Superfoods have gained immense popularity in the public eye, largely due to their perceived health benefits and cultural allure. However, much of the literature surrounding these foods is based on uncritical endorsements of health claims without subjecting them to rigorous scientific scrutiny. Superfoods: Cultural and Scientific Perspectives delves into these food products from a comprehensive scientific and cultural lens, offering a balanced and evidence-based examination of each individual superfood. The book begins by discussing the concept of "superfoods" as a category and then proceeds to explore specific superfoods, including avocados, chocolate, wine, berries, and fish oil. Each chapter is organized systematically, providing a historical context of the superfood, a review of current nutritional research on its health benefits, an exploration of related scientific disciplines to deepen understanding, social considerations related to the superfood, such as sustainability, environmental health concerns, agricultural issues, fair trade practices, and marketing strategies. Additionally, one to three recipes featuring the superfood are included to showcase its culinary applications. By presenting a fusion of scientific and cultural perspectives, Superfoods becomes an invaluable resource for scholars, industry professionals, and general readers alike.
