cupuacu

cupuacu our next top superfood

have you already heard of this fruit?

You are not alone if you have never heard this

incredible superfood. when I discovered this a

while back I was so excited. many superfoods

we have can be quite challenging to our

tastebuds. Many bitter or sour taste that can be

hard to get used to. Cupuacu is NOT one of

them. I would describe it as a mix of pineapple

and banana. this unique fruit can be used in

smoothies and other desserts. I have used this

many times in our cakes, tarts and makes a

beautiful sweet coconut cream and ice cream

It is a tree that grows in south america and

belongs to the cacao family. It has been used by

indigenous peoples for centuries.

NUTIRENTS

Cupuacu is extremely nutrient-dense. It is

often compared to the popular acai berry,

cupuacu has more nutrients per grams than the

berries do.

the primary beneficial ingredient is

“phytonutrient polyphenols”, theograndins

In addition, cupuacu is packed with vitamin B1,

B2, B3, both fatty and amino acids and at least

nine antioxidants. other nutrients including

calcium, selenium is found along with a high

flavanoid content.

one of the health benefit is stimulating the

immune system while simultaneously

supporting the body’s ability to fight disease. It

has an energy boosting effect like coffee but

without any side effect (aka tired feeling

afterward). it does not contain any caffein.

Other effects reported are healthier skin ahd

hair, lowered cholesterol levels and better

libido.

I am sure we don’t have to go on about how

anti oxidants are much needed. Cupuacu

contains rich array and concentration of

unique antioxidants. it is associated with

- neutralisation of free radicals

- improvement of circulateion

- lowered blood pressure

- balance cholesterol levels

- improve brain function

- anti ageing

- mental alertness

there was no way to get this amazing

product anywhere in australia. that is why I

had to import it myself. Now You can

include this too in your diet.

powdered form, which can be easily used in

many recipes
