"Superfood" isn't just a marketing term in 2026—it's a designation for foods with exceptional nutrient-to-calorie ratios. Here are the top ten powerhouses we're sourcing for our customers this season.
1. Sea Buckthorn
A resilient coastal berry that's packed with Omega-7 fatty acids and more Vitamin C than twelve oranges. We're sourcing ours from the rugged northern coastlines, bringing a tart, tropical-like punch to your morning smoothies.
2. Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Higher in anthocyanins than its green cousin, this heirloom variety is a powerhouse for cardiovascular health. Our 2026 intelligence report ranks this as the #1 vegetable for nutrient absorption when lightly steamed.
Expert Verdict: The Synergy Effect
"Superfoods shouldn't be eaten in isolation. In 2026, we're focusing on 'Nutrient Synergy'—how these foods work together. For example, pairing our Turmeric root with black pepper increases its bioavailability by 2,000%."
3. Lion's Mane Mushrooms
The "smart mushroom" of 2026. Known for neuroprotective properties, we're seeing a massive trend toward Lion's Mane as a coffee alternative or a savory meat substitute in plant-based mains.
