Superfood means food that is rich in nutrient compounds such as antioxidants, fibre, or fatty acids that have high essential nutrient composition towards human health. Fruits and vegetables (F&V) are part of the healthiest superfood category and play an important role to reduce the number of fats in the human body that can promote constant health and weight loss. Poor eating behavior might cause people to have obesity. If they are unable to take care of their diet then it can cause their health diagnoses such as diabetes, hypertension, and other very risky diseases. Some people have the perception that by consuming F&V, they can lose some weight. Perhaps, they need to know the exact nutrients and benefits contained in the F&V whether they will give effective results or vice versa. Hence, this study aims to identify the most superfood for F&V that can promote weight loss to the consumers which can be implemented by the foodservice industry later for more choice of a healthy menu. The methodology that has been used is from secondary data and the databases were mainly accessed from different online resources such as Google Scholar, Emerald, ResearchGate, Science Direct, ProQuest academia.edu, and ebooks, to get accurate data. All linked accordingly to create a complete comprehension review based on the objectives aimed.
