What is the healthiest food/dish/fruit/vegetable on earth?

[Quixote1818]

I have heard Wheatgrass juice is extremely healthy. Can wheatgrass be topped?

[Ladyhawk]

1. I've heard alfalfa has practically every known vitamin.

Can someone verify that?

It has to be good for you. It tastes like dirt. :)

5. I've heard the same thing.

Every book about herbs and natural medicine always states that the two things you should add to your diet for almost every ailment are alfalfa and garlic.

2. Butter

4. Awesome!!! I love butter and lard!

:bounce:

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Breadfruit should be up there. Taro, too. But, since you added "dish"

to your list, then I would say a dish of homemade chicken soup with noodles and some veggies.

[Quixote1818]

7. Chicken soup with veggies? Really?

Thats good to know.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I almost always put some veggies in my chicken soup

like some carrots and peas, generally onions and celery, every now and again some other stuff. Maybe corn.

[Quixote1818]

9. I am just surprised it would be so healthy

I am glad to hear that because I often make Chicken soup with vegetables. How come canned vegetables don't have any vitamins?

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. The vitamans get leached out in all the processing of the veggies

Frozen or fresh are the only viable options.

I don't buy canned vegetables at all, except the occasional can of canned tomatoes.


And while I'm no nutritionist, there's a reason that chicken soup is called New York Penicillin. I think you could live on it for a long time.

21. Canned tomatoes are the only canned veggies I buy too. They are one of

the only veggies that retain their nutrition fairly well through canning. In fact the lycopene in cooked tomatoes is higher than in raw. So even if the tomatoes lose some during canning, they probably have as much lycopene as raw tomatoes.

Oh and the Muir Glen organic fire-roasted tomatoes are AMAZING. So smoky and delicious. They make great chili.

6. Kiwi?

I once heard kiwi was one of the healthiest foods. And, I'd much rather eat kiwi than wheatgrass juice. :p

[flvegan]

11. The soybean.

I won't sell it here. Just look it up.

[NMMNG]

13. I'd have to second that

Just read it again the other day.

[NMMNG]

14. Dupe

[tjwmason]

12. No one food.

Healthiness can only exist within the context of a diet. By gaining a balance of the different nutrients which one's body needs one is eating healthy food.

[SOteric]

15. Mother's Milk.

[LynneSin]

16. BEER

Don't you feel healthier just looking at that guinness!

[henslee]

17. blue green algae from klamath lake.

[China_cat]

18. Durian

[Sannum]

19. From the fields of Columbia

:silly:

[Texasgal]

20. Pommagranite...

Did I spell that right?

Anyway, I hear that pomms are one of the most healthy fruits out there!

[Quixote1818]

22. Someone should put together a cook book with the 50 healthiest

dishes. I would buy such a cook book and I am a very unhealthy eating bachelor who rarely cooks looking to change my eating habits.

[Auntie Bush]

24. Well what are you waiting for?We need every Clark supporter out there.

[wildhorses]

27. Hemp seed

Another reason that cannabis should be legalized.
Aside from that, most nutritionists agree that people who eat a variety of foods are getting the most nutritious diet.

[LeftyMom]

28. Hemp is really good for a body

I *heart* hemp waffles.
