“…This is especially fraught given the colonial stereotyping of the word curry, which is used to refer to the many gravy-like dishes made with a mix of spices, including ginger and chili powder, in different proportions. There is no one dish called curry, and the term was coined by the British to give a homogenized name for a variety of south Asian dishes (Maroney, 2011). The "curry smelling" Indian immigrant or the stindian, a conflation of the stinky Indian immigrant, is a common racist stereotype and, as Madhavi Mallapragada (2016) notes, "curry marks the outsider status of the [south Asian] immigrant not just within the 'national' framework ('Indian not American') but also within the racial hierarchies of American culture ('not white' and not a desirable 'ethnic' group within multicultural United States)" (p. 265).…”

Using Alexis Jemal’s conceptualization of transformative potential, founded on Paulo Freire’s idea of Critical Consciousness, a guiding transformative justice approach and accompanying questionnaire are provided here that can be adapted into any existing early childhood or elementary curriculum for children. The approach provides teachers with a methodology to search for new books and resources and use existing ones to foster their own and their students’ critical social consciousness. The transformative justice approach has two objectives: one, to enable teachers to help understand, guide, and mediate differences in the context of equity and social justice; and two, to equip children with social awareness and critical consciousness to identify stereotypes and biases, and to build solidarities between and among themselves. The transformative justice approach does not actively avoid books or resources with stereotypes or biases, but seeks to build skill sets in children and teachers to recognize and counter biases and stereotypes using texts as learning tools. It synthesizes and builds on anti-bias and culturally-sensitive pedagogies to intentionally center structural and systemic inequities, as well as fosters social awareness and critical thinking in both teachers and students by reimagining the classroom as a collaborative learning space.

“…The majority of nuts are high in fat (e.g., pecan 70%, macadamia nut 66%, Brazil nut 65%, walnut 60%, almonds 55%, and peanut butter 55%). Only very few have a very high content of starch [1], while most have a significant protein level (in the 10-30% range). Many nuts have recently been discovered to be particularly high in antioxidants [2].…”

Nuts are nutritional containing foods that nature has gifted with complex matrix of bioactives and beneficial nutrients including poly- and monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant phenolics, phytosterols, tocopherols, minerals, fibers, and high-quality proteins. Because of their unique nutritional composition, they are beneficial to human health. Many epidemiological studies reported the beneficial effect of nuts on coronary heart diseases as well as in diabetes for both males and females. Nut crops also have good effects on inflammation, vascular damage, oxidative stress, cancer, and hypertension. Interventional studies reported that nut consumption has lipid lowering effect. Nuts are thus among the most highly nutritious foods available. When left in their shells, many nuts have a long lifespan and can be easily kept for winter use. Much research has been conducted on nuts and their beneficial effects on health. This chapter discusses the current knowledge of nuts crops and their beneficial effects on health. Currently available literature suggests that consumption of nuts particularly as part of healthy diet is associated with beneficial outcomes such as better cognitive function, decreased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities, and cancer. Further, long-term and interventional studies are required to make a definitive conclusion on the health-promoting effects of nuts consumption through the diet.
