Superfoods, but in this case it would be better to talk about normal foods that are easy to find on the supermarket shelves (or almost). We can therefore define them as “cheap superfoods”.

According to some nutritionists, these functional foods should never be lacking in our pantry and on our table , because they provide us with all the nutrients we need for a healthy and proper diet.

These cheap superfoods  have unique properties , for example they contain a unique profile of antioxidants, micronutrients and fiber that are crucial for eating better and feeling better.
Here are the superfoods that should never be missing in our home.
The advantage is that they are also available in the supermarket and as I said they don’t cost much.

ECONOMIC SUPERFOODS ACCORDING TO NUTRITIONISTS

1. organic eggs.
   Eggs have all the essential amino acids, and are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a nutritionally complete food, but quality must always be sought: yes to organic and free-range eggs.
2. extra dark chocolate.
   Rich in antioxidants, it is good for the skin and heart also for its monounsaturated content.
   More than 80% bitter cocoa is to be preferred, but also in the raw variety (raw chocolate, raw cocoa) because the mineral profile remains unaltered. Cocoa is cheap and can be used for homemade creams and desserts.
3. Greek yogurt.
   It is high in protein and low in lactose, and is perfect not only for breakfast due to its satiating power, but also in sweet and savory dishes. Even in the skim version it is hypersatiating.
   It can be replaced by cottage cheese.
4. sprouts.
   The sprouts are nutritious, they give us a good supply of vegetable proteins, but they are also rich in polyphenols, vitamin E, iron, folic acid, riboflavin, vitamin K, copper and zinc.
   Absolutely to be added in salads, and in our vegetable side dishes, but also in association with fish and meat or legumes.
5. carrots and cucumbers.
   Two versatile and inexpensive vegetables that are also very easy to digest and well tolerated by everyone. Very rehydrating, in the case of carrots we have beta-carotene, in the case of cucumbers small amounts of B vitamins, potassium and a high water content.
6. almond, hazelnut, cashew, pumpkin or sesame butter.
   A teaspoon a day (or about 10 grams) is enough to help us introduce more minerals into the diet such as zinc, selenium, copper.
   The important thing is that it is organic, with no added sugars, stored in the dark and cool to avoid oxidation.
