1. Quinoa
Quinoa is an edible seed-like plant that contains all of the nine essential amino acids. It is also gluten-free and contains a healthy amount of protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Get inspired and try out this superfood ingredient with the Quinoa Edamame Salad recipe here.
2. Turmeric
Superfood does not necessarily mean it has to be a fancy ingredient that you get from the imported section of the grocery store. Did you know that turmeric – the same ingredient that we often find in local dishes – contains high anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties? It can also help improve cognitive function. Here is a recipe for Ayam Percik Caesar Salad you can check out if you’re not sure how to use the ingredient!
3. Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are often used as a garnish in most of our dishes. We love how they give an extra crunch and nutty flavour in our salads! Although they may be small in size, they are an excellent source of iron and magnesium! Try out this quick and easy recipe here – Sesame Crusted Salmon with Roasted Sesame Dressing. P.S., this recipe offers double the nutrition as salmon is also a superfood!
4. Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are lovely as they are packed with both nutrients and carries a naturally sweet flavour. They also contain disease-preventing, cancer-fighting and immune-boosting properties. You can never go wrong with them. Try it out with this simple Roasted Sweet Potato Salad that will surely leave you with a happy tummy.
5. Avocado
One of the most well-known superfoods, avocadoes may be high in fat, but it is just the right kind of fat we need in our body. The special fruit is nutrition-packed, weight loss-friendly and is so versatile, you can add it into almost any kinds of recipes — salad or not.
