U.S. ostrich farmers say they’re finding new customers who developed a red meat allergy triggered by tick bites. Ostrich meat is red when raw and has a taste similar to beef. Kentucky farmer Brent Williams was diagnosed about seven years ago with alpha-gal syndrome. So he was eager to get into the ostrich business when farmer W.D. King proposed raising them on his central Kentucky farm. King and other farmers say they are seeing interest from alpha-gal sufferers who crave red meat. There are about 10 to 15 ostrich farms in the U.S. dedicated to raising the African native birds.
When kitchen burnout hits, figuring out what to make for dinner every day can feel like an impossible task. Eating out gets expensive. And it can also be healthier to cook at home, where it's easier to control things like salt and sugar. Going to an international supermarket can be one way to break out of the dinner rut. Specialty markets have been growing in the U.S., and foodies recommend leaving your neighborhood to explore the options. Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you encounter an aisle full of unfamiliar ingredients. Begin by adding new flavors and products to more familiar foods and pantry staples. For instance, try swapping scrambled eggs and toast for a Ugandan rolex. That's a thin vegetable omelet wrapped in chapati flatbread.
