While the word “superfruit” is based more in marketing than science—no single exotic juice blend is a magic bullet for better health—some fruits have more disease-fighting compounds than others. Superfruits are typically those richer in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and unique plant chemicals, and consuming a variety of them may lower your risk for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
