Although there is no established definition, the term superfood refers to a 100% natural food of plant or animal origin that contains high amounts of essential nutrients or other compounds and that are associated with the prevention of certain diseases.

Benefits of superfoods
In addition to nourishing the body, superfoods inspired energy and promote the general well-being of those who consume them. On the other hand, the high content of vitamins and minerals that superfoods have can help maintain a strong immune system.
They have become very popular since, unlike synthetic nutrients, the proven nutrients in superfoods are absorbed more efficiently by our bodies. Of course, some superfoods also contain fiber, which helps prevent stomach problems and aids in the digestion of food.
