Let's take it as a given that feeding on a variety of plants outside is better than most of what we can offer indoors, especially in the cold states in the winter.
That said, many people I respect recommend tossing in small amounts of 'non-traditional' foods in the winter for most species to try to help provide variety, interest, and micronutrients. Make sense to me as long as you are prudent.
So- what about garlic and avocado? You almost never see them on food lists, but when you look at the benefits of these foods, I find myself wondering about them. I cannot find any research pro or con, and I would not be talking about large amounts- just a little once in a while when we are using them for other meals.
Thoughts, links, etc.?
