Anti-Inflammatory Superfoods to Add to Your Shopping List

27. Camu Camu: The Vitamin C Powerhouse

Camu camu is a sour Amazonian berry that contains one of the highest natural concentrations of vitamin C in the world—up to 60 times more than an orange. This makes it a potent antioxidant that helps fight free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production and immune health. It also contains ellagic acid and anthocyanins, both linked to reduced inflammation. How to enjoy it: Use camu camu powder in smoothies, yogurt bowls, or even homemade energy bites for a citrusy, nutrient-packed punch.

28. Freekeh: The Ancient Grain with Modern Benefits

Freekeh is an ancient whole grain made from young, green wheat that’s roasted and cracked. It’s high in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc. Its high fiber content supports gut health and lowers inflammatory markers, while its slow-digesting carbs help regulate blood sugar. Freekeh also contains resistant starch, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. How to enjoy it: Use freekeh in grain bowls, soups, or as a hearty base for salads. Its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a satisfying swap for rice or quinoa.
