I have a food question for you to end the week.  What do blueberries, salmon, and walnuts have in common?  No, they’re not the ingredients to some fabulous new dish I’ve concocted.  They’re among the top foods which some nutritionists call “superfoods.”  The reason they’re labelled this way is that they are among the foods that contain high amounts of some substances – phytonutrients for those of you needing a big word for a crossword puzzle –  that might just confer a bunch of health benefits.  Blueberries, for example, have a ton of antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, potassium and vitamin C, which people who know about this stuff say lower your risk of heart disease and cancer and are also anti-inflammatory.  Impressive little guys!
