    • Eat Healthier, #BeBetter: Top 12 Malaysian Superfoods

    16 April 2018

    Accident Pro Prime

    WHAT ARE SUPERFOODS?

    A superfood is any food item that is extremely rich in beneficial nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy enzymes. Superfoods can help to treat or lower the risk of chronic disease by providing your body with power-packed essential nutrients.

    SUPERFOOD FUN FACTS

    The most popularly searched for superfoods in Malaysia are:

    Accident Pro Prime

    chia seeds

    Accident Pro Prime

    quinoa

    Accident Pro Prime

    spirulina

    Accident Pro Prime

    kale

    Accident Pro Prime

    avocado

    These superfoods do not grow natively in Malaysia and are imported from other countries. Hence it may be a little costlier than regular foods. However, there are local superfood options you can try that are as vitamin and nutrient rich – and more easily available, too!
