What is a superfruit?
Praised for their nutritional richness, these fruits are known to be anexceptional concentrate of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and trace elements.
However, there is no official grouping or classification of superfruits.
It is above all their nutrient content, well above the average of other fruits, that gives them this status.
What's more, their nutritional composition gives them protective qualities against external attacks and certain diseases. The cocktail of nutrients found in these fruits helps, among other things, to combat fatigue and stress, improve immune defenses, regenerate cells and prevent certain cancers.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "superfood" as "a nutrient-rich food that is considered particularly beneficial to health and well-being".
Today, they are essential health allies.
