How it all started?

Vegans and supporters of healthy foods have first started talking about superfood.
When they stopped eating meat, they search a solution to replace animal food and discovered 'magic pills'.
At that time, a well-known nutritionist and food supporter David Volf discovered the wider public of foods such as raw cocoa beans, spirulina algae, berries, and aces.
The public has been enthusiastically admitted to the emergence of food with the motto
"Feel better, look younger, live longer".
With the trend of all natural and organic, thanks to the word "superfood" on packaging, the sale of these foods has jumped, and consumer interest has increased considerably.

What is superfood?

Superfoods include high concentrations of valuable ingredients, above all minerals, vitamins and essential amino acids. They are something between food and medicine. Superfoods are: roots, seeds, leaves, algae, berries and other parts of plants that are used both in natural form and in the form of powders, capsules, juices and tinctures. These plants grow most often in hard-to-reach locations, for example, the Amazon, Tibet, the Great Hills of the Andes and other mountains. The best-known "representatives" of the superfoods are: berries, alga spirulina, chlorella and kelp, hemp seeds, cocoa powder and pepper, chia seeds, coconut oil, barley and wheat grass juice, powder of moronic leaves and other.
By its chemical composition, superfood does not look like ordinary food. It has great protein content, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, antioxidants, unsaturated fatty acids and other beneficial ingredients, with a low calorific value. A list of illnesses and discomforts that these foods can help could take up half of this article. Basically, using this superfoods you will become stronger, more enduring and healthier, a real superman/superwomen.
