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.
