Anyone into trying new foods? reading that somethings healthy and trying it out?

Like pomegranate juice, I've been drinking for about 7 years now, I love it. good stuff. After that I got into Brazilian Açaí, great energy source.

Now Manuka Honey, I've been reading about it for a few years, couldnt get my hands on it until I moved up here to Toronto, this guy in the city imports it from New Zealand. Oh and it works great on cuts and burns...like seriously good.

Of course it's used in some parts of the world as a dressing for wounds. Some major hospitals are starting to use it here in North America (so I've read)

and of course, Black Seed Oil. That's the one that i'm most impressed by.

    Interesting.

    Which store in Toronto do you shop at?

    I could always use another location to check out.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I get the black seed oil online, manuka honey at the St. Lawrence Market in downtown. Acai and pom juice Dominions sells. Oh and the bee venom, I just let bee's sting me. :D Of course i'm not serious about the last one.

    Yeah for sure, it's very good for you. Has fibre, rich in nutrients (Vitamin A Vitamin C, calicium), good for the heart.

    I just can't eat it that often. Not sure what to make with it.

    Cant forget the coconut, its the king. Parsley is a preventative herb, eating it can prevent sickness. Kiwi has more vitamin C than oranges.
    Pirates had democracy too.

    wheat grass! Of course, I forgot about that one. I juiced my own back in the late 90's. I kinda miss that. Grew my own, juiced it fresh.
