Canadian Superfoods: From Honey to Flax (and Beyond)

Fuel Grown Close to Home

Superfoods don’t have to be exotic powders with names you can’t pronounce. Canada is packed with nutrient-rich foods that athletes have been fuelling with for centuries. From golden honey to mighty flax seeds — and a few extras — these everyday staples prove that clean energy doesn’t need to be complicated.

Honey: Sweet Energy That Lasts

Honey isn’t just tasty — it’s functional. With natural sugars, antioxidants, and trace minerals, honey provides quick, clean energy that athletes love. It also helps keep Danger-Bars fresh for up to 6 months when stored cool and dry (sweet deal, right? 🍯).

Flax: Small Seeds, Big Impact

Flax is rich in omega-3s, fibre, and plant protein. It supports digestion, heart health, and steady energy. That’s why it’s in every Danger-Bar — tiny seeds with huge benefits.

Chia: Hydration + Endurance

Chia seeds may be small, but they pack fibre, healthy fats, and the ability to absorb water, helping with hydration and endurance. In other words: long-lasting fuel for athletes who don’t stop moving.

Oats: The Everyday Powerhouse

Oats are simple, slow-digesting carbs that release energy steadily. No spikes, no crashes — just dependable fuel. They also give Danger-Bar its chewy texture (and keep you full so you’re not raiding the pantry 20 minutes later).

Other Canadian Superfoods Worth Shouting Out

Beyond what’s inside a Danger-Bar today, there are plenty of Canadian-grown foods that fuel athletes naturally:

  • Blueberries – Antioxidant-rich and naturally sweet.

  • Maple Syrup – A mineral-packed sweetener with Canadian roots.

  • Cranberries – Tart, nutrient-dense, and loaded with antioxidants.

  • Lentils – Plant protein and fibre in every bite.
