Superfoods are nutrient-dense, whole foods that have high amounts of micronutrients and other unique compounds that have incredibly healing potential. Superfoods (like these exotic ones) might sound like they are impossible to find, or extremely costly, but many of these superfoods live in your local groceries and can be added to your shopping list for around $3 to $5. Note: All percentages quoted below are recommended daily values based on a 2000 calorie/day diet.

1) Broccoli

Superfood BroccoliI consider some vegetables personal friends of mine, and broccoli and I go WAY back! It’s one of my favorite super-charged vitamin-packed veggies because it’s so easy to cook, has a mild flavor, and is even kid-friendly.

Broccoli, part of the cruciferous family (the same as cabbage), has been touted as a superfood, and for good reason: It boasts cancer-fighting compounds along with a long list of essential nutrients, here are just a few:

1 cup of broccoli contains:

only 30 calories
205% of your daily recommended value (DV) of vitamin C
194% of Vitamin K
2.5 grams of fiber
14% folate

Enjoying more broccoli is easy. Have a broccoli bonanza and try a new recipe like garlic broccoli. Or try a delectable chicken stir-fry with chicken and broccoli.
