The Healthiest Foods You’re Not Eating


We all know that healthy eating is important. So we eat our vegetables, try not to indulge too often in high fat foods, enjoy alcohol in moderation only, and try to get enough fiber in our diets. Those are only a few of the multitude of suggestions we’re supposed to keep in mind on a daily basis. But how do you know what’s the healthiest vegetable? There are only so many vegetables you can eat in a day. Which ones should you choose? What about spices? Which fish is best?

The New York Times compiled a list of the 11 best foods that you’re (probably) not eating.

They are:

  • Beets
  • Cabbage
  • Swiss Chard
  • Cinnamon
  • Pomegranate Juice
  • Dried Plums
  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Sardines
  • Tumeric
  • Frozen Blueberries
  • Canned Pumpkin

I now occasionally eat beets, cabbage, and Swiss chard. I take cinnamon daily, eat fresh plums when they are in season, and nearly overdose on blueberries when they are in season. However I don’t get much pumpkin and I never touch sardines. Tumeric is one of those spices that I own but rarely use.

How did you do on the list?
