It's Podcast Tuesday! We are going back in time with Science in Your Shopping Cart! Did you know that many of the advances in wool and leather clothing were developed in Wyndmoor, PA, including a technique to get rid of the yellowing of wool?

New Episode of Cooking with Science!

In this episode we team up with the Culinary Arts program at Howard Community College in Columbia, MD, to create a series of dishes using nutritious and versatile healthy grains. For this episode, Chef Eric McCoy shows us how to make a delicious, simple, and healthy Farro and Pomegranate Salad that will be the hit of any dinner or a tasty lunch to take to work with you. During this episode, you’ll hear from grains experts from ARS Drs. Liu and Baer, who discuss the health benefits, the versatility, the growing, and the science behind some pretty special ancient grains, including ones that are gluten-free.

Watch the video then get the recipe.
