Goldenberry A Great Antioxidant

The Goldenberry, or “tomatillo”, is a fruit grown in Peru since the fifteenth century. The Inca Empire began to gather strength and the Incas chose Goldenberry to cultivate in the gardens of the citadel, Machu Picchu.

Because of its great healing properties and its many contributions to health, Goldenberry was essential to improve and maintain the Incas physical state. Despite its diminutive size, it has great benefits and can be consumed by people of all ages. Goldenberry is a great antioxidant. It attenuates cell attrition and prevents premature aging. It is also rich in vitamins A, B and C as well as iron and phosphorus.

This little fruit also increases red blood cell production and improves the performance of cardiovascular functions. Goldenberry is also recommended for people with diabetes of all types. Drinking Goldenberry juice or extract regulates glucose levels and purifies the blood. Because of its high flavonoid content it can be used as a natural sedative. It is also an ideal agent for sore joints, to prevent sore throats and to combat the discomforts of menopause, because it increases oestrogen levels.

The Goldenberry can be quite acidic but it is so versatile that cooking connoisseurs have adapted it to use in jams, desserts and yogurts. Its healthy properties make it increasingly sought after by those looking to improve their health and fitness.
