Shaun Thompson Duffy’s Culture Breads finally found a brick-and-mortar location, and it’s been a game-changer for Spokane’s bread scene. The shop, tucked in into a long-empty storefront in the South Perry District, celebrates local grain from field to glass and flour to loaf. Thompson Duffy makes bread the old-fashioned way: by hand, using ancient, landrace and heirloom grains that are stone-ground on site, then naturally leavened and wood-fired in a custom-built oven. Because of Spokane’s location along the northern edge of the Palouse, one of the nation’s top grain-growing regions, Thompson Duffy is also able to do something many bakers aren’t. He’s able to get all of his grain from within 100 miles of the spot where it’s milled and baked into bread. While some make a point to use some locally or regionally grown grain, it’s rare to find a shop that bakes solely with it. The fully renovated building also houses a nano-brewery that makes beers with locally grown and locally malted grain, some of which comes from farmer Don Scheuerman, co-founder of Palouse Heritage and one of the partners in the business. Also on the menu: sandwiches and wood-fired flatbreads and Viennoiserie, such as croissants and pains au chocolat. 1026 E. Newark Ave. (509) 241-3853. thegrainshed.coop.

Though you may not be able to eat the hull of a sunflower seed, the kernel itself packs a nutritious punch, providing you with valuable nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. Bonus: Sunflower seeds are rich in phytosterols, a plant chemical that has been shown to help reduce cholesterol. Sunflower seeds also contain vitamin C, iron, and even fiber, among many other nutrients.

Unbranded towels? Please. That’s so basic. He requires imported and re-cut Versace towels that he uses for wiping his brow onstage, Wet Paint reports.

Sunflower seeds and products made from them are often contaminated with a toxin produced by molds, report researchers. This poses an increased health risk in many low-income countries worldwide.

If overcast and chilly: Start with a big bowl of soup. Skip the turkey chili for chicken tortilla: it’s complex, well-spiced, and bobbing with lots of shredded chicken. The side dish of crispy tortilla batons for adding at whim is bonus. NEST serves classic post-skiing fare (tacos with short rib or grilled shrimp, a burger, club sandwich), but the breakout star is a bahn mi with yuzu-roasted pork and pickled vegetables on chewy baguette.
