Most straight stories and nutrition facts on foods are online. From my experience the sources seem pretty dependable. Look it up.
I really really like chia seeds. They are a super food worthy of the title. I also like fish oil. The blend of the two gives a great balance of the two best omega 3fatty acids. The chia seeds also achieve what you want with the blood sugar stabilization and protein, and more! Otherwise I try to get my foods from sources close to home. If you like the quinoa my wife makes amazing quinoa burgers. I could get the recipe from her.
I'd be curious to hear if anyone really notices physical difference with the additions of things like chia, quinoa, flax etc... to their diet? Other than digestive issues I personally find most of its a placebo.
I do eat quinoa regularly but I don't find anything special about it, its just another grain like rice or oatmeal. I personally find legumes to be better when looking for proteins. The two together are tasty.
I have been wanting to makes some quinoa, black bean, sweet potato burrito's to use on my long runs but I keep forgetting to make them in advance.

The only superfood I know of is ribeye steak, grilled medium rare, plenty of garlic and salt. With grilled veggies on the side of course, oh, and don't forget the red wine. Very elating. Like meditation, but with chewing.
I tend to agree with Sid though, instead of eating grains or pseudograins, or neargrains, just eat more veggies. Unless you're running a marathon or something.
