Exotic BIO Fruit Powders

Our Lucuma comes from Oxapampa, an area which lies at 2000m in the Peruvian Andes mountains. The Lucuma tree, which can reach heights of 20 metres, was already being cultivated before the 13th century and is known as the “Gold of the Incas“. Lucuma fruit itself is recognisable by its brown skin and intensive yellow fruit pulp with its two relatively large stones. It is about the size of an orange and tastes like mango. ORGANIC Lucuma powder is ideal in drinks, tablets and smoothies due to its light sweetness, neutralises strong and bitter tastes and is filling.

240 g organic yacon powder (sufficient for approx. 3 weeks). Origin: High plateau of the Andes in Peru About the product Yacon, also called "diabetic potato", consists of almost 40% inulin and fructooligosaccharides, the soluble dietary fibres with prebiotic effect. They enter the intestine undiluted, where they serve as food for "good" bacteria and thus promote the development of a healthy intestinal flora. The most important prerequisite for good general health. By the way, yacon ensures healthy and strong bones due to its high calcium content.

Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a white flowering shrub from the Myrtle family of plants, which grows in the west Amazon area, in particularly in Peru and Brazil. The Camu Camu fruit is a spherical berry ranging from10 to 40 mm in diameter and is red to violet in colour often with two cores. Along with the Acerola cherry the Camu Camu is ranked among the plants with the highest vitamin C content in the world and has an unusually high concentration of secondary plant substances. Effects Due to the fact that the human body cannot produce vitamin C itself, it is important to make sure that we have a regular intake of vitamin C. Camu-Camu is an ideal form of vitamin C, which along with Acerola counts as the fruit with the most vitamin C. Unlike Acerola cherries, Camu Camu berries can be made into 100 % pure fruit powder without any other additions.

Yacon is a brown to violet tuber from the Andes which can grow to a weight of up to 1 kg. From the outside it looks like a radish or sweet potato. It has been regarded as a useful staple food for decades by the natives. The tender tuber flesh is eaten as a vegetable, salad or simple raw. The yacon tuber is similar in taste to a refreshing sweet honey melon or pear. Yacon is not regarded as a vegetable but - because of its high levels of sugar – as a fruit. The yacon tuber is also regarded as the "diabetic's potato" due to its blood sugar sinking effects. Yacon is suitable as a sugar substitute. Reasons: Yacon has a high content of inulin and oligofructose, which belong to the so-called "fructooligo-saccharides", natural sugar substitutes. Their sweetening power has hardly any calories and is 30-50 times higher than that of conventional sugar. The high fibre content of inulin and oligofructose ensures a quick feeling of satiety and is therefore ideal for weight reduction and diabetes
