You have probably heard the term super food before. It is used to describe foods that contain vitamins and nutrients that are uncommon or in a high concentration compared to other foods. Below are some of the top super foods and why they are referred to as super foods. Some of them you probably have not heard of and some of them you probably have.

The number one super food that most people have already heard of is the acai berry. This fruit offers a super high concentration of antioxidants. It also contains omega fatty acids, dietary fiber, and protein. It is a very nutritious food and one of the most popular health supplements in the world. If you live outside the United States, you can visit the Acai Berry Australia or Acai Berry UK pages for specific information.

The second super food I want to talk about is pistachio nuts. These little nuts are called the skinny nut and are really good for you. They have high amounts of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They are a good source of vegetable protein and only have 160 calories per serving which is about 50 nuts. You can eat them as a snack by themselves or they can be added to salads, muffins, cereal, and lots of other snacks and meals.

I want to close by talking about two more super foods. One is a fruit often compared to the acai berry and the other is a common nut you probably have heard of before.

The pomegranate is a super food sometimes compared to the acai berry. It has a very exotic flavor and has a lot of antioxidants. This fruit has gotten a lot of attention because of its antioxidant content.

The next super food is the walnut. While you have probably heard of it, you probably don’t know how healthy it really is. They are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and plant based protein. There is also a concentration of omega 3 fatty acids that is higher than other nuts.

So where can you get these super foods? When yo uare looking for acai berries, the best thing to do is look for a supplement you can buy because they spoil quickly and aren’t usually shipped very far from the Amazon. Pomegranates are now becoming fairly common and available in many grocery stores. Walnuts are available in almost any grocery store. Pistachio nuts are not as common as walnuts, but ther are available in most stores now.

These fruits and nuts make a great addition to any healthy diet as a snack or as an ingredient in healthy recipes.
