Superfood? Leave it to the EU to come up with a term
no one can figure out. I would have thought it was
genetically altered at the very least.

I think it arose as a marketing term in the U.S.
for various dietary supplements, such as dried
_Spirulina_ algae. Blech!

Since it can mean anything, I'd call red wine
and dark chocolate (70% or more) superfoods.

the only way you can tell if a food is a genuine superfood is to
expose it to kryptonite. (if you're an experimental-type cook, try
red kryptonite.)

Snrk! I think blackberries are considered a super food, I just don't
remember why...
