According to a recent study in the journal Pharmacological Research, berry phytonutrients turn off enzymes that fuel depression and anxiety. Because out-of-season fresh berries can be expensive and poor quality this time of year, award winning chef Vitaly Paley of Paley's place restaurant in Portland, Oregon, switches to top-notch frozen berries. still packed with phytonutrients, vitamins and fiber, these chilly treats are easy to select and use:
SKATE THE BAG: High-quality berries are individually quick-frozen and should feel loose and separate in the bag.
NO NEED TO THAW: "Add frozen berries to pies, doughs and batters straight from the freezer".
TRANSFORM TOPPINGS: Replace sugary syrups and sauces with a naturally sweet berry coulis. Simply warm berries in a saucepan and add a dash of lemon juice and raw organic honey.
INFUSE IT: Jazz up salads, marinades and vegetables with berry-infused vinegar. boil three parts thawed berries with two parts vinegar, cool and refrigerate.
