Superfoods, defined as foods of high nutritional and biological value with adequate bioavailability and bioactivity within the body due to extraordinary concentrations of nutrients and bioactive ingredients, can play an important role in a global arena where the identification of healthier and cleaner nutrient sources is practically mandatory. Superfoods are particular kinds of foods capable of demonstrating different positive benefits involving the avoidance of different ailments, providing impetus to the immune system, and important macro- and micro-nutrients in adequate quantities. These are currently garnering a lot of attention as customers become more health concerned. In contrast to their great health or even therapeutic benefits, which stem from their lengthy history of use, the concept of superfoods remains poorly understood. Superfoods, or more specifically superfruits, are often composed of exotic fruits that are not well known around the world. Many superfoods claim a wide range of different health benefits, including the effective activity of anti-oxidants; the presence of an extraordinary amount of bioactive components such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolics, etc.; and/or potential impact on disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, etc., typically by effecting specific markers such as blood pressure, body mass index, or waist circumference, and fasting. This review offers light on the nutritional composition of some important superfoods, as well as their potential role in the prevention of many chronic diseases. This manuscript could help consumers incorporate superfoods into their diets more frequently and successfully.
