We all know its just smart to stay away from most white foods such as sugar, bread, pasta and such. However, there are some white foods I call the Good Whites. White plants can produce healthy and healing foods that benefit out well being.
Horseradish is high in potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin C
Potatoes, the white ones do contain some nutritional value such as potassium, they're high in vitamin C and have phytochemicals like carotenoids that help us fight free radicals.
Macadamia Nuts contain protein, minerals such as calcium and iron. These nuts are also high in the good mono saturated fat.
Mushrooms, not only are they low in calories but they contain minerals such as potassium and selenium and vitamins B riboflavin and niacin.
White Onions contain quercetin which is a flavanol that is anti inflammatory, anti viral, and antioxidant.
White Beans are a great source of fiber and may aid in reducing LDL known as bad cholesterol.
Grab some of these tasty whites and whip up a healthful body friendly treat!
