The term superfood is everywhere these days. You may have even said it yourself.  But what does it really mean?

According to Oxford Dictionary, a superfood is a nutrient-rich food considered to be beneficial for health and well-being. A food’s nutrient density is what determines if a food is considered super. Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients packed into a small volume of food.

Take an apple and a doughnut for example. An apple has approximately 100 calories, provides your body with 4 grams of dietary fiber, and is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. In comparison, a regular glazed doughnut has roughly 200 calories and has very little nutritional value. Although the apple and doughnut are roughly the same volume, the apple is nutrient dense².
