Mine's quinoa, not very highly reconised in Australia yet but I have FINALLY found organic versions of white, black and red quinoa!
I replace it for rice, use it in salads and am currently experimenting with a sweet version with fruit
It's a fantastic source of protein, all 8 essential amino acids, fibre, is gluten free for those with wheat intolerances and fills me up

Love quinoa!!
I just discovered cocoa nibs! (sometimes called caoca nibs) They are from the unsweetened, unprocessed cocoa bean. Tastes like unsweetened dark chocolate (my fav). They are a superfood and are crazy good for you as an antioxidant to clean your blood and arteries and is a natural mood elevator/antidepressant.
You can use them in anything!
I snack on them with dried currants and unsweetened coconut when I need a sweet fix.0 -

I haven't really discovered new foods, but I've rediscovered some old favorites like quinoa, jicama, black beans (they are so versatile!), snow peas/green peppers with low fat ranch, oat flour instead of wheat, oranges, graham cracker/frozen low fat whipped topping sandwiches, chocolate soy milk... I couldn't eat a lot of these things before because my stomach was torn to pieces with processed food and I would wake up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain. Now, my stomach is back to showroom new, so I can re-experience these wonderful things. I think I'm going to try flax seed again soon. Last time I ate that, I was literally convinced I had stomach cancer because it hurt so bad.0

Goat cheese. I always avoided it because well... it sounded gross (no offense to goats - ha!), but it is super delicious in spinach and strawberry salad.0
