I originally got this book simply as a reference.  My wife is now working on a health and fitness business project (Quest Health and Fitness on Facebook if you want to know more).  As a result our diet has been substantially upgraded with superfoods - most notably an assortment of vegetables that had not previously been a normal part of our diet.  We new a lot of "what to eat" from her "Ultimate Reset" that she did, and it has a lot of great recipes.  What I was left wondering, though, was "why this vegetable?" and "what does this do for me?"  For the answers to those questions, a friend referred me to this book.What I had expected was basically a list of "Name of Food, Nutrients In Food" and a little bit of information about it.  I remember thinking before I started reading "I wonder if there's a book that will have some superfood recipes so I can include some of these...."  Lo and behold, THIS book has recipes and ideas for how to include each food.  Not only does that make it twice the resource I thought I was getting (and double the deal in my opinion), but there was even more!  It comes with a list of demonstrated or supposed benefits - some of which is already solidly backed up by research, and some of which is still being looked at in more detail.For me, the little extras - the sort of "self-help" bonus on some of the letters that did not have a vegetable superfood was a nice little bonus, too.
