Power Foods To Import

Enter a supermarket and chances are you will go past the produce section.  It is a rather small section.  It is often a beautiful colorful section.  There bright red tomatos, colorful purple eggplants, maybe some purple cabbage, a few exotic pieces of fruit or vegetables.  Maybe some cacti, maybe some bok choi.  Sometimes it smells really nice.  You can smell the fresh apples, the fresh strawberries and the onions.  It is one of my favorite places in a supermarket.  The sad part is that it is always just a small section.  Most of the store will have dry, canned, and processed food.  The same is true of the meat section.   Stores limit their selection, because consumers limit their selection.  Every once in a while there are some nice guavas.  Guavas are not consumed much in the United States, but they should be.  Guavas are powerful foods.  There are also other power foods such as blueberries.  These foods are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.   Guavas are probably one of the cheaper power foods available, because they can be imported from Mexico, Central America and possibly Asia.  The exchange differential gives us a competitive advantage and these foods are cheaper to us.  Blueberries, though very tasty and excellent power foods are local.  They come from colder climate states and generally not imported.  Perhaps down the road blueberries can be imported from Chile wher the weather is opposite to us and would therefore be available at different seasons, but the distance is significant and would therefore make the import of these berries more expensive than import of other foods such as Guavas, mangos, and avocados from Mexico.  In any case there are many power foods that we should include as part of our every day diet since, they are affordable and delicious.
