GOODNESS
Chipotle:
These are dried and smoked versions of jalapeno peppers, and add a wonderful flavor to Mexican or
South American dishes. Or barbecues, for that matter. They can have a wide range of heat, so be
careful and taste as you go. It's easy to add more chipotle -- it's hard to take them out. |
Garlic:
Garlic is in the same family as onions and leeks, and purportedly provided ancient Roman soldiers the courage to battle the barbarians.
Whether or not it gives you courage, it is known to lower blood pressure, which is great for your heart and helps prevent stroke.
In addition, it has a long history as a digestive aid, so don't be shy with this wonderful herb, no matter what it does to your breath!

Ginger:
This spicy root is known as the universal remedy. Although it's well-known as a stomach soother, it also improves circulation, fights tumors, reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system. Oh, and it's good for pain and a fever. The only possible drawbacks are for people with gallstones or those on blood thinners.
