You have probably heard the term super food before. This term is used to describe foods that have nutrients and vitamins that in a higher concentration or number 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 acai berry is the first super food that I am going to talk about and you probably already know about it. It has a higher concentration of antioxidants than any other fruit. It also has some protein and healthy doses of dietary fiber and omega fatty acids. 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 are high in antioxidants, fiber, and protein. The pistachio nut is called the skinny nut because it is low in calories - a serving of about 50 nuts has only 160 calories. 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 first is the pomegranate. It is full of antioxidants and has a very exotic flavor. The high level of antioxidants, second only to the acai berry, is why this fruit has become popular.

The last super food is walnuts. While you have probably heard of it, you probably don’t know how healthy it really is. The walnut is a great source of vitamins, antioxidants, dietary fiber and protein. There is also a concentration of omega 3 fatty acids that is higher than 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 are now becoming fairly common and available in many grocery stores. Walnuts are a common thing to find in almost every grocery store. Pistachios are less common than walnuts, but you can usually find them at your local grocery store.

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