Today we're going to be talking about super foods-foods which pack a really dense and powerful nutrient punch, says Chef Jonathan Locke. In this video, Chef Locke explains why the following are so healthful to eat: avocados, black beans, blueberries, broccoli, cantaloupe, dark chocolate, oats, onions, salmon, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and yogurt. He then proceeds to use a variety of these super foods as he makes oatmeal pancakes, a quesadilla, a hot Asian salad, muesli, and a sweet potato casserole.
