Golden Berries (Incan Berries): Superfruit from Peru
 |
Why were these little fruits so revered by the Incas?
|
| These berries are a nutritional powerhouse! Golden berries are packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, niacin and phosphorous. They also contain pectin which supports healthy digestion, can help lower cholesterol and can also prevent surges in blood glucose, making it a great snack for those with blood sugar sensitivities. Incan berries are also rich with bioflavonoids, also known as vitamin P, which studies have shown to demonstrate anti-sclerotic, anti-viral, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine and antioxidant properties. Incan berries also contain about 16% protein, which is high for a fruit, making them an ideal for vegans and vegetarians. |
The Sunfood Difference:
|
| Our certified organic Incan Golden Berries are grown high in the Andes by indigenous farmers who have been perfecting the art of growing this special fruit for centuries. Growing Golden Berries at just the right altitude is crucial as the fluxuation in temperatures between night and day regulate the flavor of the fruit.Golden Berries grow on a vine and are covered by a thin papery cape. The capes are removed and the berries are gently dried at low temperatures to preserve nutrients and keep vitamins and minerals intact.Our Incan Golden Berries have a mouth watering, tangy, sweetness that you’ll love (and kids love them too!).Watch out for low quality berries. A dark brown color can be an indication that the berries were dried at a high heat, that they are not fresh, or that they were stored improperly. You’ll notice that our Incan Berries are bright orange and gold, just like the color of the fruit on the vine. |
