If you want tasty and healthy restaurant fare you may want to find a local restaurant featuring superfoods. Some of the more popular superfoods are blueberries, salmon, kale, acai, sweet potatoes, beans, fruits and nuts.
Superfoods aren’t actually a food group. “Superfood” is a marketing term describing foods said to be very nutritious and good for you. There’s certainly nothing wrong with eating foods packed with nutrients.
Blueberries are a popular superfood because they are rich in vitamins, fiber and flavonoids that may reduce the risk of certain heart conditions.

Beans and whole grains make the superfood list as do nuts and seeds. Sweet potatoes, quinoa, and squash are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Omega-3 fats fall under the category of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Several foods are great sources of omega-3 fats.
