Super foods, why you need them

One popular super food is the Goji Berry. These berries come from China, are high in vitamin C, beta-carotene and iron. They're a sweet treat that top granola perfectly, and if you eat them, they're supposed to improve your mood.
Have you heard of Maca? It's a nutty, almost butterscotch-flavored super food that was used by the Incan warriors. It's known to fight disease and fatigue, boost stamina, and is also an aphrodisiac. Maca pairs really well with chocolate flavors and goes well in smoothies, and even in homemade truffles.
