Super Grasses & Super Foods Blend

This is a marketing term, not a specific ingredient. It refers to a mix of various plant-based ingredients, often including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grasses, that are considered nutrient-dense. These ingredients are typically dried and powdered for use in food products.

Manufacturers use these blends to add a perceived nutritional boost and a 'superfood' marketing angle to products. They are commonly found in powdered drink mixes, protein powders, and baked goods mixes. The goal is to enhance the product's appeal to health-conscious consumers.

The FDA does not have a specific regulatory category for 'superfoods' or 'supergrasses.' The health benefits depend entirely on the individual ingredients within the blend. Some ingredients may offer vitamins, minerals, or antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA evaluate specific food ingredients, but this blend itself is not evaluated as a single entity. Evidence for the health benefits of many individual 'superfoods' is still developing.
