The 8 Most Nutrient-dense Foods on Earth.

Berries
You must have heard that processed
foods provide little nutrition and a whole
lot of risks. But when it comes to the
good stuff — what are the best foods to
put into our bodies? While experts all
agree we need a variety of foods for a
healthy diet, do you know which are the
healthiest of the bunch? The answers may
surprise and delight you.
Spirulina
1. Spirulina: While the thought of eating
lake algae might gross you out, spirulina
is actually pretty tasty, especially blended
into a smoothie or hidden in a chocolate
bar. It is rich in protein, vitamins,
minerals, and carotenoids, antioxidants
that can help protect cells from damage.It
has more antioxidants than any other
food on earth and is loaded with protein
and minerals, making it the most nutrient
dense food. Spirulina is a cyanobacterium
that can be consumed by humans and
other animals.
kale
2. Kale: According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman,
kale is the most nutritious food, loaded
with minerals, vitamins, fiber and amino
acids, as well as important antioxidants
that reduce inflammation and can
prevent cancer. It’s also delicious and an
easy to prepare, versatile food. Kale (or
borecole) is a form of cabbage (Brassica
oleracea Acephala Group), with green or
purple leaves, in which the central leaves
do not form a head.
Hemp seeds
3. Hemp Seeds: What do you get when
you combine protein, fiber, essential
fatty acids, antioxidants, amino acids,
vitamins and minerals? Hemp, of course.
This easily digestible seed is versatile,
easy to use and extremely tasty, too.
Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, ground
into a meal, sprouted, made into hemp
milk (akin to soy milk), prepared as tea,
and used in baking.
Cacao beans
4. Chocolate: Yes, you read right. Cacao
beans are so nutrient-dense that
scientists haven’t even begun to identify
all the benefits in the little bean yet.
Don’t grab a Snickers though—the good
stuff is found only in raw cacao beans or
nibs (or really, really dark chocolate).
Minerals, vitamins and tons of
antioxidants are great for your heart,
skin, and release chemicals in the brain
that make you feel like you’re in love.
Broccoli
5. Broccoli: You should eat your broccoli if
you want a healthy digestive system and
to decrease your risk of cancer. Broccoli
has a wide range of yumminess too, from
soups and stews to stir fry. Broccoli is a
plant in the cabbage family, whose large
flower head is used as a vegetable.
Broccoli has been called a miracle food.
Spinach
6. Spinach: Skip the canned stuff and stick
with fresh or frozen for an antioxidant,
protein and fiber-rich burst of healthy
goodness. Fresh or cooked, spinach’s
sweet and hardy flavor brightens any
meal.
Chia seeds
7. Chia: The Aztec warriors may have died
out, but their legacy is alive and strong in
the chia seed. This yummy, unassuming
ancient favourite is loaded with omega
fats, protein and fibre. Dr. Weil says it’s a
better choice than flax because “chia is so
rich in antioxidants that the seeds don’t
deteriorate and can be stored for long
periods without becoming rancid.” Salvia
hispanica, commonly known as chia, is a
species of flowering plant in the mint
family, Lamiaceae, native to central and
southern Mexico and Guatemala.
8. Berries: Unlike other fruit, berries
tend to be less sugary and full of vital
vitamins, minerals and those free-radical
avenging antioxidants. Wild berries are
always a great choice, especially black
raspberries.
