Do you know what a superfood is? If you don’t, then you’re not alone. Research from Holland & Barret has shown that one in five people don’t know the benefits.
Superfoods are nutrient dense foods that are packed full of vitamins and minerals. They can come in all different formats, such as fresh fruit and vegetables as well as seeds, oils and powders.
According to Holland & Barret, nearly half of the UK would like to add superfoods to their meals if they knew more about them.
So, to help you make the most of all the superfoods out there and their benefits, Holland & Barret has recommended some of the best blends and powders to get you started.
