If you take a look at a Mediterranean Diet food list, you’ll see many of options that are considered “superfoods”. A food is typically given superfood status when it contains lots of nutrients and reduces the likelihood of disease. Common examples include legumes, fruits and olives.

The superfood term has been used heavily by food companies to market their products and experts agree that no single food has the greatest health benefits of all. Instead, they recommend incorporating multiple superfoods into your diet by “focusing on a super plate“.
