Berries
Price: $3.99 per 6 ounces of fresh blueberries; $9.96 for 48 ounces of frozen blueberries
If the bright colors and flavors of berries make them one of your favorite foods, we have good news for you: They’re also superfoods for your heart. A growing body of research indicates that berries have a significant impact on heart health. Not only are they high in fiber, like other fruits, but they also owe their colors and flavors to a range of compounds called polyphenols, which might impact the risk of heart attacks.
How to eat them
Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries are all readily available, either fresh or frozen, when you want to be creative. Take advantage of their color, flavor and juiciness by dropping handfuls of berries into your morning cereal or smoothie, or using them as a garnish on salads or low-fat desserts. With minimal cooking, they also make high-impact sauces for fish, poultry and other lean proteins.
