2 Foods You're Afraid to Try, But Should

Okay, there are some foods out there we know we should try because of their super health benefits and general buzz from people who have actually tried them. But we keep putting it off for one reason or another—mainly because we're afraid. Here are two foods worth putting your fears aside to sample:

Goji berries: These dried wolfberries may have a weird name, but they're extremely high in antioxidants, especially vitamin A. Although they have a tangy taste that not everyone appreciates (though some love it), mixing them into a homemade trail mix is a good trick to try.

Sardines: High in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 for healthy nerve cells and vitamin D, which helps with calcium absorption and immune function, but the fishy smell of sardines turns some people off. Try them with some mustard on whole-grain crackers for a snack—you may just find them becoming a snack you crave!
