Do You know Your superfruits?
Goji Berry is small red fruit which is harvested and usually later on dried, not processed anymore. Goji Berry is one of the superfruits thanks to the extreme number of amino acids and up to 21 different minerals (mainly zinc, iron, copper, germ, selenium and phosphorus). Goji Berry is the richest source of carotenoids from all the known foods in the world.
Maqui Berries are small purple berries that contain the largest portion of natural antioxidant, anthocyanin and polyphenol (micronutrients) of all known fruits in the world. That´s why Maqui Berry is sometimes nicknamed as a queen of superfruit. Maqui Berry is demanding for growing and therefore its price increases rapidly with demand. It is often used as a dietary supplement for cancer and other tumor diseases.
Guarana is a fruit which seeds contain caffeine-like substance (Guranin). Guarana is widely used to enhance physical and mental fitness, or when it is necessary to maintain maximum concentration. Guaranine is absorbed much more slowly into the bloodstream than caffeine, so its effects are much longer and more balanced.
Lucuma is visually similar to avocados, and from a nutritional point of view is one of the most valuable foods. It is also known as the “gold of the Incas”. Natural sweetness and a low glycaemic index make Lucuma the ideal alternative for sugar not only for diabetics. Lucuma is also often given to infants as a first solid diet.
Maca Root, also known as Peruvian Viagra, is the root of the maca plant, which has been widely consumed since the Incas for both nutritional and medical purposes. Maca is richly endowed with essential nutrients that provide an excellent source of energy. Maca is often used in the medical industry to treat male impotence and female frigidity.
Camu Camu fruit is one of the world´s richest sources of vitamin C, containing up to 60 times more vitamin C in one fruit than orange. Purple-red Camu berries growing on low bushes in the Amazon rainforest are rich in antioxidants but also in vitamins B1, B2, B3, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, protein, beta-carotene, amino acids and phytochemicals. Almost 80% of the Camu Camu grown fruits go into the pharmaceutical industry in the form of a powder.
