Watch the What are Bioactive Foods and Why We Should Eat Them – Kitchen Academy Video

These conversational vodcasts are available to the Kitchen Pioneers who have joined my YouTube membership communityโ€”The Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy.

What Are Bioactive Foods?

Bioactive foods are real foods in their original whole state. These foods are rich in nutrients that can boost immune function and promote overall good health.

The good news is that bioactive foods are also common foods. You can easily obtain them from most local grocery stores, farmer’s markets, or even maybe your own kitchen garden!

I talk more about Bioactive Foods in today’s Kitchen Academy video.

Here is a sampling of some of the bioactive foods you can choose from:

  • Apples
