Superfoods contain one or more nutrients in exceptionally high quantities. This sets them apart from conventional foods. Superfoods are regarded as wholesome natural products and are also used in many cultures to cure illnesses. My personal top 5 at a glance:
They are the miracle cure of the Maya. Chia seeds score highly in the categories of protein, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. Vegans love these little miracle seeds because they contain more protein than cereals and even more calcium than dairy products. They consist of almost 18% omega-3 fatty acids. This makes them an absolute superfood that has a positive effect on health.
Chia seeds are also a great supplement if you want to lose some weight. They can absorb a lot of liquid and keep you full for a long time.
Psyllium seeds are grown in India and Pakistan. The husks of psyllium seeds in particular are a proven remedy for problems with the gastrointestinal tract. With the ability to bind 50 times their weight in water, they can help you lose weight. Another plus point is their satiating effect due to their swelling. They fill the stomach, keep you full for a long time and are low in calories. With their super-high fibre content of 72g per 100g, they will win over even the last superfood skeptics.
Not only is cinnamon delicious, it's also full of antioxidants, helps reduce inflammation and improves sensitivity to insulin. Here's the catch: the cheap cinnamon most commonly found in the supermarket is not the best. Use Ceylon cinnamon, which is of course more expensive, but better for your health.
Next on my “delicious and nutritious” list are blueberries, the antioxidant-rich superfood that contains phytochemicals and vitamins C, K and manganese. They taste great on muesli, in baked goods or frozen. Together with kefir, they make a filling and healthy snack.
Oh, avocados. Avocados are a bit pricey in most states, but worth it - after all, they're full of healthy fats, folate, vitamin C and vitamin K. Turn avocados into guacamole, put them on toast or just put some pink Himalayan salt on them and eat them whole.
Coffee Day on October 1 is known worldwide and offers companies an ideal stage to generate attention. Instead of classic discount campaigns, brands can use this occasion to offer customers emotional experiences – and thus remain in their memories for a long time.
Plant-based cuisine has long been more than just a trend. It is a paradigm shift that is also changing the world of haute cuisine. But while vegan protein sources such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan have found their way into many kitchens, one dimension often remains underestimated: the potential of spices. Without nature’s flavor carriers, many dishes remain flat. It is only through the careful use of spices that depth, texture, and character are created.
From digital voice assistants to AI-supported training, the hotel and restaurant industry is facing a wave of innovation that is rethinking efficiency, sustainability, and the guest experience in equal measure. Four current initiatives show how future technologies are already changing operations today – and what opportunities businesses can derive from them.
