Abstract

In recent years many scientific studies demonstrate the importance of non-class processed foods whose nutritional composition is ideal for strengthening and promoting the proper functioning of the human body. These foods are known as superfoods. Superfoods are special kinds of foods capable of exhibiting different positive effects involving the prevention of different ailments, providing impetus to the immune system, and essential macro- and micro-nutrients in ample quantities. Nowadays, these are gaining considerable attention due to the increased health consciousness of consumers. In contrast to their exceptional health or even medicinal benefits, which are based on their long history of use, the concept of superfoods is still little understood. The category of superfoods mainly comprises different types of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. This review sheds light on the nutritional composition of some significant superfoods. This manuscript could help consumers to use superfoods as part of their diet more often and very effectively.
