Super Foods

Scientists and innovators are experimenting to take your fruit and veggies to the next level. Look what those crazy geniuses have come up with...



SUPER-BROCCOLI!
All broccoli contains a key phytonutrient that has been credited for its link to lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer. However, a new variety called Beneforté has been developed, and it contains two to three times more of the beneficial component than regular broccoli! It's currently available only in the UK.
Cleaner Eating! These are fruit labels (i.e., those annoying, hard-to-peel-off produce stickers) that TURN TO SOAP under water. The soap is food-safe and helps to get rid of waxes, pesticides, and any other stuff you wouldn't want to eat.

Move Over, Stevia... There's a new natural sweetener sweeping the food world -- monk fruit concentrate! Antioxidants in the fruit are sweet yet calorie-free, so a New Zealand company called BioVittoria developed the new sweetener. It's already being used in some products  like frozen treats from So Delicious!
