>>> IF IT’S FRIDAY, YOU KNOW IT’S “SUPERFOOD FRIDAY.” IT IS THE MARCH MADNESS EDITION. HERE TO TEST OUR KNOWLEDGE, WE’VE GOT TODAY NUTRITIONIST CONTRIBUTOR JOY BAUER, WHO IS ALSO TODAY’S GAME SHOW HOST. >> YEAH. SO THIS ONE, LIKE YOU SAID, WE

WILL BE PAYING HOMAGE TO MARCH MADNESS AND ALL THE DELICIOUS FOOD CONNECTED WITH IT. I WILL ASK A QUESTION AND GIVE YOU A FEW MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWERS. AFTER I LIST ALL OF THEM, IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER, HIT THE BUZZER AND WE’LL SEE IF

YOU’RE RIGHT. OKAY. SO QUESTION NUMBER ONE, WHICH FINGER FOOD DEVOURED BY SPORTS FANS DELIVERS A NICE DOSE OF VITAMIN C? AL? >> C, JALEPENO POPPERS. >> AND YOU WOULD BE CORRECT! >> THAT’S ILLEGAL. >> NEXT TIME WE KNOW. >> DQ’d. YOU’RE OUT. >> ALL PEPPERS, INCLUDING

JALEPENOS ARE PACKED WITH VITAMIN C, WHICH SUPPORTS A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM. NORMALLY, THEY ARE STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND BREADED AND DEEP FRIED. I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHIER VERSION. THAT’S HUMMUS. I NICE THEM, TAKE OUT THE SEEDS SO I’M EASING THE HEAT.

THEN YOU ADD THAT HUMMUS MIXTURE RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE. I PUT ON TOP OF THAT PANKO AND SEASONING. MIST IT IN THE OVEN FOR 25 MINUTES, GUYS. THEY ARE DELICIOUS. MAKE THEM AS HOT OR AS MILD AS YOU WOULD LIKE. >> THAT’S VERY NICE.

>> QUESTION NUMBER TWO. >> WAIT UNTIL ALL THE ANSWERS ARE LAID OUT. WHEN IT COMES TO DELICIOUS TOPPERS, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS RICHEST IN ANTIOXIDANTS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK FOR CERTAIN CANCERS AND HEALTH. BREW CHET TA, PESTO, GOAT CHEESE AND HONEY OR OLIVE TAPANADO.

>> AL? GOING WITH BRUSCHETTA. >> AND YOU WOULD BE EXACTLY RIGHT. >> THIS GAME IS RIGGED! >> THE REASON BEING THAT TOMATOES, THE STAR INGREDIENT, IS LOADED WITH AN ANTIOXIDANT THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CERTAIN CANCERS AND

HELPS PROTECT OUR SKIN FROM THE SUN’S RAYS. >> THESE ARE ALL GOOD TOPPINGS, THOUGH. >> AND THEY’RE ALL GOOD FOR YOU. IT IS JUST THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WAS, AGAIN, I SAY BRUSCHETTA, BUT I KNOW THE CORRECT WAY IS BRUSCHETTA.

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE IT AND TURN IT INTO A PASTA. I’M ADDING EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. I ADDED BALSAMIC FOR A DEPTH. NOW YOU ADD IN WHOLE GRAIN PASTA, AND YOU HAVE A HUGE BRUSCHETTA PASTA SALAD TO FEED A HUNGRY CREW. WHICH NUTRIENT HITCH MUNCHY IS

PERFECT FOR YOUR SPREAD, EDAMAME, ALMONDS OR RICE CAKES? >> ALMONDS. >> EDAMAME? >> EDAMAME WINS! IT IS A PERFECT FOOD. IT HAS PLANT-BASED OMEGA 3 FATS. HERE IS HOW TO INFUSE IT WITH SESAME GARLIC. THERE IT IS. >> YEP. >> IT’S RED HOT CHILI FLAKES. IT IS SESAME OIL.

IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF GARLIC SALT. MIX IT WITH STEAMED EDAMAME. ALL YOU DO IS MIX IT. IT’S DELICIOUS. IT WILL BE A HIT AT YOUR GAME WATCHING PARTIES. >> THIS WAS GREAT! >> CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> AL WAS AT FIRST PLACE AND
