If you are not familiar with superfoods, this series is a great way to learn about what they are and how to include them in your diet.I like how this book walked me through the introduction of different legumes that are considered superfoods--foods that are nutrient dense. Some of them I had never heard of before--ones like yard long beans and moth beans.The nutritional values are listed for each legume; health benefits for each type; special notations if warranted (like, "check with your doctor before consuming broad beans because they contain a substance that converts to dopamine and dopamine is one of the medications used to treat Parkinson's"); recipe suggestions on how to cook each one; websites you can consult for recipe ideas; and reasons throughout defining why you need to consider adding certain legumes to your diet.I highly recommend Victoria Lancer's series on superfoods. It will expand your knowledge of foods available to eat, why they are good for you, and not be afraid to buy some of them the next time you go grocery shopping!
