|  |  | September 23, 2009  In the supermarket, do you habitually reach for the same items, week after week? Try something new!
Make sure to look for these less well-known fruits in the produce department:
- Kumquat - a member of the citrus family that looks like a small, olive-shaped orange. A kumquat is eaten with the peel on, either uncooked or cooked.
- Longan - a small, round, cherry-sized fruit with a thick, nonedible brown shell. Inside, the white, juicy fruit, which surrounds a large black seed, is fragrant and sweet.
- Blood Orange - a tart, yet sweet orange with flesh that is either bright red or white with red streaks.
- Starfruit - has a unique shape that resembles stars when sliced. The flavor varies from sweet to tart. It might be eaten alone, in salads or as a garnish.
Break old habits, start new traditions - and still reach your goal of two cups of fruit each day.
Besides beets, carrots, potatoes, radishes and turnips, a lot of nourishing vegetables grow beneath the ground. Have you ever tried boniato, celeriac, jicama, malanga, salsify, sunchokes, taro or yucca?
All supply plenty of complex carbs and fiber, yet virtually no fat.
