The Super Foods That Can Make A Super You

Often when we go to our local Harter House our plan is simple: Get what we like. We browse Harter House's fresh produce, our wonderful bakery, and then stand before Harter House's famous meat counter salivating over our famous Tri tip. These are all wondrous items Harter House is known for, but, here at World Flavors, we offer some extra special items that not only taste great, but are excellent for your overall health and well-being. Superfoods. The foods that help us lose weight, fight disease, live longer, and give us an overall sense of feeling healthy.

1. Quinoa. Welcome to the world of Ancient Grains. Although this is often mistaken for rice, it is actually a seed, making it both high in fiber (5 grams) and in protein (8 grams), while being extremely
low in fat. A bowl of quinoa can help control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and fight diabetes. A serving a day of this super food can truly extend your life. Try Ancient Harvest Organic Brand Quinoa, it's both delicious and gluten-free!


2. Almond butter. At Harter House World Flavors, we've taken the simple almond and discovered when it becomes a paste comparable to peanut butter, not only is it a decadent treat for the taste buds, but also a superfood loaded with heart-healthy fats, protein, fiber and antioxidants. This nut has been proven to lower cholesterol, help with weight loss, and stave off some cancers! At World Flavors, we have many brands to choose from, including, Blue Diamond Brand Almond Butter.

3. Edamame. Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, soybeans have been proven to be good for the heart, as well as, they are packed to the brim with protein, magnesium, fiber, and potassium. Soybeans can be a great substitute for meat as your main course. (Not too often, we are Harter House after all!) Try Wel*Pac Shelled Soybeans in the freezer section of World Flavors.

  1. Hi,

    I just finished creating an infographic that I think is a good fit for your readers on Harter House World Flavors.

    It's called "7 Superfoods That Help You Live Longer." You can see it here.

    I wanted to get in touch because while researching, I read the post you wrote about Superfoods, The Super Foods That Can Make A Super You, so I wanted to get in touch to see if you'd like to use my infographic, too.

    I put HTML code that you can copy and paste below the image to make it easy to put on your site. If you'd like a different size, please let me know and I'll make it for you.

    Thank you!
