    One Singular Sensation! RDA Boosting Super Foods List.

    Here are a few surprising super foods that when you eat just one piece or one serving, give you 100% RDA (or close to) of an important nutrient.

    Here are a few hints:

    Just one piece of a certain type of nut gives you over 700% RDA of selenium.

    Just one portion of a sea food gives you 85% your RDA of the hard-to-get nutrient zinc!

    Just one of a certain fruit gives 117% RDA of Vitamin C! And it’s not an orange…

    Click ahead to see the complete list………

    Selenium
    Just one tiny Brazil nut gives you 776% RDA of Selenium!

    Zinc
    Just one oyster gives you 85% your RDA of Zinc!

    Vitamin A
    Just one small 5″ long carrot gives you 168% RDA of Vitamin A.
    Just one medium sweet potato gives you 475% RDA of Vitamin A.

    Vitamin C
    Just one kiwi gives you 117% RDA of Vitamin C!
    Just one orange gives you 116% RDA of Vitamin C!

    Vitamin E
    Just ½ cup of almonds gives you 100% RDA of Vitamin E.
    Just 1 Tbsp. wheat germ oil gives you 100% RDA of Vitamin E.

    Potassium
    Drink about 1 cup of coconut water, 5 times a day and you have 100% RDA of Potassium!

    Just one cup of pineapple gives you 91% RDA of Manganese!

    Iron
    Just one cup of lentils gives you 95% RDA of Iron.
