Did you catch Tara Parker-Pope’s Health column in the New York Times on Monday of this week? She listed the “11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating,” according to Jonny Bowden, PhD, nutritionist and author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. With all the “best foods for you” lists out there, you’d think there wouldn’t be any surprises. But here are five that you might not know about:
- Turmeric (roots pictured above)- Dr. Bowden calls it the “superstar of spices.”
- Cinnamon
- Canned Pumpkin
- Frozen blueberries
- Pumpkin seeds
If you link to the column, be sure to read the comments posted by 673 readers (so far), which I found to be just as informative and entertaining too. Clearly, some people are weary of “authoritative but haphazard” lists of “miracle foods” but others contributed to the discussion and asked good questions that Dr. Bowden responded to.
