    Adding anchovies to tomato sauce takes it up a level without detection. …a great “secret ingredient”
    Marinate sardines in a little vinegar for a few minutes cuts the fish taste. Mashing and mixing them with some mustard is good as well. 😊

      Er, create a salad. Add tuna or sardines with it? 🥗
      Crush them up & use instead of olive oil as a dressing (if you’re squeamish)?
      Think of these foods as live-giving. The more of these foods you eat, the longer you’ll live.
      Plus PURPLE FOODS. I guess that will be another episode?

      Unfortunately, I don’t like sardines, and only like certain white fish to eat. I can also do the white chunk canned tuna. Are these good subs instead of sardines?? I just can’t eat them! 😞 Also, what do you think of the orange flavored omega-3 oil you can get in the packets to supplement?

    This is a great intro to the Med lifestyle. I’ve incorporated all of what you’ve listed here into my daily meal preps, including sardines. For those afraid of these little fish as I was initially, it has the texture of tuna and the taste is not even close to being as overwhelming that you’d expect. Skinless and boneless might be best for a first try, and then you can move up the ladder to pop them into your mouth as they come out of the ocean. Spend an extra buck for the top brands and packed in EVOO.

    In reading the comments I am amazed at how many people don't eat sardines! I guess my dad introduced them to us as kids way... way back and so they are just something I can eat when I think of it. I use anchovies in making a few dishes, such as Caesar salad dressing and Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Eggplant I have tried a few times but just don't like it.
    I realize that I am one of those people that needs recipes. I worry that I will buy stuff and have it go to waste because I don't know what to do with it.

    This is the video *I* asked for! 😎
    Anchovies - top Chefs use these (blitzed) instead of salt to season recipes!
    I’m in my fifties. I had ‘liver spots’ on my hands & arms. After a month of following this (plus a mouthful of extra-virgin olive oil [EVOO] mornings & evenings), they have honestly disappeared. It might sound gross to start with, which is why discussions on the taste spreads to your closest ones. Within a month, people you know will be sharing their benefits with you (except the visible).
    PURPLE FOODS? Walnuts? I did ask for this Starter vid, I guess I’m just showing my love for your longevity-giving videos! 😊

    The only ones I don’t eat (yet) are sardines and anchovies. I want to want to eat them but just not there yet. I’ve started eating mackerel recently and have enjoyed it so there’s hope😅. I love garlic but often default to the powdered version because it’s easier. Is there evidence on whether it’s equal to/less than the fresh from? Thanks for your common sense approach to teaching us about nutrition.

      Yes, and no. As far as I understand, Farro is a more general term that refers to three types of ancient wheat: Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt. So emmer is a type of farro, but farro is not necessarily emmer.
