    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.

    I regularly consume Organic Moringa Leaf Powder

    Organic Moringa Leaf Powder from Natural Health is what is says it is. It is from the foothills of the Himalaya's. It is organic, pure in quality and fresh and it is fantastic for your body. I highly recommend buying it from The Natural Health Market. It is promptly delivered and comes in good packaging.

    Tea bags

    I always order from Natural Health Market, as they are the only company I have found where the tea bags don’t leak while steeping. The tea taste so good as well. I am well stocked up with Tumeric, Hibiscus, Peppermint, and Ginger. I don’t have caffeine so good to order from same place when needed. I wonder if you could source Dandelion teabags as well!

    Excellent product

    I ordered wheat grass as I'd read that it was beneficial for the mouth and teeth. I use a little, dissolved in water, as a mouth rinse, and also drink a small amount. I have been very pleased with this product and love that it is so pure and free from chemicals.
    Ordering was easy and delivery quick. Very happy 😊.

    Organic moringa capsules

    These capsules are fantastic., I’ve tried other makes but none like your, truthfully. I am a Type 1 Diabetic and to my surprise these capsules (within 2 wks of taking) lowered my blood glucose levels substantially. Try them and see for yourselves, I now wouldn’t be without them.

    Peppermint Teabags

    Organic tea with a delightful, refreshing flavour in a bag which is plastic free and biodegradable, who could ask for more. There is more though. The tea quickly soothes indigestion as well as being refreshing. Ordering is easy on the attractive and informative website and delivery is speedy.

    Herbs for birds

    We give many herbs and spices to our rescue pigeons and exotic birds. We believe that birds can know what herbs they need, for immunity, as a natural wormer and many others health issues to keep them hopefully healthy so that we have to use chemicals less often.
