Common Cheap Superfoods?

by Aiden Zamora on October 31, 2008

Any Suggestions And Their Benefits? Thanks.

A superfood is a type of food that is believed to have more significant health benefits than any other type of food due to their specific phytonutrient content. For instance, blueberries are considered a superfood because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, vitamin C, and potassium,[1] which are believed to provide important health benefits[2]

Alleged superfoods
Dark chocolate
Berries: blueberries, goji berries, and acai berries
Soy
Beans
Broccoli
Oats
Oranges
Pumpkin
Salmon
Spinach
Tomatoes
Turkey
Walnuts
Yogurt
Spirulina
Green tea and white tea from the camellia sinensis plant (also black tea, but with less benefits)
Nettle leaf
Horsetail
Alfalfa leaf
Dandelion leaf
Kamut grass
Oat grass
Burdock root
Broccoli
Kale
Spinach
Parsley
Ginger root
Rose hips
Orange peel and lemon peel
Beet root
Lemon grass
Bilberry leaf
Black walnut leaf
Red raspberry leaf

Rosemary leaf

Legal status in the EU
