Dr. Oz highlighted five healthy ingredients from around the globe.
Chapulines
Chapulines is the Mexican word for grasshoppers. Hear us out: This great source of protein is better for the environment than meat and you can buy them pre-roasted for these delicious tacos.
Quinoa
Quinoa is one of the healthiest whole grains and nearly a complete protein because it contains all nine essential acids. Try it in this salad with purple potatoes, another Peruvian native.
Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts are a good source of antioxidants, but eating them in a chocolate spread doesn't quite cut it. For the most benefit, eat whole roasted nuts with the antioxidant-dense skin. And you can still keep the chocolate.
Lentils
Lentils are a plant-based protein and an excellent source of iron, which is especially important for teens and pregnant women. In this recipe, they're paired with anti-inflammatory turmeric and mustard seeds.
Snow Pea Leaves
These leaves, shoots or tendrils taste like a cross between baby spinach and peas. They're packed with phytonutrients that promote healthy gut bacteria and are anti-inflammatory.
