Introduction
Before we say anything else about superfoods and the recipes that you’ll find in this book, it’s important to mention that superfoods isn’t a term which nutritionists or dieticians use. In fact, there isn’t any single, universally accepted definition of the term, although it is used to market all manner of food products and nutritional supplements. That doesn’t mean, however, that some foods aren’t, for lack of a better term, super in terms of their nutritional value and health benefits.
Perhaps the most useful definition of superfoods is this: a food which is rich in essential nutrients, phytochemicals and other beneficial compounds, but that is also healthy in the broadest sense. These are fairly low calorie foods which contain no additives or artificial ingredients.
The best superfoods are also some of the easiest to find at your local market. Foods like pumpkin and other winter squashes, wild salmon, beans and lentils, spinach and other dark leafy greens, blueberries, kiwi fruit, oats, sweet potatoes and even chocolate (dark chocolate, not milk chocolate). Common though these foods may be, they all meet the superfoods criteria and are highly nutritious, healthy foods which deserve a prominent place in anyone’s diet.
We’ll go into the nutritional benefits of these superfoods in a little more detail in the individual chapters which follow. From vitamins and to phytonutrients which may play a role in preventing illness, to fiber and of course, flavor, these are foods which have a lot to offer your palate and your health.
Salmon
Salmon is the exception among superfoods in that it’s an animal product rather than a fruit, vegetable or seed. Salmon is one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, a compound which can promote cognitive development, possibly improve mood and fight inflammation (and as such, is thought to help prevent certain forms of cancer as well as stroke and heart disease, among other illnesses). It’s also an excellent source of lean protein and vitamin D, as well as carotenoid compounds (which are what give salmon its distinctive color).
One important thing to keep in mind when
