SuperFoods

Have you heard of "superfoods?" These are foods that are exceptionally rich in nutrients. Here are two delicious and versatile superfoods to try adding to your family's menu this week:

  • Spinach. Spinach is great in salads, pasta, on sandwiches, or in burritos. Packed with fiber and nutrients, spinach also has plenty of fiber, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, and protein. This superfood has been shown to combat heart disease, certain cancers, and stroke.
  • Salmon. Grilled or smoked, salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and helps decrease your risk of heart disease and some cancers. Other healthy fish varieties include cod, tuna, and halibut.
