Feel-good Superfoods

Let these supercharged ingredients, in their array of vibrant colors, paint a pretty picture of health and vitality for you. 

The culinary revolution of the past decade has taught us to appreciate high-quality food over inferior industrial ingredients lacking flavor and nutrition. More than ever, food shoppers want to buy foods that are supremely delicious and highly nutritious. 

Enter superfoods. Power-packed, heart-healthy and disease-fighting, they help us feel satisfied and energized all day long! This premium book guides readers through the world’s healthiest superfoods and how to choose and use them in a comprehensive A (avocado) to Z (zucchini) glossary complete with nutrition information, kitchen tips, and simple recipes anyone can make. 

From common and inexpensive fruits and veggies to potent and exotic superfood powders that deliver tremendous bang for the buck, this book teaches consumers what they need to know to start incorporating amazing superfood ingredients into their daily diet. And more importantly, it makes readers feel better about consuming what are commonly thought of as vices (like coffee and chocolate) thanks to some surprising health benefits.
