#historicalfoodfact Contrary to its name, swiss chard did not originate, nor is it native to Switzerland! It’s believed to have originated in Mediterranean Europe but was given its scientific name by a Swiss botanist. #nutrivore

#DidYouKnow The most expensive coffee beans in the world are from coffee berries eaten by animals (Asian palm civet or elephants). The beans are partially digested by the animals before being harvested from their feces – selling anywhere from or $30 to $90 a cup! Now that’s an expensive habit!

#historicalfoodfact The olive tree, Olea europaea, is native to the Mediterranean Basin, with fossil evidence indicating that it originated 20 to 40 million years ago! It was first cultivated roughly 7,000 years ago and as far back as 3,000 BC was grown commercially in Crete. #nutrivore

#DidYouKnow While approximately 90% of harvested olives are turned into oil (almost “olive” them!), 10% are reserved for consumption (known as table olives). Raw olives are naturally very bitter, which is why they are typically cured using a variety of methods before they are consumed. #nutrivore

Americans put cheese on everything, but it is synonymous with cheese burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, nachos and above all – pizza. While these may not be the most healthful combinations, independently cheese can provide a lot of “grate” nutrition! #CheeseWar

Yes! Isothiocyanates are so cool! Isothiocyanates express antimicrobial activity against a number of bacterial and fungal pathogens! They’ve been shown to modulate the expression and activity of enzymes involved in metabolizing and eliminating carcinogens.

Isothiocyanates are responsible for the bitter, hot & pungent flavours.

Generally, the more a food is manipulated to make it shelf-stable, convenient, cheap, and addictively delicious, the fewer valuable nutrients remain in that food. #nutrivore https://youtu.be/ayZtps6wF...

While some ultra-processed foods can absolutely fit into a Nutrivore template, it can be challenging to switch to a whole-foods focused diet while continuing...

#nutrivorequickfact Fish broth is rich in EPA+DHA, V B3, copper, V B12 , and protein. It has the added bonus of cooking in a fraction of the time compared to mammalian bone broth (3 to 4 hours versus 24 to 48 hours on the stove top), plus fish bones are some of the cheapest available! #nutrivore
