7 Trendy Foods READY TO HAVE FUN with nutritious foods that have flown under the radar? Business Insider recently reported on seven foods that pack loads of taste and nutrition.
7. Arctic Char
Along with Branzino and Barramundi, Arctic Char will be appearing on more menus in 2014. A mild fish that’s related to salmon and trout, Arctic Char is primarily farmed and has been named a “best choice” for the environment by SeaFood Watch.
1. Cauliflower
Food trend experts have dubbed cauliflower “the new kale” – low in calories and fat, high in protein and fiber. Be bold – try the orange variety which has 25 times more vitamin A than the traditional white. You can roast it, sauté it or mash it. It’s even wonderful eaten raw.
2. Swiss Chard
A thick-ribbed vegetable with a slightly bitter taste, Swiss chard is high in vitamin C, iron and calcium. Cook it like you would any other leafy green vegetable – it’s a quick side dish when sautéed in olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper.

great-grandfather wouldn’t recognize as food.” ...Michael Pollen
3. Ancient Grains
Grains such as millet, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, freekeh and teff have been cultivated for at least 1,000 years. Some are gluten-free and all are delicious.
4. Mangosteen
Rich in antioxidants, this Southeast Asia native has a thick, red-purple rind and sweet, juicy white flesh on the inside. Tear off the rind and eat the white segments or puree the flesh and the rind into a healthy juice.
5. Coconut
A survey of dieticians predicts that coconut oil, long prized for being cholesterol and trans-fat free, will continue to be valued for its health benefits including improved brain function and weight loss.
6. Kimchi
A staple in Korea, this pickled cabbage dish is gaining new devotees in the US as part of a growing trend toward consuming fermented foods.
