    If you do hate eating green vegetables you are not on your own. Some of us don't like veg while we are young and some never do. Why is this?

    Well, believe it or not, there is an excellent explanation; this can certainly go some way to explaining why we all fall in love with different foods.

    Are You A Supertaster  or A Undertaster?

    We don't all have the same amount of taste buds in our mouth, meaning that taste is a very individual experience. Roughly 50% of people have one of the two conditions; meaning they taste things very differently.

    Supertasters

    are people who have more densely concentrated taste buds in the mouth, meaning they experience much intenser flavours than the average person.

    Undertasters

    as you would expect to have much fewer taste buds in their mouths than the average 'Joe', and therefore experience much less flavour in the things they consume.

    Test Yourself

    Their is a way to check if you fall into on group or the other, if you put 'Sweetners' or Sweet'N Low into half a glass of water and drink it, if you find it bitter you're a supertaster, sweet and you're an under tester, if you get both you're normal, so they say...

    So how does this equate to vegetables? Well, it mainly affects supertasters, as they find vegetables to be bitter and unsavoury, its these supertasters that have a harder time falling in love with vegetables.

    There isn't anything that can be done apart from adjusting the methods you use to cook vegetables. Supertasters usually struggle to hit their recommended five a day fresh fruit and vegetables servings.

    If you're a supertaster then its good to be aware of the fact, and make sure you take vitamin, mineral and nutrition supplements, some superfoods and organic supplements can be as good if not better than eating fresh.

    But either way make sure you get your 5-7 fruit and veg servings a day, it's not a get out of jail free card, just because your taste buds are different, you still need the same nutrition as everyone else for your body to function properly.

    Great quality!

    This cacao is very good, it tastes like the best, and I've tried a few. It comes from a good source and is such good value, I can highly recommend it. I don't cook with it, as I don't want to destroy the polyphenols.

    Daily detox tea

    We have been buying this for years. We are big coffee in the morning people. However, we now enjoy this tea as a nice alternative. We haven't given up coffee but have definitely reduced how many morning coffees we have.

    Chamomile tea

    This is the first time we have ordered this tea. We have never liked chamomile tea before but after seeing some reviews, we decided to give it a go. We are so glad we did. It's a lovely tea. A lovely appley flavour. We will definitely be ordering again.

    Delicious and tastes very ‘clean’

    Definitely recommend, I mix it with my overnights oats almost every morning. Goes very well with fruit like blueberries or pretty much any other fruit to be honest

    Part of our everyday routine

    Bee pollen has become a part of our everyday routine. Since we started giving it to our son, in particular (who is slightly anaemic, which runs in my family), his health has completely changed. He is so much healthier now. I give it to all my children and take it myself.

    The kids love the taste so much, we have to keep it on the highest shelf otherwise they will fill a bowl with it!

    The latest batch that we bought is the most delicious yet. We're wondering if the bees were parking of some lavender. Whatever it is, it's amazing. It was out of stock for a little while and I had to keep checking the website as my children were asking for it.

    Milk thistle

    Purchased milk thistle from this company. I have used this for many years but I have to say this is the most effective I have used from Health Market. Would definitely recommend. It contains no fillers only natural extract. Will definitely purchase again.

    Organic Macca Capsules

    I was recommended Macca after having had a hysterectomy, I have been taking this supplement for almost 6 years. I feel it’s balanced my hormones, helped with women’s health, particularly in areas most required. I have 2 capsules per day & wouldn’t be without it.
    If you’re unsure, give it a try, I find The Natural Health Market helpful and reliable, thank you.

    Organic Gino berries

    I had been reading about the benefits of goji berries so decided to buy from NHM, delivery was quick, and compared to supermarket prices they are good value for money as you can buy different size bags to suit your needs. Resealable bag help to keep the berries fresh too ! I use them with my breakfast cereal and for snacking. I will purchase them again.
