SuperFoodie.org ranks the maqui berry on it’s list of 3 hot new super foods you don’t want to miss! Also on the list, in number 2 and 3 positions are blackcurrant and muscadine grape, respectively.
Blackcurrants are known for the polyphenols, anthocyanins and omega 3’s. Muscadine grapes can withstand heat better than other grapes, and are known for their polyphenols and resveratrol content. Resveratrol has some promising research behind it and is associated with longevity and preventing cell destruction.
And we come back to the #1 super food to watch, the maqui berry. Slowly but surely there seems to be more interest in this berry. The machine behind the acai berry hype is slowing down, thanks in part to the massive amounts of spam around the internet, and the lower tolerance people have for those types of messages and websites. When that passes, the focus will turn back to antioxidant content, and I believe, we’ll hear a lot more about resveratrol in the near future.
