Keeping The World's Healthiest Foods Content Current:

We have worked hard to create in the WHFoods a reliable, scientifically accurate resource for improving health through eating the World's Healthiest Foods. Part of maintaining the quality of our site is keeping the content current. Our staff of nutritionists, naturopathic physicians and health writers constantly reviews the nutrition research. We regularly update our databases so they reflect the most current scientific understanding. Updated This Month provides a list of all the content that was updated over the past month.

New features for the week:

Foods that are in Season. We are featuring foods that are in season because that is when they are the most flavorful and the most affordable. Our featured food this week: Broccoli.

The Recipe of the Week includes the featured food. We have developed many new recipes which have been tried and tested several times to enhance flavors to the utmost. The directions have also been edited to make them easier to follow. Try the 5-Minute Broccoli with Feta Cheese and Kalamata Olives, our featured Recipe of the Week.

The In-Home Cooking Demo introduces you to practical methods and techniques to help making cooking more healthy and enjoyable.

Ask George Your Questions provides personal answers by George Mateljan. Over 100 topics and questions are covered in our Q&A Library. This week George discusses: "Can I get complete protein when eating plant-based foods?"

The whfoods Kitchen brings you the newest in preparing and cooking. Allergy Free Cooking, this week.
