Did you know that there are powerful superfoods you have never heard of?

If you know about superfoods, then you’ve probably heard about the wonders of kale and spinach—not to mention the assorted fruits, vegetables, and meats that can make for a very nutritious meal without adding too many calories.

However, there are many more superfoods that make or contribute to good, healthy meals.

In this post, we will explore 7 powerful foods that could change your life. They might not be as popular as some of the other vegetables and fruits in grocery stores, but they all contain powerful nutrients and minerals.

Here’s to learning about these powerful superfoods! Because knowledge is true power and now after reading this article you can start to include these in your diet!

Or at least you’ll notice them in the grocery store the next time you go!

1 – Sea Moss

Sea moss is a very nutritious food that provides plenty of vitamin B2 and B12, plus a bit of calcium. It also contains a lot of other nutrients, depending on the type of sea moss you get.

Sea moss is powerful for your immune system, and it can also be used as a supplement to help with some chronic diseases.

It’s believed that sea moss may have anti-tumor properties because of its high content in B12!

If you want to see if sea moss is powerful enough for you or not (it’s powerful!), try adding this superfood into your diet today! It might just change your life.

Sea moss capsules are different from sea moss gel, as the capsules don’t come in a lot of flavors, but each type offers the same amount and type of nutrients.

2 – Turmeric

Turmeric is most useful as a spice, but a single tablespoon also adds a lot of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates to a dish. The spice also contains several healthy minerals, such as manganese and phosphorus.

The powerful spice can be used to help with arthritis and blood sugar, but it is most powerful when consumed as a supplement or addition to recipes.

Much like sea moss, turmeric has anti-tumor properties because of the high B12 content.

Turmeric also improves digestion and helps circulation (alongside its powerful antioxidant qualities).

In terms of health benefits, you should try adding some more turmeric powder or ground tumeric in dishes for flavor. Tumeric can be great alternative to other spices such as salt and pepper.

This powerful food could definitely improve your immune system and energy levels while giving you that spicy kick you’re looking for!

3 – Amaranth

Amaranth is a grain very similar to quinoa in terms of shape, and it was a staple food for many ancient civilizations. It’s naturally gluten free, and it contains a lot of protein and fiber; it also hosts a variety of mineral and antioxidants. 

Amaranth is powerful because it’s an adaptogen, meaning that when you consume amaranth, your body will adjust to the many minerals and other powerful nutrients.

This makes this powerful superfood a great addition to any meal or recipe!

If you’ve never heard of amaranth before—now you have! This grain can be added into recipes or consumed as an alternative for breakfast cereal (it even tastes good in baked goods).

For those who are sensitive to gluten but still want some grains, try transforming your favorite oats recipe with some amaranth flour. You might just find yourself loving something new while also getting more energy from these powerful ingredients!

4 – Pu-Erh Tea

Pu-erh tea is a special type of tea similar to green tea or black tea.

Although it has a nutrient value similar to that of regular tea, it can do amazing things for the body: some studies show that pu-erh tea might reduce the size of fat cells in the body and even boost liver function. 

Pu-erh tea is powerful if you drink it after every meal (alongside other dishes) for the best effects!

This superfood is also great when consumed as an alternative to coffee in the morning, since pu-erh tea contains much less caffeine than its counterpart coffee or black tea.

If you’re looking for a powerful breakfast cereal that will keep your stomach full but not make you feel sluggish during the day, try drinking some pu-erh with almond milk before work!

This powerful food might give your immune system a boost while giving you energy from natural sources like almonds, which contain plenty of vitamin E and protein.

5 – Bee Pollen

Honey isn’t the only thing bees make that’s worth eating: bee pollen is great for human consumption.

With proteins and carbohydrates along with lipids and vitamins, bee pollen can give a variety of amazing and healthy nutrients when eaten. 

Bee pollen is also powerful because it’s an anti-inflammatory and has powerful antioxidants.

It also reduces allergies in the body while giving you nutrients to help with your immune system, making this superfood a great addition for anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies.

Bee Pollen can be easily added into any meal or recipe: enjoy some pumpkin pancakes that contain bee pollen, or add it to oatmeal along with antioxidant rich cinnamon!

You might just find yourself wanting to eat more powerful superfoods like these after trying them once!

6 – Hemp Seeds

Industrial hemp isn’t just a food that people grow for the strong fibers the plant can provide.

They also grow it for the nutritional seeds that give a nutty flavor to any dish you add them to.

The seeds hold great amounts of protein and an assortment of other vitamins and minerals.

Hemp seeds are also powerful because they contain a lot of Omega- proteins, which can be converted into essential fatty acids in the body.

This superfood is powerful for those who struggle to consume enough protein during their daily life: add hemp seeds onto overnight oats or mix them with homemade granola!

They might just give you that energy boost you’re looking for while giving your immune system an improvement as well.

The best time to consume this powerful food would be in the morning, when people need a serving of healthy fat and protein before they start their day (since many diets lack these nutrients).

Consider adding some hemp seeds on top of oatmeal or mixing it into a smoothie – both ways could provide you with powerful newfound energy!

7 – Pluot

Pluot is an odd food that’s a mixture of two different fruits.

The plum and the apricot make the pluot what it is today: a delicious food that boosts the immune system. Each fruit is full of vitamin C and A, with some potassium and fiber for your body. 

The powerful thing about pluots is that they can be eaten in the morning or at night.

In the morning, you could try adding some chopped pluot to your cereal for a powerful breakfast while energizing you during the day. If it’s evening and you need something before bedtime, then consider mixing up a smoothie with pluot chunks!

This powerful food might give your immune system a boost while giving you energy from natural sources!
