Alive N Vibrant superfood powders are made from the highest quality ingredients and are all sourced from verified and certified organic sources. We believe in adding only the very best ingredients and on top of their quality, we carefully selected the included ingredients based on their unique benefits and nutrition content.
This week, we want to highlight the benefits of one of our favorite ingredients in our Berry Superfruit Powder, Camu camu! Camu camu is a small, Amazonian fruit about the size of a crab apple. It is small and round and it’s skin ranges from deep purple to a blend of green and red, much like an apple and has a pit in the center. This super fruit grows in Peru and Brazil and a few other countries near the Amazon forest. Off the tree, camu camu is said to taste like a very sour grape.
So what makes this fruit so special? Camu camu has one of the highest contents of vitamin C in a fruit and is packed full of flavonoids which work as powerful antioxidants to help fight inflammation.
According to the USDA, the following nutrients are found in a 100g serving:
33.3g Fiber
867mg Potassium
4800mg Vitamin C
6.67mg Niacin
Camu camu is a unique and powerful fruit we love!
