It being the New Year and all there have been a host of articles on healthy eating including more than a few on "superfoods". I know there is a new one every other day but I am always intrigued to find out what the new superfood is. After all, who could resist a "natural food regarded as especially beneficial because of its nutrient profile or its health-protecting qualities" (as defined by the Oxford encyclopedia).
The New York Times article listed the best new superfoods as:
1. Beets
2. Cabbage
3. Swiss chard
4. Cinnamon
5. Pomegranate juice
6. Dried plums
7. Pumpkin seeds
8. Sardines
9. Turmeric
10. Frozen blueberries
11. Canned pumpkin
We actually eat all of these, except pumpkin seeds, already. But some are part of our daily and weekly diets and some make an appearance every couple of months. So I will be aiming to add more of them to our everyday meals. The article lists ideas on how to incorporate them as well as the nutritional benefits of each.
