What food do you believe to be THE superfood?

I suppose it would depend on what you consider a superfood.
One with the most nutrients per serving? One with the least calories/fat/carbs and most protein? Amino acid packed?
I feel like a lot of people now are obsessed with avocados. Quinoa is also a big thing these days - especially with an increase in gluten free diets. The general population that don't necessarily watch what they eat would say spinach (as they should, rich in vitamin A and iron, low calorie). I'd probably add eggs to that list (or egg whites), especially since I do not eat meat.

Oatmeal for me is a superfood. Super healthy, filling, fibrous and nummy.0

I'd certainly have to add broccoli to the list.0

I don't believe in superfood. All food are made equal. It's the person ingesting the food. Everyone is different and everyone's need is different. It's up to you to decide what you need and how much is needed.0

I don't think anything is THE superfood, but I'd also go with beans because there is such a variety and they are so versatile.0

Legumes are partially responsible for every modern disease, so I hope you reconsider0
