Some 'new' foods...

Been looking around again and working out lifestyle choices trying to set some personal food boundaries ... trying to sever all junk food and work towards a superior diet.

QUINOA - A sacred food originates in the Ancient Inca diet called 'chisaya mama' (mother of all grains). Not actually a grain, but related to leafy greens (spinach and Swiss Chard), it's packed with protein - all nine essential amino acids ... chewy, crunchy and Gluten free.

KOMBUCHA - a fermented culture of yeast and bacteria mixed with black tea and sugar! Great tasting but tart drink that energizes and detoxifies, balances internal pH and curbs the appetite.
[PS - Not too sure about this stuff!]

HEMP MILK - most potent source and highest content of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) ... rich in calcium,amino acids B vitamins and fiber.

AGAVE NECTAR - natural sweetener 75% stronger than sugar from the agave plant ( Tequila).

[Check out Wikipedia for reference to these foods]

ENJOY!
(I will add more as I discover them!)
