I would think if you eat something 3 times a month or more that would be regular…. I counted 19 but included only myself when thinking about it. My husband and daughter would be a bit less especially since our daughter went vegetarian 4.5 months ago.

I just picked up barley and quinoa today! These are two we have not tried but I am excited to cook with them.

In reply to Barb Friedberg. I agree, Barb; I love barley in beef barley soup but that's about the only time I have it. Pumpkin is good in muffins but I seem to think of it as an autumn thing. I agree with you about milk, too!

In reply to Annies Jones.

We buy frozen edamame and make it fairly often, just steamed in the microwave with a sprinkling of sea salt. I’m just guessing, but I bet collards are as healthy as kale — full of all those vitamins and antioxidants…

In reply to Rosemary Carstens. I remember reading somewhere that you can get some great trace minerals by eating a wide variety in your diet -- so it's time to eat some of those offbeat grains you mention. I'll have to work my way up to sardines! :-)

I too wonder what regularly means… I eat at least 10 a few times a month or week. Some are seasonal…so can’t eat regularly year round… I should definitely work on trying to add maybe 5 a month into my diet.

I probably eat about 1/3 of these items on a regular basis. I’m glad to see that oatmeal was on there, as I usually eat that for breakfast most weekdays. But I notice that fish is on this list and I just don’t eat much fish, or lentils, or edame. I guess I need to start going back and shopping at Trader Joes for some of these items. ;)

Hi Eliza, I’m at about 60%. I don’t like barley and I’ve cut back on nuts a bit recently, but I should stick them back on the list. I never eat pumpkin. (except pie:) Love Kale, sweet potatoes and I went back up to 1% because it’s better than non fat milk. Good ideas for some new ingredients!
