How about some garlic or onions, leeks and shallots?  Yum, I know.  Not exactly the picture of fiber and phytochemicals like berries. They are vegetables though and for a diet you couldn’t do any worse than to include super foods that help protect your body from disease and offer a boost to your immune system.

The research isn’t totally in on garlic but there has been talk that it is good for your cholesterol too.  Whether that’s the case or not, since it is a plant I’d bet it is worth a shot to consider it over less natural forms of flavor. 

Be adventurous and try leeks.  They are mild and great in many recipes, particularly Greek recipes.  Keep onions and shallots on hand for soups and salads.  You’ll use less dressing in a salad if you combine the right elements for flavor.

Well, it is wet and windy, so I’m thinking of some soup now.  Have a great weekend.
