Ep. 25 - Superfoods - a podcast by Sarah D. & Olivia J.

If you’ve been inside a Whole Foods in the last five years, you’ve probably seen items labeled “superfoods.” But what are superfoods, and are they really worth their hefty price tags? In this episode, we break down some of the most popular superfoods and other growing food trends.

WE’RE BACK! From holidays to illnesses to job transitions and more, our time away has been a real party. But we’re excited to pick up where we left off. We’ll be giving you the rest of season 3 every two weeks, starting now.
