Super Foods Are Often Delicious And Always Loaded with Nutrients

 

Charlie Sue is charming, a very social Patterdale Terrier.


Charlie Sue and I have lunch together every day. I include one sausage each time, sliced, and she gets roughly half.

Below are super foods that have the highest ratings for their nutrients. Fuhrman and Greger deal with them through their books. For instant nutritional source, use Healthline Nutrition - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition - and add the  fruits and vegetables.

Kale beats them all - Greger. 

Other good chopped greens are Turnip Greens and Collards.

Chopped spinach is very good, and I am add Baby Spinach leaves for supper, with fruit.

Blueberries are low sugar, free of seeds, and very highly rated.

Walnuts (as proven by me) lower cholesterol. A handful makes a good supper with spinach, very satisfying and packed with nutrition.

Beans are high in protein and fiber, both essential. I use a can of low salt Cicero Beans (chick peas) and add Lima beans to the stew. Peas are also very good. Canned legumes can be very high in salt, especially in the can. Not all are. Bring your reading glasses for the figures. 

Rainbow vegetables include green and red peppers, tomato paste, onions in various forms, etc. These have a broad range of those elements still being discovered by scientists.

People cheer about broccoli so much that I am including it in the stew.

Basics for one stew at lunch - Greens, walnuts, blueberries, lima beans, ground flax, peppers and onions, Cicero beans.
