Green tea.. it just might be the next “it” ingredient.
Many people are starting to realize the incredible flavor of green tea.. heck, Snapple and Arizona are even on board with commercial production! Though many have sampled, not many yet realize the incredible health benefits (including cancer-fighting capabilities) that green tea has.
And then there is matcha… Matcha is powdered green tea (generally imported from Japan) that can be added to many types of foods and beverages — everything from smoothies, to baked goods, to pasta salad, fish and eggs. Matcha is the newest way to reap the powerful health benefits of green tea.
Though new to the United States, matcha has existed in some form since the 7th century. Popular in Japan, the health benefits of matcha far exceed those of regular green tea because with matcha you ingest the whole leaf, not just the brewed water. One glass of matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content!
Matcha Source is a premier online retailer of 100% matcha green tea from Japan — no sugar, additives or preservatives.

I would have to agree that green is the next big thing in the culinary world, especially that everyone is into living healthy! I hope more and more recipes using green tea will be available.
Matcha is stone ground and fully consumed, Matcha is one of the absolute richest foods when it comes to chlorophyll content. As previously mentioned, the way matcha is grown in the shade also boosts the chlorophyll content, in the already rich in chlorophyll content leaves.
