What is the Superfoods List 2020?

The "Superfoods List" is an annual collection of foods that are packed with nutrients and touted for their health benefits. It's typically put together by nutrition experts or organizations in order to bring awareness to some lesser known (but equally nutritious) food choices while also highlighting popular options.

Are all superfoods on this year’s list brand new?

Nope! Many items on this year’s Superfoods List aren't exactly groundbreaking (think: kale & blueberries). However, what sets each item apart is its impressive profile when it comes to essential vitamins and minerals, alongside other compounds including antioxidants.

How was the “Superfood” criteria established?

There isn’t an exact definition nor guidelines which classify a certain fruit/vegetable as a 'superfood'. That said, any food rich in vital nutrients like fiber, vitamins/minerals complimented by additional health perks beyond just basic nourishment instantly skyrockets into being labeled as one.

Do I need to consume only these superfoods in order to maintain good health?

Absolutely not! The ideal diet should always encompass balance between various types of natural occurring produce sources along with supplementing meals with adequate protein intake depending upon your activity levels/body goals.

Can I rely solely on “super” for nutritional needs throughout my day?

It’s important keep seeking out variety instead of relying too heavily on one food group or family. An obsession with any singular nutrient can lead towards missing out on the other important nutrients that aren’t present in said super-fruit/veggie.

How long does a consumer try out these Superfoods to better decide if they are suitable for their diet?

For healthy individuals, there is no specific amount of time assigned for one to establish if any type of Superfood suits well in his/her meals as everyone’s body reacts differently.
