You Gotta Eat...

I know that the organic sections of several groceries are expanding, but there are still products those stores don't carry, like the amazing sweetener called stevia. Up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and with almost no calories and a negligible effect on blood glucose, it's a godsend for diabetics. Heath Restoring Foods on Washington Road in Evans carries it. Yes, the price is $11. But at that concentration, it lasts forever.

They also carry a weight-loss product called FucoThin. It's produced from a seaweed extract. Most fat-burning products work by creating a thermogenic effect in the body. FucoThin is unique because it creates a thermogenic effect without stimulating the central nervous system. It's not supposed to give you the jitters or cause you to lose sleep.


Of course, the name of the place is Heath Restoring Foods, so obviously they carry specialty groceries, too.

Izzie is a delicious juice-based soda that promises a full serving of fruit in every bottle.

These are just yummy, yummy chips.

Quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah") is a whole grain product that's like rice or couscous, but metabolizes slower and carries more health benefits.

And below, you see a variety of canned meat-substitute products for the vegetarians in the area. They also have a frozen food case and much, much more.



If health isn't the issue, and you're just bored with the food you've been eating, check out Asian Choice off Washington Road, in the shopping center behind Applebee's (near the bowling alley). They have frozen naan, samosas, pakoras and a variety of exotic fruits and vegetables, canned and boxed foods and foreign candies and such to try. Definitely get the frozen naan, samosas and pakoras, though - although watch out for the samosas. They're small, but they pack a spicy punch!
