Winfrey recently discovered that her favorite fish is barramundi. While the species can be found largely in the Indo-West Pacific, it is sometimes difficult to obtain in the United States so she often goes for cod as the popular fish is also a great source of vitamins A, D, and E, as well as omega-3 acids.
People who go on a diet often have cravings for food they used to eat before deciding to go on a diet. For Winfrey, there is one crunchy and tasty veggie to solve the cravings: jicama.
