Black pudding has been listed as one of the new superfoods
It is a breakfast staple in many parts of the UK and its nearly carb free
The new superfood is loaded with protein, iron, calcium and zinc
It is perhaps 2016’s most unlikely new superfood.
But black pudding, a breakfast staple in the many parts of the UK, has been listed as one of the foods expected to soar in popularity because of its nutritional benefits.
Loaded with protein, potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as being practically carb free, it is expected to fly off the shelves.
It’s also rich in iron and zinc – two minerals frequently missing from modern diets. Iron is needed to make healthy blood cells and prevent anaemia.

Iron deficiency also leads to fatigue and poor concentration.
The breakfast staple joined seaweed, black beans, avocado oil, teff grains and birch water as key superfoods for 2016.
Darren Beale from MuscleFood.com said: ‘2015 saw healthy eating reach a new level and this year we predict this trend is only going to get bigger.
‘It’s been interesting to note how people are changing their habits depending on the new buzz words in clean eating.
‘Some of the foods have been on the up for a while like avocado oil and maca root, but others like mushrooms and black pudding have been a total surprise to us.
‘It’s great to have this new research available to find out the hidden qualities in food and we can’t wait to see how these new trends take off.’
