		<description><![CDATA[
Cabbage is a very underrated vegetable. It&#8217;s been ranked one of the 10 best foods you aren&#8217;t eating. It&#8217;s packed with vitamins, iron and calcium and it&#8217;s been shown to help fight cancer.
For cabbage novices, a head of this slightly bitter stuff might seem a bit overwhelming, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. [...]]]></description>

You may think of peanut butter as more of a childhood staple, but it&#8217;s also a great source of protein for adults.
Surprisingly, it may also be a great for weight control: one study found that peanut eaters tend not to overeat their daily calories. As a source of antioxidants, peanuts- according to recent studies- may [...]]]></description>

Fourteen years ago, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).  Doctors told me that there was nothing they could do to help ease my discomfort and pain, except that I should watch my diet, reduce stress, and get lots of exercise.
I attempted numerous alternative therapies and cut out meats, fermented foods, hot and spicy [...]]]></description>

The plant-based lifestyle is proactive environmentalism at its best, and is as good for you as it is for the planet. Legumes, which include beans, lentils, peas, soybeans and peanuts, are one of the best sources of soluble fiber and a staple food in just about every country on earth.

		<description><![CDATA[
We change our wardrobes with the seasons, we should be changing our salad ingredients as well. Eating seasonally not only tastes better, but it requires a lot less energy to create.
In wintertime, instead of basing your salad on something light like a butter lettuce, consider something that weathers the cold climate, like endive, escarole or [...]]]></description>

Despite its name, buckwheat is neither a wheat nor a gluten.  Although it is commonly treated like a grass or a cereal, buckwheat is actually the fruit seeds from a plant, or an agricultural weed known as Fagopyrum esculentum.
Buckwheat is a hearty whole food that can be grown in poor soil and weather conditions; it [...]]]></description>
