Ingredient & nutrition reading
A little more to know
Superfoods,
explained.
What are superfoods?
Superfoods is a common name for foods valued for their nutrients. It is not a scientific classification or a regulated nutrition category. At Pure Green, it describes ingredients such as açaí, blueberries and chia seeds that bring variety, flavor and nutrients to our menu.
What is the difference between açaí and pitaya?
Açaí is a dark-purple palm fruit with an earthy berry flavor. Pitaya, also called dragon fruit, grows on a cactus and has a more delicate flavor. Pure Green uses organic açaí from Brazil and organic pink pitaya in fruit-blended bowls and smoothies.
Are Pure Green superfoods plant-based?
Many of our ingredients are plant-based, and Purple Haze uses plant-based protein. Grass-fed whey protein comes from milk and is not vegan. Recipes can also contain nuts or honey, so review each menu item and ask your local team about ingredients and allergens.
Where can I try these superfoods at Pure Green?
Explore our superfood smoothies, açaí and pitaya bowls, cold-pressed juices and shots. Each ingredient in this guide links to a menu item that includes it. Choose a Pure Green location to see its current menu and order.
What are the nutritional benefits of superfoods?
Different ingredients contribute different nutrients. Blueberries contain fiber and vitamin C, chia seeds provide fiber and plant omega-3 ALA, and whey supplies essential amino acids. The overall variety of foods you eat and the serving size matter more than any one ingredient.
