Cheap superfoods/seeds/snacks?

I buy a lot of pumpkin and sunflower seads, and I often incorporate flax seed into my meals, but I was wondering what other products are out there that may be 'hidden' superfoods? And then I want to ask about the value for money with these foods, as I know some can be very expensive.

Thanks.

    "Superfood" is a marketing term that refers to an item with supposed health benefits. Sometimes they are trends that come and go (reference: goji berries) and others are food staples we are all familiar with, like blueberries.

    That said, if you are just looking for nutritious food, kale is touted as having the most nutrition per calorie, so that's the best bang for your buck, so to speak.

    Superfoods may not actually exist as such but in reality all the foods that get lumped into this category are better foods that are usually organic and will certainly be healthier for you than other food. In this respect you can consider these types of food super and so why not make use of an easy way to find healthy nutritious non fattening food.

    If you want to get more idea about just why "superfoods" are actually so good for you and can help you then have a look here http://homeshoporganic.com/

    Can you get them covered in chocolate? If so I'm on board. :)

    It's a relative term ... If you are starving then any form of nutrition will fit the bill. ;)

    Hard to argue that...
    In my experience, the only thing super foods had an effect on was my wallet.
