The origin of Superfoods

The term of Superfoods appeared in the early part of 20th Century as a strategy to market bananas, first introduced by The United Fruit Company. They used the term Superfoods to promote the practicality of bananas as a daily source of cheap, easily digestible nutrition. 

"Banana; add it to cereal; have one with lunch; even add it to a salad or fry it up for dinner – the fruit’s many uses made it virtually super"
