Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that deliver more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants per bite. Here are the twelve staples our nutritionists keep in rotation.
The word ‘superfood’ is marketing, not science, but the underlying truth is real: a small set of foods deliver a disproportionate nutritional punch per calorie. The trick is to weave them into meals you already eat, not to chase exotic powders.
The 12 staples
- Blueberries — antioxidants, vitamin C, low glycaemic
- Kale — vitamin K, folate, fibre
- Chia seeds — omega-3, fibre, calcium
- Greek yogurt — probiotics, protein, calcium
- Quinoa — complete protein, iron, magnesium
- Avocado — monounsaturated fats, potassium
- Almonds — vitamin E, magnesium, protein
- Turmeric — curcumin, anti-inflammatory
- Green tea — catechins, L-theanine
- Sweet potato — vitamin A, fibre, slow carbs
- Dark chocolate (85%+) — flavanols, magnesium
How to use them
Two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners per week should rotate these ingredients. Store chia and almonds in your pantry; keep salmon and greens in the freezer; blueberries and avocado fresh. With twelve staples you can feed a family of four for seven days without repeating.
