Having grown up in New Zealand with an incredible organic garden filled with heritage vegetables and fruits, flowers and herbs, and wild food in abundance, I then moved to one of the biggest cities in the world, London, where it seemed that the only superfoods available were those that lined a health-food store’s shelves. After some time spent paying for expensive seaweeds, berries harvested from remote corners of the world, and pseudo cereals with price tags equivalent to extortion, I moved to the countryside, where I was promptly reminded that superfoods are all around us, local, and sometimes even free to forage.
Look around you, and find what is local to you. Not only will it be fresher and more potent, it will generally be cheaper, and probably more suited to what your body needs, as it will be seasonal. If you live in a city, go to farmers’ markets, or research foraging courses that are hosted in nearby countryside. Ignore the way the health industry has started marketing “superfoods” as a way of making big bucks. These are the real superfoods that you should look out for. It’s common sense really—just look at what traditional cultures have been eating for thousands of years: the wisdom is all there.
