5 Fall Superfoods You'll Want to Devour This Year

Over the last decade, one word has been popping up in magazines, websites, and even grocery stores (no, we're not talking about keto): superfoods. From kale to blueberries to salmon, a number of foods have received this title for the various nutrients they provide. And, as luck would have it, each season comes with its own crop of fresh, nutrient-dense items that are waiting to be incorporated into your weeknights dinners or holiday feasts. Take fall superfoods, for example. Although you may much on beets and Brussels sprouts year-round, they are at their peak when the leaves turn colors. So why not take advantage of their seasonality, while also reaping their nutritional benefits?

It's worth noting, however, that no one food will improve your health and protect you from disease. As Caroline Praderio wrote for INSIDER in 2018, the term "superfood" is, more often than not, used as a marketing concept. But this doesn't take away from the fact that these foods are, in fact, good for you. Take a look at these fall "superfoods" that not only taste great, but benefit your body and mind.
