How's your cholesterol? Too high? Do you suffer from diabetes? What about hypoglycemia? Need to reduce the saturated fats in your diet? Looking for a power-packed source of antioxidants to fight those pesky free radicals? Black beans are for you. They have about 10 times the antioxidants of cranberries. They have zero fat. They're packed with protein. What's not to like? OK, tomatillos. One University of Illinois study concluded that tomatillos might help prevent cancer. That's quite useful in my book. Black beans and tomatillos have been staples of the meso-American (Mexico and neighbours) diet for a few thousand years. If you live in Mexico or the USA, buying fresh tomatillos is easy. If you live elsewhere, like Australia, you might have to grow your own. Here in Oz, The Diggers Club stock tomatillo seeds. I planted some last year, got a good harvest and will plant some more every year. The coriander & green serrano chillies in the salsa also came from the garden. Panko crumbs on the barramundi give a nice crunch.
