Super food is probably a term you have heard before. It is used to describe foods that have vitamins and nutrients that are uncommon or in a high concentration compared to other 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 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. This unique combination of nutrients has made it 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.

Pistachio nuts are the next super food I want to introduce to you. These little nuts are called the skinny nut and are really good for you. They are high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants. The pistachio nut is called the skinny nut because it is low in calories – a serving of about 50 nuts has only 160 calories. They are a great 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 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 next super food is the walnut. 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. 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. Acai berries are probably best taken in supplement form because you will have a very hard time finding them fresh. Pomegranates are now becoming fairly common and available in many grocery stores. Walnuts are a common thing to find in almost every 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.
