The 3 Latest Superfoods
Self Magazine surveyed chefs, “foodies”, and people who track trends to find out what the next superfoods are. Here are the stats on the three they came up with:
- Ají amarillo - a hot pepper with lots of capasaicin, a chemical compound that may kill cancer cells and increase your metabolism. You can buy it dried or powdered at a Latin market.
- Acerola - a tart fruit (looks like a cherry) with the highest vitamin C content. Look out for acerola in smoothies, sorbets, and juice blends.
- Sunchoke - also called Jerusalem artichoke, it has four times as much iron as a potato. Look for it at a health food store or upscale grocer.
