Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Authentic artisanal cheeses aid digestion through the presence of enzymes and/or anti-viral MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides). They also contain less salt than processed cheeses, and none of the dyes, preservatives, stabilizers and other unnecessary ingredients found in more conventional cheese products". Market note on our cheese producers: Bobolink Dairy and Edgwick Farm are in this Saturday, Chaseholm Farm Creamery returns next on 2/5.
