What Are Superfoods?

What are superfoods and do superfoods work? In short, no superfoods don’t have anything to do with Superman, although we’re pretty sure he takes some Nutras Organics superfood powders though. Superfoods are foods that contain a high nutritional value. Our superfoods range includes Acai Berry Blend, Super Greens + Reds and Clean Greens, this range contains potent superfoods that support optimal wellbeing, we’ll get into the specifics in just a jiffy, we’ll be covering that and all your burning questions like, what are superfoods and who should be taking them and why? In short, anyone who wants to boost their overall wellbeing and reap the nutritional benefits that superfoods offer, that’s who! 

What Foods are Superfoods?

So now we know that superfoods are super duper nutrient-dense, what foods are superfoods? Foods that are known to be superfoods are plant-based natural foods that are also low in calories. What foods are superfoods though? Some known title holders include:

  • Berries, especially dark berries like acai
  • Leafy greens
  • Alfalfa
  • Avocado
  • Pomegranate
  • Spirulina
  • Broccoli
  • Fermented foods like kefir that contain probiotics
  • Sea algae & kelp
  • Seeds like chia and flaxseed
  • Mushrooms
  • Chlorella

Just to name a few, and although there is no set criteria that denotes the title of superfood to certain foods, the high nutritional value and benefit of foods for wellbeing (like the above) certainly sets these foods apart from the rest. 

What is Superfood Powder?

We know what you’re thinking, why not just eat these superfoods? Absolutely, eat wholefoods for the nutrients, however, many superfoods aren’t readily available to eat or to get enough of in their natural form, so a condensed powder form also condenses the nutrient value as you can consume a higher dose, so to answer what is a superfood powder? A superfood powder is a powder that is dried (ideally refractance dried for optimum flavour and nutritional value) from the food source and is an easy way to incorporate daily superfoods into your diet. 

How do Superfood Powders Work?
