most of my closest friends call me “Sherry Spice.” Admittedly, this nickname was born from my days of creating spice blends, but today, you’ll see a whole new “spicy” side of me in this episode of Let’s Talk Taste with Sherry, Saving the Earth One Flavor at a Time.   Yeah, I can tend to get a little sassy at times, but if you see or hear that side of me, you should know, the message is important!  This episode is the epitome of importance, so the sass is apparent.    This passed week I read the latest book from one of my all time favorite journalist authors, Mark Schatzker, “The End of Craving, Reclaiming the Lost Wisdom of Eating Well.” In it, Mark defines a term that I have been word tripping around for years now. I’ve been explaining, over-explaining, creating my own terms and navigating all there is to understand about the importance of flavors matching nutrients. In his book, Mark coined the term “nutritive mismatch.”   BAM. That’s it.  This is the thing that has us dismissing our sense of taste as superficial and seeking the current “super food” solution to all things….as long as it tastes “good.”   Ahh...but does it really taste GOOD?    Read the book (after you listen to this episode).    In our fast paced world with massive productivity pressures, food and flavor has been deprioritized, and we have found ourselves almost requiring packaged food products. Most of us know that ideally, we should be eating whole foods. In the instances where a packaged food product is a must, how do we know when our taste buds are actually experiencing the nutrients we’re taking in.  How do we avoid NUTRITIVE MISMATCH?!    Join us for this episode as Sherry explains some ingredients to avoid, which ones you should see when you experience certain flavors, and how to make the best flavor choices possible when the only option is choosing a packaged food or drink.

    Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Association and Sherry validate that flavor and nutrients are indeed a match.

    As what typically happens with the brilliant guests on the show, Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Association and Bionutrient Institute completely validates my work from a scientific and embodiment perspective! Dan Kittredge is the Founder and Executive Director of The Bionutrient Association and The Bionutrient Association (formerly the Real Food Campaign).  Dan and his team have created a consumer ready, open sourced nutrient detection device that is designed to collect data that corresponds to nutrient density of foods. In this episode Dan brilliantly points out that our bodies are so much more scientifically complex than his device! Now, of course, this doesn't take away from the amazing technology that his team has created. To be able to physically collect and compare nutrient density based upon environment and farming practices is a technology that could shake up the food world.  If that isn't exciting enough, having this data to compare then allows us, as humans with functioning taste buds, to also do a taste comparison, thus demonstrating that indeed, our taste buds can detect nuances of nutrition.  THIS EPISODE IS A DON'T MISS EPISODE!!!  Highlights: 4:30 - The correlation of flavor and nutrients is REAL Dan: "30% of our genetic code is dedicated to aroma and taste. For whatever reason, nature seems to think that we need the senses and aroma and flavor to guide us because things that have better flavor are inherently more nutritious.  6:28 Dan: "It doesn't matter what the food is, there are massive variations in nutrient levels"  6:36 Dan "What we have right now is epidemic levels of non communicable diseases or chronic illness which data shows correlates directly with nutrient deficiencies"  7:05 Dan "Start eating food that tastes better, which means more nutritious, then these symptoms of chronic illness can reverse itself" 7:30 Dan "There's a massive opportunity for food to have a very positive effect on our well being." 8:10 Dan "We haven't been trained to trust our sense of taste."  8:39 Dan and Sherry discuss if an organic carrot tastes better.  8:50 Dan "The point (of food quality) now is nutritional value, which is the flavor. Our work is to establish a function of the supply chain where people can make decisions on the inherent nutritional value/flavor."  9:37 (the goal is that) Dan "Consumers have the opportunity to make decisions based upon nutritional value/flavor as opposed to other marketing labels  12:04 Sherry reflects on how food has changed and created the demand for manufactured flavors.  12:57 Dan. "We have a scientific instrument- OUR BODIES! It's about tuning within more than tuning without. We've been trained to get knowledge outside of ourselves somehow."  16:22 Dan and Sherry share their admiration of Mark Schatzker's work.  18:12 Sherry discusses how her Ted talk correlated choosing flavor to supporting regenerative farmers. Dan agrees " I agree 100% with you! This is our opportunity to choose what we build our bodies out of, which either gives us bigger vitality and pleasure or sickness and disease.  20:45 The technology behind the Bionutrient Device 25:00 Dan "We're doing all of the science stuff so that you can feel safe trusting your body~"  28:10 Dan is accused of being in Sherry's brain for her Tedx talk.  34:55 Turning fear around our food situation into hope and solutions.  36:00 Sherry and Dan discuss the calorie/energy concept of food  42:32 Dan "God/nature gave you a profound instrument of knowing.  It's about re-directing your energy from something conceptual to something visceral.

  3. Finding the Five Flavors in your Thanksgiving Meal

    Finding the Five Flavors in your Thanksgiving Meal

    Here on Let’s Talk Taste with Sherry, we talk extensively about the 5 flavors we experience on our taste buds. Salty, Sweet, Sour, Bitter and Umami are the basic categories of flavor that we actually experience on our tongues. If you were to remove the aromatics which create the actual distinguishing nuances, these are the flavors that would remain. I always emphasize them, not to discount the importance of the aromatic experience of flavor, but rather to give us a launching point to remind ourselves of the power that our sense of taste holds to provide us with wisdom. When we have a launch point of understanding, we can begin to recognize the wisdom that has been there all along. Sherry’s culinary training and passion for food has inevitably placed Thanksgiving at the top of her favorite holiday list. Besides the obvious and beautiful gratitude that we can choose to feel, it's all about the FOOD! So why not take the time this Thanksgiving to not just gorge ourselves, but rather take the time to look for each flavor, not only dish by dish, but also ingredient by ingredient. Join Sherry in this episode of Let’s Talk Taste with Sherry, Saving the Earth One Flavor at a Time where she guides you through tasting each of the classic Thanksgiving dishes so that you can recognize each one and perhaps even gain an understanding of how to make your favorite dish even better with layers of real ingredient flavor. https://www.flavorremedy.com
