Camu camu berry powder, raw, organic
An ecstatic food that we've been dipping our fingers into for years (but not your packet!), camu camu is exceptional in many ways.
Coming from low-growing shrubs found mainly in swampy or flooded areas in Peru, it's sometimes known as the camu-berry. Its Latin name is Myrciaria Dubia. The fresh berries are orange to red coloured, and the powder is dark orange.
Rich in vitamin C
Camu-camu contains the richest and most bio-available source of vitamin-C in any plant in the world. Vitamin C in its full-spectrum natural form is more potent and useful than fragmented vitamin C.
Compared to an orange, which has about 1,000 ppm of vitamin C, the camu camu berry can have concentrations as high as 50,000 ppm. That's the equivalent of about 2 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fresh fruit.
This means that camu camu provides around 50 times more vitamin C than orange, based on weight. It's also non-acidic in flavour.
All natural
Our camu camu is 100% natural raw powdered camu berries.
Camu camu is a source of phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron, the amino acids serine, valine and leucine. Small amounts of the vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and niacin are also present.
