Super food is probably a term you have heard before. It is used to describe foods that contain nutrients and vitamins that are higher than normal when compared to similar foods. In this article I am going to talk about a few super foods and tell you why they are so good for you. Some of them you have probably heard of, some of them probably not.

The number one super food that most people have already heard of is the acai berry. It has a higher concentration of antioxidants than any other fruit. 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 nuts are super nutritious. 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.

There are two more super foods I want to mention. 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. The high level of antioxidants, second only to the acai berry, is why this fruit has become popular.

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. They also have a higher concentration of omega 3 fatty acids compared to other nuts.

Now you may be wondering where you can buy 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 have become very popular and are now available in the fruit section of many 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.

Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or an antioxidant boost, these fruits and nuts are a great addition to your diet.
