Seven trendy food items that may be overpriced (with cheaper alternatives)

A short roundup of seven foods the video calls unnecessary or overpriced, plus cheaper or similar alternatives and practical notes.

7) Quinoa

Why it’s flagged: nutritional benefits are similar to ordinary grains; much more expensive.
Cheaper alternative: buckwheat — roughly 5× cheaper.
Note: Quinoa’s main selling point is often appearance on the plate rather than superior nutrition.

6) Asparagus

Why it’s flagged: very expensive for the nutrients it provides.
Cheaper alternative: green beans or other common vegetables provide similar nutrition at a fraction of the cost.
Note: Choose seasonal or local veggies for better value.

5) Microgreens

Why it’s flagged: sold largely for aesthetics; not filling.
Cheaper alternative: ordinary leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, arugula) offer the same benefits for much less.
Note: Use microgreens as a garnish, not a primary source of greens.

4) Pink Himalayan salt

Why it’s flagged: far pricier than common salts but taste and effect are essentially the same.
Price example: ~400 ₽/kg for Himalayan salt vs ~50 ₽/kg for sea salt.
Cheaper alternative: sea salt or regular salt.
Note: Unless you need trace minerals for a specific reason, cheaper salts work fine.

3) Trendy seeds sprinkled everywhere (chia, etc.)

Why it’s flagged: marketed as a superfood staple but often overpriced.
Cheaper alternative: flaxseed — about 3× cheaper and a good source of omega-3s.
Note: Grinding flaxseed improves nutrient absorption.

2) Avocado

Why it’s flagged: healthy but calorie-dense — easy to overshoot calories.
Practical comparison: half an avocado ≈ a spoon of oil in calorie content.
Note: Watch portion sizes; use avocado for flavor or healthy fats, not as an unlimited topping.

1) Matcha

Why it’s flagged: very expensive for antioxidants that ordinary green tea can provide.
Price example: ~2,500 ₽/kg for matcha; regular green tea is about 10× cheaper.
Cheaper alternative: regular green tea.
Note: Matcha is often chosen for its Instagram look rather than distinct health superiority.

Practical takeaway: choose cheaper equivalent foods (buckwheat, green beans, regular greens, sea salt, flaxseed, green tea), watch portions for high‑calorie items like avocado, and prioritize value over food trends.

Notable products mentioned: quinoa, asparagus, microgreens, pink Himalayan salt, sea salt, chia/flax seeds, avocado, matcha (and green tea as the cheaper alternative).
