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.
Light wines are not just a summer fad. They are a response to mindful drinking, all-day dining, office lunches, after-work and fine casual concepts – especially from September onwards, when kitchens switch to forest, mushrooms, pumpkin and roots and guests want to enjoy their food more consciously.
Genusspunkt shows how “light” works without losing depth, which service rules ensure sales – and how three specific wines can immediately create curated experiences on the wine list.
