Superfruits may get lots of attention. But we shouldn’t forget the everyday food that’s also good for you. Here’s my partial list:

1. Potatoes
2. Corns
3. Peas
4. Button mushrooms

These are the organic Russet potatoes. Potatoes are also packed with vitamins B6 and C, potassium and fiber. My favorite kind is theYukon variety.

I like adding chunks of it to curry. Potatoes are really simple and easy to prepare.

An alternative way to enjoy French fries is to simply slice the potatoes into strips, then marinate with olive oil, sprinkle some black pepper, and add a pinch of Himalayan salt.  Instead of frying, just bake them until it’s golden and ready to eat.

On the same note as root vegetables, I am happy to find out that sweet potatoes are unlikely to be contaminated with pesticides. They are packed with Vitamin A and beta carotene. I like to prepare them the same way as my potatoes. But they are also good as tempura. That version you just can’t eat too often as they are very fattening!
