Surprisingly Edible (and healthy) Parts Of Foods

there are some surprisingly healthy parts of foods that we're just simply not eating so let's take a look at the parts of foods that you may have been throwing away and not eating unnecessarily and stick around to the end of the video to see one food that you should never eat strawberries are one of my favorite foods but as it turns out there's a whole lot of health benefits you can miss by avoiding the stems throw the entire berry into your smoothie as the stems are rich in disease-fighting polyphenols and minerals they also contain tannins that have low ph levels and can actually help with digestion zest doesn't just mean great enthusiasm and energy but it's also the outer covering of citrus fruit and happens to be rich in terpenes that actually give our bodies some protection from cancer cells and aging from oxidation and it's not just the peel but the pith the white part around the flesh it contains hesperidin a phytonutrient that has been shown to lower blood cholesterol reduce blood pressure and decrease inflammation outermost part of onions no the onion won't suck toxins out of your feet give me the claims hit me with them it will clean your blood god why am i so angry but you can boost nutrition of your soup stews and rice using onion skins they're rich in quercetin a flavonoid that has anti-inflammatory anti-cancer anti-allergy exercise improvement grain protective properties just to name a few do aim for the red over yellow onions to get more of that quercetin boost praised by the liver king himself liver is known as nature's multivitamin as it's one of the most nutrient dense foods it's incredibly high in vitamin a in the form of retinol which is the already active form it's a great low calorie high protein food but again make sure you're watching your saturated fat and cholesterol intake broccoli and cauliflower stalks fun fact did you know broccoli's actually a flower it's easy to look and think that the green leaves are the only nutritious part of the veggie but in reality the stems contain healthy amounts of antioxidants and fiber just like the leaves the sulforaphane found in the stems and leaves actually has potential as a cancer fighting compound watermelon is more than the perfect summertime snack because while the bright red center is delicious the rinds are useful as well pickled watermelon rinds are filled with citrulline an amino acid that helps relax and dilate arteries which can be good for your blood pressure workouts and even sex and it has more fiber and potassium than the actual inside of the watermelon eat your heart out might not just be an old saying after all as beef heart has a similar texture and a taste to a fine steak yet it's inexpensive probably because folks are hesitant to eat it but it's actually a lean piece of meat with a low saturated fat content in comparison to other meats it is considered a high cholesterol food so be wary carrot tops no i'm not talking about him i'm talking about them remember the orange part is actually the root of the vegetable and the green leafy portion which can be tossed in a salad added to a salsa or a hummus have six times the vitamin a as compared to the orange part pineapple cores might sound kind of off-putting but hear me out here the entire pineapple core included is a solid source of bromoline a protein-digesting enzyme that has shown to have incredible medical potential from anti-inflammatory effects to helping with fungal and bacterial infections it is a little less sweet and firmer but if eaten raw it still packs the same nutritious punch as the rest of the pineapple flesh there's nothing tongue-in-cheek about tongue or veal tongue anyway while it may have a high cholesterol content it is rich in zinc iron and vitamin b12 both iron and vitamin b12 help replenish nutrients that are low when you're anemic while zinc is an important nutrient to keep your immune system in tip-top shape especially during a pandemic turns out banana peels are useful for more than just mario kart eating a banana whole seems rather untasty but the peel does become thinner and sweeter as it ripens so maybe you can wait a few days for the banana peel to develop some spots bananas are known for their high potassium content with a fruit averaging about 400 milligrams the peel contains an additional almost 80 milligrams of potassium plus plenty of filling fiber banana bread actually became such a huge hit during the pandemic and a simple way to start using those peels is just to throw them into the banana bread for a boost of fiber care about your eyesight then you're going to want to hear this beet greens contain two phytonutrients lutein and zeaxanthin which have been shown to protect against age-related eye problems one study actually found that people who ate foods rich in them were half as likely to get cataracts if you're chopping the leaves from this veggie then you're tossing away more iron per serving than spinach cucumber peels are yummy healthy and worth their weight in gold okay maybe not that last part but the first two are true sadly when you peel a cucumber you're lowering the vitamin k content by about 56 than if you were to eat it whole and vitamin k supports bone health and blood clotting just be sure to wash it well to remove the wax coating that's often applied to prevent bruising during transport and if possible aim for the organic sort to reduce possible pesticide contamination full kiwis including the kiwi skin have become one of my go-to late-night snacks do you scoop out the inside with the spoon well you're missing out you can triple the fiber intake when you eat the entire kiwi just make sure that you wash it well and possibly go for the organic kind to cut down on possible pesticide exposure while it might make you sick to your stomach to think about an animal stomach shouldn't tripe refers to the edible muscle walls of the stomachs of animals like cows buffalo and sheep who have multiple compartments in their stomachs tripe is low in calories yet rich in protein vitamin b12 and the minerals zinc and selenium the one food that you should never eat although if you swallow one hole i guess it's not that big of a deal cherry pits inside of them if they are crushed there is a compound known as prussic acid which is essentially cyanide so do not chew on cherry pits spit them out thank you why are people's hands always cold i answer that question and so many more on the streets in la watch this cause i miss human interaction click there as always stay happy and healthy i'll see you in this video see it click it watch people make fun of me they do why
