Default Re: Foods You Should Be Eating, But Aren't

Just started the South Beach diet which is Mediterranean. We only have grass fed beef here, lots of coconuts and we eat blueberries regularly. Love broccoli too and also eat Alaska salmon. I buy it in the cans and make a spread out of it much like tuna fish salad.

We are putting in our aquaponics garden and will have nutrient fresh fruits and veggies soon. We also planted an orchard of oranges, mango, papaya, apple, pear, plum, avacado, coffee, banana, loquat, lemon, lime, lychee, tangerine trees as a start toward more self-sufficiency. Next is getting some nut and bread fruit trees. Taro grows really well here and the root is very healthful. I also have the purple sweet potatoes in the ground and a very nice pineapple patch. The only problem with many of the trees is that they are still young and not producing yet.

The aquaponics system will also provide fish and shrimp. Power foods are pumpkin, spinach, blue berries, salmon, oats, almonds, red bell peppers among a few. Our chickens provide fresh eggs. All we are missing is the cow.
