Many foods qualify as "superfoods." But which single ingredient can be called The World's Healthiest Food?

• Cacao and cocoa are excellent sources of antioxidant polyphenols, which can protect heart and brain health. They also aid with cancer prevention and blood sugar stabilization.

• Mushrooms are a great source of vitamins C and D, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. They are also rich in ergothioneine, an amino acid which can reduce inflammation.

• Pomegranate seeds are chockful of dietary fiber, folate, protein, and vitamins C, K, B1 and B9. They also contain ellagitannins, bioactive polyphenols with anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties.

• Sauerkraut is fermented white cabbage with prebiotic and probiotic properties, which helps to improve the gut microbiome. It's also an excellent source of fiber, protein, folate, copper, manganese, potassium, plus vitamins C and K.

• Spinach supplies calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, chlorophyll, plus the powerful antioxidants alpha-linolenic acid and beta-carotene. A three-cup serving of spinach provides 45% of the recommended daily intake for folate, a powerful anti-diabetes B vitamin, along with 40% of the R.D.I. for glucose-lowering vitamin C, and a whopping 160% of the R.D.I. for vitamin A, which aids eye health.
