Superfoods That Most People Don’t Know About
These days, superfoods are all the rage. These foods are considered to be the most nutritionally dense foods. Most of them are plant-based and some are dairy and fish.
A number of famously known superfoods such as chia seeds, acai, and goji berries seems to be expensive and may not be appropriate to mix into just any meal. Luckily, there are other superfoods that are easier to find and won’t break your pocket.
Listed below are some of the inexpensive nutrient-rich superfoods that can be thrown into your every snacks and meal:
Peanut Butter
Amy Goodson, a Dallas-based registered dietitian and nutrition communications consultant commented that:
“It is a tasty way for a carnivore or vegetarian to add protein and healthy fat to their day.”
Barley
Jill Weisenberger a registered dietitian nutritionist and author of "Prediabetes: A Complete Guide” stated that:
“Barley is perfect for people with prediabetes, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, or those who simply want a healthier heart and body.”
Broccoli
Marisa Moore, an Atlanta-based registered dietitian nutritionist, recommends having broccoli as a side, a base for a healthy salad or tossed into pasta.
Watermelon
Jicama
Registered dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade stated that:
“Since the average adult consumes only 14 grams of fiber per day, adding even a small amount of jicama to your plate can help you reach your daily goals. One cup of jicama also contains 12 g of carbs and 44 percent of the RDI of vitamin C.”
Lentils
Beans
Manuel Villacorta, a registered dietician and the author of “Flat Belly 365” recommends beans a superfood of choice.
