Spring Rolls
A refreshing change from the usual fried variety, and have become a family favorite. They are great as a cool summertime meal, and are delicious dipped in a peanut sauce....
Vitamin K acts primarily in blood clotting, where its presence can make the difference between life and
death. More than a dozen different proteins and the mineral calcium are involved in making a blood
clot. Vitamin K is essential for the activation of several of these proteins. When any of the blood clotting
factors is lacking, hemorrhagic disease (uncontrolled bleeding) results. Vitamin K also participates in
the metabolism of bone proteins, most notably osteocalcin. Without vitamin K, osteocalcin cannot bind
to the minerals that normally form bones, resulting in poor bone mineralization.
