We all know that certain foods have the vitamins and nutrients to boost immunity and improve overall health and well-being. These “superfoods” have been featured on Oprah!, in bestselling books, and now in a pocket guide you can take with you shopping.

The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Superfoods is part of the book series that assumes you are not really an idiot but someone who may not know all the facts. Filled with simple explanations of over 20 superfoods, this guide book offers information and advice about why these foods are so good for you, where to get them, how to prepare them, and even daily requirements for the right amounts of vitamins and minerals for optimum health.

Each chapter focuses on a different type of superfood group, such as proteins or spices or fruits, and explains the extraordinary benefits of said foods. There is also handy nutrition information and interesting factoids about the superfoods, and a great glossary and resource section at the back of the book for learning more about where to buy the highest quality food products.

This isn’t rocket science. Many of these foods are obviously nutritious, while others may surprise you a bit with their potency for good health. But this is information we all should know, if we don’t already. Having a book that can fit into your purse or pocket when you head to the market is a great way to make sure you are buying the foods that can truly take your health from good…to super.
