Organic Camu Camu Powder – supreme grade
What is camu camu?
Camu camu powder is made from the camu camu berry, Myrciaria dubia, a small Amazonian fruit renowned for having one of the highest naturally occurring vitamin C contents of any fruit in the world. Compared to an orange, camu camu contains up to 30 times more vitamin C, ten times more iron, three times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin and 50% more phosphorus. Camu camu is also rich in antioxidants and a range of bioactive compounds that contribute to its nutritional profile.
The berries grow on low shrubs along the riverbanks of the Peruvian Amazon, where they have long been eaten by local communities. Because the fresh fruit is very sour, it is most often dried and milled into a fine powder, which makes it easy to enjoy all year round.
Ingredients: 100% Camu Camu berries
Country of Origin: Peru
Botanical Name: Myrciaria dubia
Why choose our supreme grade camu camu powder?
Our supreme grade camu camu powder contains 6% vitamin C and is made from both the pulp and skin. Most other camu camu powders are only made from pulp (with far lower vitamin C content) and are sweetened with maltodextrin, don’t compromise.
Many vitamin C powders on the market are synthetic ascorbic acid. Camu camu is a whole-food alternative, so alongside its natural vitamin C you also get the fibre, antioxidants and other plant compounds found in the berry itself.

Camu camu has a tart, citrusy flavour, a little like sharp cranberry or lemon. It works well blended with sweeter fruits such as banana or mango, stirred into yoghurt or porridge, or mixed into water with a little honey. To protect the vitamin C, add it to food and drinks after cooking rather than heating it.
