Methodology
UK’s Favourite Superfoods: 10 superfoods were selected based on their appearance in online media’s superfood predictions of 2017. Average monthly search volume for each superfood was then acquired from Google’s Keyword Planner, foods were then ranked accordingly.
UKs Superfood Search Capitals: Used Google Trends data to find the top 10 ranked cities for each of the top 10 superfoods found in the previous ranking. Cities were then given a score based on how many of the top 10 lists they appeared in and a weighted score based on their average position. Total scores were added up to give the overall top 10.
