The first Wednesday in October just happens to be National Pumpkin Seed Day. We could not let this slip by without shining a bit of light on pumpkin seeds because these little guys just happen to be a nutritional powerhouse. The World’s Healthiest Foods.org have included pumpkin seeds within their list of the world’s healthiest foods.
July 7 is National Macaroni day. That said, we could not confirm the source of who actually started National Macaroni day, but considering Americans love of Macaroni and Cheese, we are not going to belabor this point. You should know, the word "macaroni" does not actually mean a curved or elbow shape pasta tube. In fact, “macaroni” refers to a variety of pasta, not the shape. Macaroni is a dry pasta made with durum wheat and made without egg. Macaroni in the U.S. is usually the elbow variety, however, Macaroni in Italy is usually a straight tubular square-ended pasta.
