6 Healthy Foods We Don't Eat Often.

Shrimp:

Dried shrimp are more nutritious than large shrimp, but both are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, with lower saturated fat content. How to eat: When cooking shrimp, either eat them plain or add tomato sauce or black pepper to best bring out their delicious flavor.

Kiwi:

Kiwifruit is exceptionally high in vitamin C—two kiwis contain more vitamin C than one orange, and they are also rich in potassium and dietary fiber. How to eat: Kiwi skin is thin and can be peeled with a peeler or knife. The flesh can be sliced and eaten, or scooped out after cutting the fruit in half. If used in a fruit salad, adding kiwi flesh can add a pop of green and make it look more special.

Pomegranate:

Pomegranates have very strong antioxidant capabilities and are rich in anthocyanins. The large amount of polyphenols and flavonoids in the fruit can protect the heart and reduce inflammation. Pomegranates are also a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. How to eat: Eating a pomegranate requires a specific method. First, cut off the crown. Then, score the skin and soak it in cold water for about five minutes—while in the water, break the fruit apart and let the seeds sink to the bottom of the bowl. Finally, strain out the seeds, rinse them with cold water, and they are ready to eat.

Cauliflower:

Cauliflower is rich in vitamin K, which enhances blood clotting, and is also a source of antioxidant vitamins A and C, as well as plant-based calcium. How to eat: Wash it in cold water before eating, cut off the tough stem, and it can be steamed, boiled, or stir-fried.

Edamame:

It is an important source of plant-based protein and also provides phytoestrogens and fiber. Half a cup of shelled edamame contains 120 calories and makes a great snack. How to eat: First, steam them, then place them in salted water and heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. By then, the beans will have separated from the pods, and you can enjoy them.

Whole Wheat Flour:

This flour is rich in dietary fiber and is naturally chewy, so eating a small amount can make you feel full. It's even better if it's enriched. How to eat: Foods made with whole wheat flour need to be cooked a bit longer. These foods are more aromatic than those made with regular flour and can be made into noodles to be mixed with sausage, cooked vegetables, and seasonings.
