Melatonin is the hormone that tells your body to go to sleep. While switching from Letterman to those infomercials might help, here's something a bit more appetising.

92. Best Sleep Aid Cherries
An excellent source of melatonin and their anthocyanins (red pigments) help reduce inflammation.
How to eat them: fresh, canned or juiced.


You're hosting a weeknight barbecue
Grilling's the best way to cook, because the fat ends up in the fire.

93. Best Hot Dogs
Hans 97% Fat Free Hot Dogs
Scoff on a roll with grilled onions, mustard and tomato sauce.

Bursting with flavour, not fat.

Lightly flavoured with lemon, herbs and garlic.

98. Best Mustard
MasterFoods Tomato Mustard
A rich tangy blend of mild English mustard and tomatoes.

99. Best Barbecue Sauce
ETA Original Barbeque Sauce
Just right in every way - it's not too hot, sweet or thick; perfect sliding up next to a sausage.

100. Best Steak Sauce
HP Sauce
Everyone's favourite sauce, but why just use it on steak? Great for spicing up chips and bacon sandwiches as well.
