MEMEBUSTER

This. Superfood basically means foods that are particularly nutrient-dense and health-promoting. Dark green vegetables, sweet potatoes, beans, berries, etc. High antioxidant values, potent anti-inflammatory effects, and other healthy things.

So it means what ever the fuck you want it to mean.

>Not a meme

Superfood is the word for which nutritious food is the food industry marketing the hardest. Nobody talks about stinging nettles, but they're significantly nutritionally superior to kale and available as a weed practically anywhere.

Exactly what I said it means. The same definition everyone who uses the phrase superfoods uses.

>a food that is rich in compounds (such as antioxidants, fiber, or fatty acids) considered beneficial to a person's health

And literally anyone can advertise anything as a superfood.

I consider gluten to be beneficial to peoples health. Is bread a superfood?

People can use practically any word however they want. What's your point?

If you had evidence that gluten/bread provided impressive health benefits, sure.

So are they okay to drink?

Do you have to prove the benefits before you can label something a superfood? It's a meaningless meme word.
