[DIYbio] Re: How difficult would it be to make a super food?

It is plausible, but I see two problems that would be very difficult to overcome at present. One individual metabolism, activity, and microbiome would likely make it impossible for a single source to provide ideal nutrition for any given individual. Especially considering that nutritional requirements change over time. The second thing is that the mineral values of a food source are dependent on the environment they are grown in, so you would need to craft a very specific growth media. If you grow this perfect food on something that is iron poor, then in turn your food would be iron deficient. Interesting idea!
