Salmon, berries, broccoli, almonds, kale, beans, and oats are considered ‘superstars’ in the dietary world. But they are not the only superfoods, a group of foods known to be nutritious and boost immunity. American health and medical media ‘WebMD’ introduced foods that are included in the list of superfoods but are not often eaten by people.
cauliflower
Like other cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower is a good source of vitamin C and fiber. Like broccoli, it also contains a natural phytochemical called sulforaphane, which is effective in preventing various cancers.
tempeh
Tofu is well known, but have you ever tried tempeh? Tempeh is made by fermenting soybeans and is a representative food of Indonesia. Although it looks similar to tofu in appearance, it is closer to Cheonggukjang in that it is a fermented food. However, Cheonggukjang is different in that it is sticky, whereas tempeh is solid. Because tempeh is made from soybeans, it is rich in nutrients such as protein, potassium, and calcium.
beat
This brightly colored root vegetable looks rough on the outside, but becomes soft and sweet when cooked. Beets are rich in antioxidants, which help prevent cancer and other chronic diseases. Additionally, the nitrates found in beet juice lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the brain. In particular, athletes can benefit from improving their performance by eating beets as a snack.
artichoke
Artichoke is a perennial plant of the thistle family that is native to the Mediterranean coast. It is usually cooked by steaming or grilling, and is eaten as an accompaniment to meat dishes, mixed into salads, or used as an ingredient in pasta or paella. It is also commonly seen as a pizza topping. One artichoke has 60 calories and almost no fat. It is rich in fiber and provides a feeling of fullness, thus reducing the craving for high-fat foods.
kefir
Kefir, developed in the Caucasus Mountains region of Eastern Europe, is made by fermenting the milk of cows, sheep, goats, etc. Kefir is rich in beneficial bacteria (good bacteria) called probiotics, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
prune
In addition to aiding digestion, dried plums are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which play a significant role in promoting health. A quarter cup of dried plums contains 104 calories and 12% of your daily fiber needs.
lentils
Lentils may not be as popular as regular beans, but they are just as versatile when it comes to health benefits. If you add lentils to soups or stews instead of meat, you can consume much less fat and plenty of protein and fiber.
sardine
Sardines are small fish, but they are rich in nutritional value. Sardines contain a lot of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. It is also high in vitamin D, a partner of calcium that strengthens bones.
seaweed
Seaweed such as seaweed and seaweed are foods that Westerners do not eat often. However, it is a healthy food that should be added to Western diets. Seaweed absorbs nutrients from the sea, so it is rich in vitamins, minerals, calcium and iron. It is also high in protein but low in fat.
