The market is overflowing with imported products, famous as extremely useful foods. According to nutritionists, however, local fruits and vegetables have a much more beneficial effect on our body than foreign ones.
That is why many have found the equivalent of so-called superfoods and are happy to eat them. In this way, they not only support the home economy, but also manage to save money. Here are some of the Bulgarian products replacing the praised foreign goods:
Millet replaces quinoa
Almost the same amount of fiber and protein can be found in millet as in quinoa. At the same time, millet is significantly cheaper than this exotic crop, which grows mainly in the Andes. In addition, it is widespread in our country, while quinoa can be found most often in specialty stores.
Rose hips replace goji berry
Goji berry is known for its large amounts of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and potassium, but rose hips definitely manage to stand out from this imported and expensive food with its large amount of vitamin C. Thanks to its rich composition, rose hips help with pneumonia, urinary problems pathways, anemia, uterine bleeding, etc.
Nettle, purslane and yeast replace spirulina
As more imported superfoods, the algae spirulina is not in everyone's pocket, and is also available only in certain stores. Nettle, purslane and yeast, in turn, can be found in any garden or lawn.
Each of these three plants can easily replace spirulina, as it is a source of manganese, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc. The other valuable quality of these leafy vegetables is that they have a far more pleasant taste than powdered seaweed.
Beans replace edamame
The small green beans, known as edamame, are typical of Japanese cuisine, but have recently been found in limited places in Bulgaria. However, as you can guess, their price is not low at all.
The composition of edamame makes it a great food product for people struggling with excess weight, as well as for people with thyroid problems. But the same can be said for beans, and it is much more accessible than exotic culture.
