JAMIE OLIVER IS on a mission to find the world’s healthiest, most-enduring communities.
In his new show, Jamie’s Super Food – which airs Mondays on Channel 4 – he travels around the world visiting regions where people live longest and stay healthy well into old age.
On the show, he reveals the 14 ingredients, which he calls “heroes” that he says he encountered frequently on his journeys from Japan to Costa Rica. Both areas have some of the highest percentages of people living to be 100.
He says they are:
Eggs
Goat’s milk
Wild greens and herbs
Fish
Sweet potato
Tofu
Walnuts
Black beans
Fresh fruit
Wild rice
Seaweed
Prawns
Chillies
Garlic
Oliver maintains that the ingredients make delicious food.
“It’s not about goji berries and green drinks. It’s about cooking smart with simple foods.
“They’re all using humble ingredients to make some of the simplest and tastiest dishes I’ve ever tasted.”
