Fruit, let’s move beyond the fructose controversy and call it delicious. It may not be the perfect choice for everyone and should NEVER replace vegetables, but enjoying some fruit every once and awhile is okay! Now, if the only fruits that have passed your lips in the past month are apples, bananas, and oranges – it’s definitely time to “upset your fruit basket”. And, there’s no time like now to get started! Why? December is National Exotic Fruit Month! Take a trip to the grocery store and check out some of the ‘crazy’, nutrient packed options that you’ve never heard of - let alone tasted. I’m not talking about switching from red apples to green apples here – get wild!! Every time you shop make it a goal to try a new fruit and while you’re at it throw in a vegetable that doesn’t start with ‘brocc’ and end with ‘oli’…
Throw a party for your taste buds with some of these options:
Vegetables:
Kohlrabi, arugula, jicama, rutabaga, diakon radish, delicata squash, okra, beets, turnips, mushrooms, artichoke, endive, asparagus, bok choy, yucca…
Fruits:
Kumquat, pummelo, star fruit, guava, ugli fruit, pomegranate, lychee, cherimoya, casaba melon, persimmon, figs, loganberries, jackfruit, kiwi, plantain, pineapple, blood oranges, mango, passion fruit…

Hi Amy, I just 'found' you through your article on Rob Wolf's blog. I came over here to get more information on you. I also live in SD and I also graduated from CSU with a masters degree, but in Exercise Sport Science. Loren Cordain was one of my professors, but this was 20 years ago and he was not teaching Paleo principles to his students at that time. I am new to the Paleo way, but I am a believer. I have celiac and a host of autoimmune disorders. I had been on a gluten-free diet for about 6 years with no improvement, when I learned about SCD and GAPs. These led me to someone in the Paleo world and now I am trying to learn all I can. Do you ever have speaking engagements west river? I would love to come.
ReplyDeleteHi, just found your blog, very good stuff! I have been transitioning to a paleo diet for the last 6 months (quietly, haha, still experimenting!), and I am currently a dietetics student!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, I love trying new veggies! The fruits though...my partner used to be allergic to most fruits (skin rashes, eczema), so he still finds most of them too strong flavoured! It seems crazy, but he is so grossed out by mangos, pineapple, oranges...he will only eat bananas and apples. Sometimes I add mangoes to our curry or pineapple to salads, and he hasn't noticed so far!
Amy,
ReplyDeleteI love your information. I'm actualy looking to start a family health camp and part of the program is food/nutrition education. I wanted to talk to you about designing a prgram for kids and families and what that may look like. I've left a ton of details out but I'd love to chat with you, please email me if you can or are interested: ankit@theleanwayconsulting.com
Hi Amy, I just clicked through from Robb Wolfs blog.. waiting for some website pics to copy to the server and um... surfing the net.
ReplyDeleteI have a garden that has gone completely nuts with BEETS at the mo. I don't even know what to do with a beet except grate it into a salad. I shall consult Dr Google and see what I can find.
Amy, I understand that jicama is a tuberculous and it has a lot of starch in it. Is that right?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your interview on the Training Bible podcast. In the program, you mentioned something about avoiding potato skins. Does that go for sweet potatoes too? Should I peel off sweet potato skin before consuming? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have never read such Nike Free 3.0 V2 Womens Leather a excellent article and I am coming back tomorrow to continue reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm real confused, I've read your older posts and thinking about what we are told to eat, there's some conflicting evidence from both sides about grains. I'm siding more with you, is it a bad thing to go in moderations? I'm not into wheat so much as like bulgar and couscous, rye, barley, and I eat flax. Am I defeating any purpose there?
ReplyDeleteAmy, I was wondering if you had read the article in the NY Times about Cavemen surviving on Tiger Nuts:

Hello there, just found your blog, very good stuff! I have been transitioning to a paleo diet the past 6 months (quietly, haha, nonetheless experimenting! ), and I are currently a dietetics student!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, I love attempting new veggies! The fruits however... my partner used to be allergic to many fruits (skin rashes, eczema), so he still finds most too strong flavoured! It would seem crazy, but he is so grossed out by mangos, pineapple, grapefruits... he will only eat plums and apples. Sometimes I add mangoes to our curry or pineapple to salads, and he hasn't noticed so far!

I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.

I did even bother about it, so when I got to the hospital the next week when i was ill the doctor told me that I am HIV positive, i wondered where did i got it from so i remembered how I use my friend blade to cut off my hand so i feel so sad in my heart to the extent that i don’t even know what to do, so one day i was passing through the internet i met a testimony of a lady that all talk about how she was cured by a doctor called DR Imoloa so i quickly emailed the doctor and he also replied to me and told me the requirements which i will provide and I do according to his command, he prepare a herbal medicine for me which I took.
