Superfood Bargains


While a previous video by Dr. Greger containing this information is no longer publicly available, here's a list of the most affordable antioxidant-rich foods based on antioxidant units per dollar. It's worth noting that Dr. Greger's recent book, "How Not to Age," may cover similar content.
  1. Broccoli sprouts
    • Broccoli sprouts contain a much higher amount of sulforaphane compared to mature broccoli (27 cups of broccoli equivalent in 1 cup of sprouts). Sulforaphane is a compound with potential health benefits.[6,7]
  2. Purple cabbage
    • Cabbage contains precursors of sulforaphane, the most active natural activator of Nrf2. Fermented vegetables contain many lactobacilli, also potent Nrf2 activators. 
    • It is proposed that fermented cabbage may enhance Nrf2-associated antioxidant effects, which is helpful in mitigating COVID-19 severity.[3]
  3. Cinnamon 
  4. Cloves
  5. Acai
  6. Artichoke
  7. Cranberries
  8. Goji berries
  9. Apple
  10. Pecan
