KEY INFORMATION

Natures Superfoods Organic Premium Camu-Camu Berry Powder comes from the Amazon rainforest. Camu-camu has one of the highest Vitamin C content of 7-10% (lab-tested) among all fruits & berries. There are various grades of Camu-Camu Berry Powder and we have chosen the premium grade where only the skin and pulp of the berries are used to make the powder; the seeds (which do not have Vitamin C) are discarded. The Vitamin C content is concentrated in the skin and pulp of the berries. Hence our premium Camu-Camu powder costs a little more than other brands, but you get so much more Vitamin C with every teaspoon.
Traditionally, in Peru, the sour Camu-Camu berries are made into a juice for consumption to improve the immune system, fight viral infections and to maintain optimal eye, skin and gum health. Camu-camus most notable nutritional benefit is in its vitamin-C content, which is about 30-50 times more vitamin C than an orange by weight.

PREPARATION

The taste of Camu-Camu powder is sour-ish and bitter (unsweetened). Hence it is best used in recipes which can mask the taste of the powder for example in citrusy juices, honey water, smoothies or recipes which have a strong flavor. Just use 1/2 (half) teaspoon at a time if you do not like it bitter.
1) Mix 1/2 -1 teaspoon (2-4g) powder into honey water, smoothies, juices, dressing, desserts, etc. Not suitable for cooking/baking recipes.
2) Sprinkle a little powder on top of yoghurt, granola or raw desserts to top up your daily Vitamin C requirement.

Recommended daily intake: One teaspoon (4g) – provides more than 200mg of full-spectrum Vitamin C. Increase to 2 teaspoons (8g a day) if you are coming down with a cold/viral infection / flu.
