The joy of the cornucopia

Chances are you have a range of familiar foods you eat month after month, and familiar spots in the grocery store that you return to on every visit. America's food supply is largely composed of the same few foods (potatoes, sugar, wheat, beef, and corn syrup, to name a few) combined into endless permutations.
There is a marvelous cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, and grains for you to sample and enjoy. Next time you shop, check out the uncommon types of legumes. Did you know how many varieties of rice there are? Even your everyday supermarket stocks an impressive range. Visit an ethnic market in your area for an eye-opening exposure to new foods. And give yourself a treat: take an hour to really explore a good health food store. Take home just one unfamiliar item each week and you'll find your food repertoire expands in a delightful way.
