Super Food.... Is there any thing super?
'The use of general terms on food, such as 'healthy for you' or
'superfood', implies a health benefit. However, these terms do not communicate why the food is healthy or a super food. So, the regulation requires they are backed up by a relevant and authorized health claim. This way the consumer knows why this food is healthy.' This is a lift up of the portion from an article that I found at http://www.theanalystmagazine.com/july2007/103.htm |

I think it arose as a marketing term in the U.S. for various dietary supplements, such as dried _Spirulina_ algae. Blech! Since it can mean anything, I'd call red wine and dark chocolate (70% or more) superfoods. |

(if you're an experimental-type cook, try red kryptonite.) your pal, lois |
