Recurra a los cereales integrales para obtener un refuerzo nutricional
Last Updated on July 23, 2024 by Daily News Staff
(Family Features) Una alimentación nutritiva, incluidos los refrigerios más inteligentes, es una forma importante de proteger su corazón y mantener la salud y el bienestar en general. Si bien muchas personas entienden los conceptos básicos de una alimentación saludable, por ejemplo, evitar demasiados dulces azucarados, algunos están confundidos acerca de las categorías importantes de alimentos que pueden afectar la nutrición.
Según una encuesta realizada por The Harris Poll en nombre de la American Heart Association, los adultos estadounidenses tienen menos conocimientos sobre los granos refinados frente a los integrales en comparación con otras categorías de alimentos como frutas, verduras y proteínas. Los cereales integrales son, de hecho, una característica clave de las recomendaciones de la Asociación para una dieta saludable para el corazón.
Hay dos tipos de productos de cereales: cereales integrales, que contienen todo el grano, y cereales refinados, que se han molido hasta obtener una textura más fina, como la harina o sémola. La mayoría de los adultos, según la encuesta, pueden distinguir los granos integrales de los refinados. Sin embargo, hay algunas percepciones erróneas.
La mayoría cree incorrectamente que el pan multigrano es integral. Además, solo el 17 % cree que el sorgo es un ejemplo de grano entero cuando, de hecho, es una opción de grano entero. Los cereales integrales como el sorgo, la avena y el arroz integral son fuentes ricas en fibra dietética, pueden mejorar los niveles de colesterol en la sangre y proporcionar nutrientes que ayudan al cuerpo a formar nuevas células, regular la tiroides y mantener un sistema inmunológico saludable.
Estas dulces y masticables barras de granola con nueces y dátiles de la iniciativa Healthy for Good de la American Heart Association, respaldada por Sorghum Checkoff, son un refrigerio perfecto para disfrutar durante toda la semana. El sorgo reventado agrega un ingrediente sorpresa para una textura crujiente, mientras que la avena y las nueces tostadas en seco brindan un delicioso sabor tostado.

Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association y Sorghum Checkoff
Porciones: 12 (1 barra por porción)
- Aceite en aerosol antiadherente
- 1 1/2 tazas de copos de avena
- 1/4 taza de rodajas de almendras o almendras enteras, picadas en trozos grandes
- 1/4 taza de pistachos sin cáscara, picados en trozos grandes
- 1 taza de dátiles sin carozo
- 1/2 taza de arándanos secos sin azúcar
- 1/4 taza de sorgo integral crudo
- 1/4 taza de miel
- 1/4 taza de mantequilla de maní baja en sodio
- 1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla
- 1/8 cucharadita de sal
- Precaliente el horno a 350 F.
- Cubra el fondo y los lados de un molde para hornear cuadrado de 8 pulgadas con una envoltura de plástico o papel pergamino. Rocíe ligeramente con spray antiadherente para cocinar.
- En una bandeja para hornear grande, extienda la avena, las almendras y los pistachos en una sola capa. Hornee de 10 a 15 minutos, o hasta que estén ligeramente doradas, revolviendo ocasionalmente. Deje enfriar un poco.
- En un procesador de alimentos o licuadora, procese los dátiles y los arándanos de 1 a 1 1/2 minutos, o hasta que estén picados y grumosos. Transfiera a un tazón grande.
- Coloque 2 cucharadas de sorgo en un recipiente de silicona apto para microondas o en una bolsa de papel marrón limpia. Si usa un recipiente apto para microondas, cúbralo con una tapa. Si usa una bolsa de papel, ciérrela y colóquela en un plato para microondas con el doblez hacia abajo. Cocine en el microondas a temperatura alta durante 2 minutos o hasta que haya más de 10 segundos entre los saltos. Repita con el sorgo restante, calentándolo en el microondas durante 1 1/2 minutos, o hasta que transcurran más de 10 segundos entre los saltos.
- Revuelva el sorgo reventado, la avena, las almendras y los pistachos en la mezcla de dátiles.
- En una cacerola pequeña a fuego lento, caliente la miel y la mantequilla de maní durante 5 minutos o hasta que la mantequilla de maní esté suave y la mezcla esté tibia, revolviendo ocasionalmente. Retírelo del calor. Agregue la vainilla y la sal.
- Vierta la mezcla de mantequilla de maní sobre la mezcla de dátiles, revolviendo para romper en pequeños grumos. Transfiera la mitad a la fuente para hornear. Usando el fondo de un vaso para beber o los dedos ligeramente rociados con aceite en aerosol antiadherente para cocinar, presione hacia abajo firmemente para aplanar y empaque bien para que los grumos se adhieran entre sí. Repita con la mitad restante. Congele, tapado, alrededor de 1 hora, hasta que esté firme.
- Coloque la tabla de cortar sobre la fuente. Voltee la sartén. Deseche la envoltura de plástico. Con un cuchillo, corte en 12 barras. Refrigere las sobras en un recipiente hermético hasta por 1 semana.

Presqu’ile Winery Partners With LAND to Bring Contemporary Art to Santa Maria Valley
Presqu’ile Winery and LAND are partnering to bring free, site-responsive contemporary art to the Santa Maria Valley estate in Santa Barbara Wine Country.
Santa Barbara Wine Country is about to get a fresh reason to linger a little longer. Presqu’ile Winery has announced a new collaboration with Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), the nationally recognized nonprofit known for taking contemporary art out of traditional museums and galleries and placing it directly into the environments that shape it. The result: curated, site-responsive works—some created specifically for the property—installed across Presqu’ile’s Santa Maria Valley estate.
A winery becomes an open-air gallery—at no cost
Under the partnership, Presqu’ile will serve as a host site for LAND programming, opening its estate to the public for free. Visitors can expect contemporary art integrated into the vineyard setting, with select installations shaped by the landscape itself. The goal is simple and ambitious at the same time: expand no-cost access to contemporary art along California’s Central Coast while creating a cultural experience that feels inseparable from the place it inhabits.
LAND’s approach is rooted in the belief that art should be experienced where people actually live, work, and gather. Rather than building exhibitions around white walls and controlled lighting, LAND supports projects driven by place—work that engages the environment, the community, and the lived experience of the artists creating it.
“Nourishing reciprocity” between art, landscape, and community
Laura Hyatt, Director of LAND, emphasized how the Central Coast setting opens new creative possibilities for artists.
Hyatt noted that collaborating with Presqu’ile gives artists the opportunity to engage with the region’s natural beauty and unique ecology—placing artworks in what she described as “nourishing reciprocity” with the landscape and the visitors moving through it. She also highlighted the long-term potential of the partnership, which allows for deeper exploration over time, expands LAND’s geographic reach, and strengthens connections between Southern and Central California.
For Hyatt, the collaboration is personal as well: her family has roots in the area going back five generations, adding another layer of community connection to the work LAND hopes to cultivate.
A shared mindset: tradition, experimentation, and a sense of place
Presqu’ile framed the partnership as a natural extension of what the winery already does—balancing tradition with experimentation. In the same way winemaking can honor time-tested methods while still pushing toward new expressions, contemporary art can offer new ways of seeing familiar processes and landscapes.
Matt Murphy, co-founder of Presqu’ile Winery, said the family’s appreciation for the visual arts made the collaboration an easy “yes.” He pointed to the opportunity to create “fun, compelling and unexpected” ways for the community to engage with both the installations and the estate itself—and to experience Presqu’ile through each artist’s creative lens.
What happens next
In the near term, LAND will install artworks developed through its programming on the Presqu’ile property, with public access remaining free. The collaboration is designed with community benefit at its center, positioning the estate as a cultural and agricultural destination—not just a tasting room.
Looking ahead, Presqu’ile has submitted plans for approval to develop expanded spaces intended to support free public art, cultural programming, and community gathering. If approved, those improvements would signal a long-term commitment to integrating arts and culture into the estate experience and welcoming future partners whose work aligns with Presqu’ile’s values of openness, creativity, and place-based expression.
Additional details—including participating artists and installation timelines—will be announced as the collaboration progresses.
About the partners
Presqu’ile Winery
Presqu’ile (pronounced press-keel) is a family-owned estate winery in Santa Maria Valley on California’s Central Coast. Founded in 2007, the winery produces cool-climate wines from its sustainably farmed estate vineyard and from a select group of growers across Santa Barbara County. The name—French Creole for “almost an island”—reflects the Murphy family’s Gulf Coast heritage and the winery’s deep emphasis on place.
Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND)
Founded in 2009, LAND is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to connecting people and places through site-responsive public art and programs. Over 15 years, LAND has presented more than 500 artists across 300+ programs and exhibitions, ranging from large-scale sculptural commissions to billboards, roadside screenings, workshops, and city-wide video presentations—reaching millions of people.
Why it matters
This collaboration isn’t just about adding art to a winery—it’s about rethinking where art belongs, who gets to access it, and how landscape can become part of the creative process. For the Central Coast, Presqu’ile and LAND are setting the stage for a new kind of cultural destination: one where a walk through the vines can also be a walk through contemporary ideas, made visible in the open air.

Casamigos Introduces New Pre-Mixed Margaritas (Classic Lime + Spicy) Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026
Casamigos is getting an early start on FIFA World Cup 2026™ watch-party season—and it’s doing it with a little friendly rivalry. The tequila brand announced a new World Cup campaign starring Gabrielle Union and Keegan-Michael Key, pairing the two as playful “hosts” who go head-to-head over a simple match-day question: are you Team Classic or Team Spicy?
The campaign tagline says it all: “Rivals at the game, Casamigos at the Bar.” The idea is less about picking sides forever and more about leaning into the competitive energy of the tournament—then coming together once the final whistle blows.
Team Classic vs. Team Spicy: the new bottled margaritas
Alongside the celebrity-led campaign, Casamigos introduced new pre-mixed margaritas in two flavors:
- Classic Lime
- Spicy
Both are designed for “pour, serve, and get back to the game” hosting—no extra ingredients, no shaking, no measuring. According to the brand, each pre-mixed margarita is 20.5% ABV and made with Casamigos Tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and natural flavors.
Casamigos says the bottles are meant to keep hosting simple during the tournament’s full 90 minutes (plus stoppage time), whether fans are gathering at home, meeting up at the bar, or celebrating in host cities.
What Gabrielle Union and Keegan-Michael Key are bringing to the campaign
Casamigos is leaning into Union and Key’s chemistry to capture what makes World Cup fandom so fun: the passion, the pride, and the rivalries that can get loud—without getting personal.
Union, who said she grew up playing soccer, is firmly Team Spicy, noting she loves “a little heat,” and that the best part of the sport is how it brings people together.
Key, a longtime World Cup viewer, is Team Classic, saying the “classic rivalries” already provide all the spice he needs.
World Cup activations and limited-time packaging
Casamigos is an Official Tequila Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ and plans to activate in host cities throughout the tournament with fan-first experiences. The brand also noted that its pre-mixed margaritas will feature limited-time FIFA World Cup 2026™ packaging.
For shoppers, the new pre-mixed margaritas are available in:
- 750ml bottles (about 10 cocktails)
- 375ml bottles (about 5 cocktails)
Casamigos lists 110 calories per serving and a suggested retail price of $21.99 MSRP, with both flavors best served chilled.
What to watch for
The World Cup is still months away, but brands are already battling for a spot on your watch-party table. Casamigos’ move is a clear bet on convenience: bottled margaritas that keep the vibe high without turning the host into the bartender.
And if you’re the type who treats every match like a personal derby, Casamigos’ message is basically this: talk your trash during the game—then toast like friends afterward.
