David Wolfe talks about Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future

($18.95). Superfoods are vibrant, nutritionally dense foods that have recently

become widely available and which offer tremendous dietary and healing

potential. In this lively, illustrated overview, well-known raw-foods guru David

Wolfe profiles delicious and incredibly nutritious plant products such as goji

berries, hempseed, cacao beans (raw chocolate), maca, spirulina, bee products,

and a host of others. As powerful sources of clean protein, vitamins, minerals,

enzymes, antioxidants, good fats and oils, essential fatty and amino acids, and

other nutrients, they represent a uniquely promising piece of the nutritional

puzzle. Each superfood is described in detail, accompanied by easy and delicious

recipes. This accessible guide presents persuasive arguments, based on sound

science, for the pivotal role of superfoods in promoting nutritional excellence,

health and well-being, beauty enhancement, sustainable agriculture, and the

transformation of diet, lifestyle, and planet.
