Today people are not eating enough fruits and vegetables, and that may be why so many people are being affected by cancer. There is simple evidence that shows green foods actually suppress the carcinogenic free radicals that create tumors.

Tumors are the same as cancer, just in case you didn't know that. Fruits and vegetables are thought to be the best preventative source against cancer not just by nutritionists or health fanatics but also by doctors, like real medical doctors that go to college for eight years.

Yup, that is right, these doctors that are going to put you through chemotherapy are also the ones that are going to say, "you better had eat your vegetables otherwise you might get cancer real bad." Though, it is doubtful they would forewarn you about a tumor you already had.

So how do you start incorporating bland, boring, tasteless fruits and vegetables into your diet so that you won't get cancer? The simple answer is to incorporate different fun flowers into your salads.

Most people do not think to eat flowers because they look so pretty or smell so appealing, but ancestors without a doubt would eat these things all the time. Ancestors lived in a scary time though, back when they thought tomatoes were poisonous and would continue eating things they had never eaten before.

There were probably many casualties to the great encyclopedia of edible plants and their not-so-edible plant counterparts. You are lucky that people have already spent thousands of years popping crazy things in their mouth only to record whether it made them feel sick or not.

Now there is a list of flowers that you can look up online anytime you want, just for fun. They say that bean blossoms have a very beany type flavor to them.

Bean blossom just sounds appealing, but after you see the light pink creamy color that flows from the end of the stem you are going to want to pop this baby in your mouth without even thinking twice. Flowers work beautifully as garnish on salad plate; use them for romantic occasions when you really want to impress your spouse.

She might think you are crazy for digging up her flower bed and wanting to eat it, but after you both taste the delectable salad there will be no denying it. They can also be used as garnish on some foods that are not salads.

They go perfect with lettuce because, well they are both plants, but they will also compliment a ham dinner, or a nice fried fish. If you need to make a dinner a little more sprucely then pop some flowers on there.
