Superfoods: how to choose
When shopping for superfoods, start by comparing products on their actual label details rather than choosing on name or pack design alone. Food and drink categories can include everyday nutrition products, snacks, oils, sweeteners and beverages. Comparing the nutrition panel and ingredient list is the most useful way to evaluate similar products.
Useful points to compare include:
- Nutrition: Compare energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre and sugar values per serving where relevant.
- Ingredients: Check sweeteners, flavours and allergens as well as the main ingredients.
- Pack and serving size: Consider portion size, number of servings and how you plan to use the product.
Vitamin360 lets you compare superfoods from different brands in one place. Always read the product description, ingredients, allergen information and directions before purchase, and choose a product that matches your dietary preferences and intended use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask an appropriate healthcare professional before using a new supplement.
