Mustard Seeds

But it may surprise you to find out that inside your cupboards are gems superfoods you'd never suspect are really health foods. 

• Mustard believe it or not, is a medicinal paste made from the seed of the mustard plant. It's a Superfood that's been around for at least 5,000 years, and it's one of the few common sources of selenium, a trace mineral often low in our soils.   Mustard is known to help in reducing migraines, and it's a natural anti-fungal and antiseptic. 

• Coleslaw is made out of one of the most powerful natural medicines in the food kingdom: Raw cabbage.  Raw cabbage is a proven cure for stomach ulcers. Throughout the history of the civilized world, cabbage has been one of the most medicinal foods ever consumed. It's also good for you when cooked (cabbage soup) or fermented (sauerkraut).  Cabbage is rich in indole-3-carbinol (I3C), one of its many anti-cancer nutrients. 

• Raisins may not sound super cool, but if you think about what they really are, it becomes obvious how powerful they can be as natural medicine. Raisins are dried grapes, of course, meaning they contain all the natural medicine of grape skins.    It's best to buy only organic raisins, because grapes sprayed with fungicides have low levels of resveratrol. Organic grapes have high levels of antioxidants and resveratrol.
