    Double Dragon green tea with some sweetener, beautiful.

    Crispy seaweed with delicious spices such as seafood flavourings or hot chilli spices. They are delicious on their on but you can put them in salads instead of croutons or crackers. Unfortunately I can only find them in central London when I go to china town or in Wing Yip.

    I saw organic in my local Woollies the other day, but had no idea what to do with it, or what it tasted like. Seemed a lot of money to spend if I hated it. What does it resemble in taste?

    Dried apricots. I carry a baggie of them in my purse. They can really quell your hunger and your craving for something sweet. You don't need to eat more than 6.

    Almond flour. I'm on a reduced carb nutrition plan and have used it to make awesome pancakes and muffins that my kids enjoy too. My kids are limited in carbs. They just enjoy them.

    I can't edit my post? Anyway, my kids AREN'T limited in carbs... whew! Haha! OOPS! :blushing:

    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 :)

    I still need to try his. A personal trainer to.ldb me coconut oil is good... going to get hold of some!

    omggg I LOVE rocket (also known as arugala in the US). I have no idea what makes it so good, but I can literally eat it by the bag with a little balsamic vinegar and salmon... or even by itself. Yum.

    chia seeds. throw them in yogurt, oatmeal, cottage cheese--they add a nice little bump of fiber and protein and some good texture!

    i really want to try making chia seed pudding--if you let the seeds sit in liquid (in this case i would try almond milk) for around 30 min, they gain a tapioca-like consistency.

    Unprocessed (Real) food. It's amazing how much better I feel eating this stuff. I did not realize that life could exist without cereal, peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches, pasta, potato chips, soda, etc.

    To me the flavor of spices to accent food with out the salt weighing it down. I am experiencing the real flavor of health food.
