ORGANIC INCA BERRIES

DESCRIPTION

POWDER presents this unique Andean treasure: organic Inca berries!

The Inca berry is the fruit of the semi-shrub Physalis peruviana L., and grows among its yellow flared flowers. The berry has an ovoid shape with a diameter of around two centimetres, and weighs between 4 and 9 grams. Its interior is juicy and has 100 to 200 small seeds (1-3).

Its appearance and internal structure is reminiscent of the cherry tomato, but with a golden-yellow colour, for this reason it’s called ‘golden berry’. But its superfood status undoubtedly stems from its exceptional nutritional properties!

Our dried whole Inca berries have a sweet and exotic flavour enhanced by a hint of bitterness. Ideal for consuming raw or in salads or in cooked dishes, they are a delicious way to ingest natural antioxidants essential to the body.

ORIGIN

Inca berries are the fruit of the plant Physalis peruviana L., which belongs to the Solanaceae family (1).

Also known as ‘uchuva’, ‘aguaymanto’, ‘goldenberry’ or ‘winter cherry’, depending on where they are consumed. Their Latin and modern names both refer to their origin, Peru, the cradle of the great pre-Columbian Inca civilisation. The upright perennial semi-shrub has grown in the Andes, a high altitude tropical zone, for centuries.

Nowadays, Inca berries are consumed all over the world, although they are mainly found in the markets of Venezuela and Chile. However, Colombia remains the world’s largest producer and exporter (2, 4, 5).

INCAN BERRIES - ORGANIC INCA BERRIES

HISTORY

After the discovery of the Americas in the 15th Century, the Spanish introduced Inca berries to the Old World, and the first settlers of the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) cultivated it as ‘cape gooseberry’ (1, 5). In Madagascar and Rwanda, the berries are still consumed dry for chronic urinary tract infections (13).

 

COMPOSITION

Inca berries are an exceptional source of nutritional properties. They contain essential amino acids (leucine, lysine and isoleucine), polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and oleic acid) and carotenes. An important source of fibre, they are rich in vitamins (A, B, C, E and K) and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and iron (5-15 times more than other fruits) (2, 4).

Inca berries are powerful antioxidants because of their high phenolic compound, carotenoid and vitamin C content. In addition, they contain phytosterols (campesterol, alpha-sitosterol) that contribute the reduction of cholesterol, withanolides and physalins, steroidal compounds with immunomodulatory properties (2, 4, 8, 9, 14).


BENEFITS

Due to their powerful antioxidant action, Inca berries have multiple healthy properties (6, 7, 10).

Inca berries are also packed with anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (fever reducing) properties (2, 4, 9).

Inca berries are rich in linoleic acid (more than 70% of their fatty acids). Their high content in this essential fatty acid from the Omega 6 series makes Inca berries a powerful cardiovascular protector (2).

USE, DIRECTIONS

Consume 10 g of Inca berries daily. Whole dried Inca berries can be added to your salads, cooked dishes, beverages, desserts, syrups and jams.

STUDIES

Various studies have demonstrated that consuming Inca berries helps to regulate postprandial glycaemia and blood pressure (11).

Various trials in which the Draize test (toxicity test) was used to confirm the anti-inflammatory activity of different concentrates of Physalis peruviana L. juice, although this was medium in comparison with some anti-inflammatory products (12).
