While there’s no official definition of what one is, ‘superfoods’ are generally considered to be foods which are particularly efficient at providing the body with nutrients and health benefits.

Supplementing your regular diet with a selection of these consumables is an easy way to supercharge your health, without going hungry.

Nuffield Health’s research team looked into the most beneficial foods and have created a complete A-Z list of foods that provide the most bang for bite when it comes to vitamins and other healthy nutrients.
