I never thought I would ever taste a fruit with such deliciously refreshing, zesty as well as extremely complex flavours. The juice of this fruit is just so unique, it bursts with flavours as you bite into it, a real flavour sensation for your palate . I am sure you have had a fruit salad before, but how about the flavours of the whole salad which are now for the first time available in one fruit, well that is what this rainbow fruit is like. I cannot believe how nutritious it is, if you eat the whole fruit you are consuming all five of your five a day!!!

After finishing Photo 101 and Blogging 101 I have decided to start another challenge as I loved the daily prompts. While looking through some of the wonderful blogs I have found since starting this blog in January I stumbled upon the A to Z April 2015 challenge and this really sparked my creative juices. I have done an A to Z challenge before, but this time I have decided to do it slightly differently, this time I am going to theme mine.

I am going to do an A to Z of food or to be more precise foods that are known as super foods 🙂 I don’t regard myself as a health freak, but I do think carefully about what I eat. There are many articles out there that rave about super foods and others such as this one in the Daily Telegraph that are rather sceptical.

Most websites give a general definition of super foods as food that provides you with the necessary nutrients that directly support your health and wellness. Compared with less nutritious foods – especially processed foods – super foods therefore pack more of a punch.

Typically, foods that are identified as ‘super’ meet most, if not all, of the following criteria:

• Good or excellent source of fibre, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients
• High in phytonutrients and antioxidant compounds, such as vitamins A and E and beta carotene
• May help reduce risk of heart disease and other health conditions
• Low in calorie density, meaning you get a larger portion size with a fewer number of calories
• Easy to get hold of
