    The term “superfood” refers to foods that provide the most nutritious benefits for the least amount of calories. They contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. No standard nor legal definition classifies any food as a superfood at this time. Most superfoods, however, are plant-based.

    When it comes to superfoods, you may quickly think of things like wheat grass and acai powder. In other words, the ‘more unusual products’ that you don’t buy on every street corner. But you will also find plenty of superfoods in the regular supermarket: products that promote health due to the large amount of vitamins and high nutritional value.

    What is a superfood?

    Superfoods are foods that are very nutritious. This means they provide adequate nutrition and very few calories. They contain a high amount of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Antioxidants are natural molecules that occur in certain foods. These help neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are a natural byproduct of energy production that causes disasters in the body.

    You see them everywhere nowadays: superfoods. But what is the purpose of which superfood? And what are the most popular? You can read it here.
