What is a Superfruit?

January 30th, 2009

The term superfruit refers to a fruit that has exceptional nutrients, rich with antioxidants, and is overall very good for you. The term superfruit was not introduced and used until about 2005 as a way to market very healthy fruits.

The same goes for superfoods which are similar to superfruits but superfoods can be vegetables or anything and do not have to be fruits.

Most of the common fruits with a lot of nutrients such as strawberries are not considered superfruits. Some of the superfruit examples are acai berry, goji berry, aronia berry, noni fruit, and mangosteen. There are more and there are some very healthy fruits that are not superfruits but are almost superfruits.
