Superfood?

It is believed Cretan scholar Canopius brewed the first known cup of coffee in his chambers at Balliol College, Oxford in 1637.

I think I read a long time ago.... that after oil, coffee is the most traded commodity in the world.
 
Most dark greens are super foods, but most people never develop a taste for them. As a child I was raised on garden grown and I think that most kids today rarely get the luxury of eating vegetables that are picked ripe.. If picked early you loose the additional nutrients that you would normally get if it was still in the sun and you would lose the mildly sweet fresh flavor. In the end, people never develop the desire to eat them unless you have a salad dressing dip.
 
No one "superfood" will do the trick. First do no harm is first principle of healthy eating. If your great great great great grandfather wouldn't recognize what's on your plate, you probably aren't making the right choices.

I had a great uncle that thought eating two servings of strawberries per week would prevent prostate cancer. Guess what he got prostate cancer. it doesn't work that way.

Actually I had someone from the national cancer research center in Denver tell me that strawberries help fight prostate cancer, but he also said that having frequent sex was key.

So grab your mate or Susie and her five sisters and go to town.:D
 
If a fruit can be called superfood, then it has to be Amla:


It lowers blood glucose and Tryg levels like an FDA approved medicine. Also good for your hair.

"Indian gooseberry is taken by mouth for high cholesterol, "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis), diabetes, pain and swelling of the pancreas (pancreatitis), cancer, upset stomach, eye problems, joint pain, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea (dysentery), osteoarthritis, obesity, "organ restoration", and for a skin disorder that causes unpigmented skin (vitiligo). It is also used to kill germs and reduce pain and swelling caused by the body's reaction to injury or illness (inflammation)."
