Breaking the sweet tooth craze are these new grapes that actually taste like cotton candy. We all want to dive straight into the sweet jar now and again but this could soon be a problem of the past.
In California, farmers from The Grapery have cultivated a grape that is completely natural without hidden additives and tastes like a sweet treat. They only contain 12% more sugar than the regular grapes you would normally buy so lets hope they come to the UK soon because I for one would love to get my hands on these.

We should be spending at least 20 minutes on each meal and chewing around 20-30 times for optimum digestion.
65 per cent of people admitted to chewing 10 times or fewer and the average person eats all three meals of the day in a total of 23 minutes. Get the right juicer for you!
Make sure you buy the right juicer . Philips is currently the leading brand of juicers been best voted for. Dont forget to leave the peel on the fruit! There are excellent nutrients in the skin peel of a fruit or vegetable so do not peel them. Other than oranges and grapefuit you should wash but not peel the product. Try something you wouldnt normally try raw! Alot of people are too used to the orange or apple juice that they forget how many other excellent foods are out there . So why not try juicing your beetroot, broccoli or celery raw and mix with a bit of apple for a new type of flavour . Its well known that raw food holds the best nutrients. Clean your juicer before you drink your juice! Modern juicers have become much easier to clean but never leave your juicer without cleaning it, there are soo many acids that can ruin it in fruit, try washing, drying and setting it up straight for use as soon as its been used . Experiment! The majority of people will only pick up oranges, bananas and apples from their store. Try something different , why not grab mixed fruit and vegetables and experiment with different flavours and co-ordinations of colours , pick a vegetable you have never tried or dont usually eat and mix it with your favourite fruit and see how you like it. Top tip ! If you have young children who refuse to eat their fruit and veg snacks - pop one into a juice bottle and send it to school with them,or even better make it into an icelolly, I bet if you used mixed berries , orange and some carrot they would never know the difference and its a great way of getting their 5 A day without them knowing.
