10 things you rarely eat that might extend your life by 10 years.

Buckwheat. It's got nothing to do with wheat. It's actually related to rhubarb. Gluten-free. Fills you up. Contains rutin, a flavonoid that keeps your arteries healthy. Look for buckwheat ramen.

Black Radish. Only the skin is black. The flesh is white. The taste is pungent. Eating a little black radish is like eating a lot of broccoli. It's all about glucosinolate. Your liver will love it. You may someday grow to like the taste.

Oregano. Common in Italian cooking, but if you didn't have a Nonna you may not know its magic. The key ingredient is Carvacrol, which gives oregano a warm aroma. Use it to make medicinal tea or sprinkle it on everything. Your immune system's secret weapon.

Apple Peel/Powder. The peel contains 72% of the apple's vitamins E and K, nearly half the total iron, and all of the apple's folate. Don't like apples? Buy apple peel powder and make a hot drink.

Purple Sweet Potato. Like the late, great Prince, the purple sweet potato is small but mighty. They contain 16 to 57 mg of anthocyanins per 100 g — way more than the more sugar-filled orange variety.

Maqui Berry Powder. This ancient Patagonian superfruit is one of the most antioxidant-rich foods on Earth. Darkest purple, slightly tart, dense like volcanic rock, and tastes like longevity.

Watercress. Rated the #1  veggie by the CDC, this tiny green contains a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals (Vit A, Vit C, folate, calcium, iron) and phytochemicals (lutein, quercetin, phenolic acids, and glucosinolates.

Teff. An ancient (gluten-free) African grain that higher amounts of vitamin K, calcium, and zinc than quinoa and none of the weird soapy taste.

Reishi Mushroom. Take your pick of any or all of the medicinal mushrooms, but Reishi has the coolest nicknames ("Mushroom of Immortality") along with a wide spectrum of bioactive polysaccharides, beta-glucans and more than 120 different triterpenoid compounds.

Prickly pear cactus fruit. Known for its deep red, juicy pulp that contains amounts of betalain (betacyanin and betaxanthin) pigment anti-oxidants also found in beets and chard
