7 Superfoods From Around the World
3. Freekeh
What it is: Don’t worry! Freekeh isn’t nearly as “freekeh” as it sounds. This superfood grain is a Middle Eastern and North Africa staple and is a great alternative to rice or quinoa.
How it’s healthy: Freekeh’s fiber and protein combination provides a more complete grain than most other grain varietals. Each serving has six grams of protein, four grams of fiber and just 130 calories.
How to try it: There are whole companies that make getting “freekeh” easy, like Freekeh Foods. We love its Rosemary Sage Freekeh, but you can also buy freekeh in bulk at natural health food markets.
