Foods to Eat in the New Year to Bring Good Luck

Attract good luck in the new year with these food items

Can you believe it’s already 2017? For those who are looking forward to leaving 2016 behind, it’s important to start the new year off right with a positive mind. Many cultures around the world find fortune in the foods they eat, and there’s no better time to start dining for luck than at the beginning. Today we’ll take a look at popular food items revered for bringing good fortune to those who consume them.

Pork

Succulent, rich, and fatty, pork symbolizes wealth and prosperity. Even the idea of a suckling pig conjures memories of hearty feasts. Pigs are forward-moving with their snouts, mimicking progress in life. Cultures around the world celebrate new beginnings with plates of pork, from bacon to ham to tender ribs.

Fish

Scales represent coins, and so fish is deemed a culinary item of good fortune. As with pigs, the forward movement of fish represents progress. Additionally, their omega-3s bring longevity for those who consume them as well.

Beans

Even the Ancient Romans consumed for luck, which is why they chowed down on lentils, legumes that resemble Roman coins. Similarly, in the United States, black-eyed peas are similarly eaten for good luck as they resemble coinage too.

Greens

For those more interested in bills over coins, leafy greens are a wonderful choice for the new year. Flat and green, they look like paper money. Opt for some nice, flat, healthy kale for some extra luck.

Corn bread

Corn bread is a popular item that also looks like something of remarkable value: gold. Bake it with whole kernels of corn inside to represent gold nuggets. The savory and sweet bread can be wonderfully paired with other lucky items like barbecued pork.

Grapes

Countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Mexico have the tradition of eating 12 grapes right as midnight strikes. While it sounds fun and simple, cramming so many grapes into one’s mouth can be tricky. Consuming grapes throughout the start of the new year is a good practice as well, because, even if it doesn’t bring luck per se, grapes carry plenty of healthy antioxidants.

Pomegranate

Greeks smash pomegranates on floors to expose their seeds, a symbol of prosperity and luck. Be sure to find one heavy with seeds, because the more you uncover, the luckier you’ll be. The seeds are also great sources of fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients.

Noodles

Asian cultures enjoy oodles of long noodles to represent longevity. Don't cut or break them, or you’ll ruin the effect. Some people go as far as not chewing them, but that just might cut your life short, ironically.

Doughnuts

Besides being delicious, doughnuts, and other ring-shaped foods like bagels, symbolise the year coming back to its start. Circles are important symbols in folklore and mythology, representing perpetualness and the life-death-rebirth cycle. As we all learned from cartoon lions in 1994, the circle of life is what moves us all.

Cake

Cake is good luck because it's, well, cake. Some traditions hide coins or items inside their respective desserts, bringing luck to anyone who bites into them (so long as they don't break a tooth).

money.usnews.com - What's the Best Cryptocurrency to Invest in Now? 7 Contenders

Mulling the best cryptocurrencies to buy now may seem laughable these days, as 2022 has been a near-constant stream of selling and bad news in the world of crypto, blockchain and decentralized finance, or DeFi. November brought more of the same, when leading cryptocurrency exchange FTX imploded as it became clear the firm was an overleveraged and irresponsible custodian of customer deposits. Through the end of November, the total cryptocurrency market value has plunged 60.6% in 2022. What folks tend to forget is that such swings are hardly unprecedented: The market lost more than 60% between June 2019 and March 2020, about 70% in four months in 2018, and about 80% between late 2013 and early 2015. Cryptocurrencies, as they always have been, remain incredibly volatile and risky. With that said, for risk-tolerant investors, here are six of the best cryptocurrencies to buy now.
