Black pudding has taken a place among the so called superfoods.
The breakfast roll staple has been listed by the online health retailer MuscleFood.com, as a food that will become a 'superstar of 2016’.
It now takes its place alongside the likes of quinoa, kale and black beans as the newest addition to a balanced, healthy diet.
There is no legal definition of what makes a ‘superfood’ but the term is used to describe foods with supposed health and nutritional benefits.
