Organic Apple Peel Powder from the South Okanagan, BC.

The peel is the most nutritious part of the apple. In fact, apple peel has been shown to contain up to six times the polyphenols including flavonoids as apple flesh, giving it tremendous antioxidant activity. Apples are excellent sources of fiber (about 2-3 grams per apple), which can improve bowel movements and so-called “transit time.” This apple fiber, or pectin, helps digestion because it helps turn water into a gel in the intestines, which slows down the digestive process.

Soluble fiber is known to soak up toxins so they are not reabsorbed as well as support a healthy microbiome in the gut. The pectin is largely found in the skin. The ability of apples to reduce serum total cholesterol has been attributed mainly to the fiber fraction, pectin in particular and polyphenols may also play an important role.

The polyphenols include the flavanols called proanthocyanidins and catechins. Previous studies have found polyphenols can lower total cholesterol levels, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol, inhibit LDL (“bad”) cholesterol oxidation, and block inflammatory responses in atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries—the leading cause of death worldwide.

Some benefits:

• In vitro research confirmed the apple peels modulate the inflammation response. 

• Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. 

• Reduces the risk of lung and colon cancer.

• Improves microbiota composition. That’s because pectin in apples is a fiber, which is the food source of bacteria. One study, which also used two apples a day, found that after two weeks, the two apples a day increased the numbers of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus in stool samples of the people being studied.

• Tastes great

Apple bananas dried at peak ripeness to make a sweet chewy treat. 

They are stout and plump, with a thick taut peel. As the fruit ripens, it develops a far more tropical flavor profile, with notes of pineapple and strawberry. The Apple banana has a memorable, complex scent marked by a strong tart-apple aroma.

Apple bananas contain a significant amount of potassium and fiber and are higher in vitamins C and A than common bananas.

Certified Organic Baobab from South Africa.

The Baobab, Adansonia digitata, also known as the upside down tree, and monkey bread tree, is a drought-tolerant tree common to much of sub-Saharan Africa.

It is one of the oldest trees on the planet!  It reaches heights of between 5–25 m (in rare cases 30 m) tall, and up to 7 m (in rare cases 11 m) in trunk diameter. This is a very versatile tree and the young leaves, which can either be palmate or simple, are often picked and eaten as a form of spinach. The leaves are also dried as a coarser tea cut.

The fruit is found inside hard, coconut-shaped, pods that hang upside-down from the trees. The pulp dries naturally on the tree, so there is no heat extraction, freeze-drying or pasteurization involved in the processing. Only a mechanical process is used to obtain the soft, powdery pulp. It has a unique pleasant flavor reminiscent of pear with a mild slightly acidic after taste due to its high percentage of organic acids such as citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and succinic acid.

Benefits:

• Incredible concentration vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants 
• 6 x more vitamin C than oranges (300mg/100g)
• Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) contribute to increased energy levels
• Boosts the immune system and reduce fatigue
• The vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and calcium. 2 x more calcium than milk (280 mg/100g) 6 x more potassium that bananas (150 mg/100g) 30 x more fiber than lettuce (44 g/100g)
• The high fiber content benefits the digestive and intestinal system
• 2 x more antioxidants that Goji berries (25.000 umole TE/100g). The high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity of polysaccharides can aid in inflammation reduction.
• More iron than red meat. The high content of Iron, Potassium and vital blood clotting ingredients can help support the circulatory system
• Low in sugar and fat

The nutritional profile and properties of the Baobab Pulp make it an interesting new ingredient for the food, nutraceutical, beverage and cosmetic industries. It can be used in a variety of formulations to provide nutritional fortification, flavor enhancement, viscosity, texture modification and a natural source of nutrients.

Applications/Use: Energy bars and drinks, fruit smoothies, ice creams, jams, sauces, chocolate, baked goods, yogurt. Taking it every day will supplement your recommended daily allowance of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Certified organic and wild-crafted from Peru.

The small red Camu berry is respected worldwide as “nature’s vitamin pill.” Containing a higher naturally occurring vitamin C content than any other food on the planet, Camu has long been used for its nutritional and medicinal attributes. Freeze-dried to protect the nutrient potential of this extraordinary berry.

The natural colour of the pulp of camu camu is pinkish. and this has higher vitamin C content and tastes much better than the rest of the fruit. Regular camu camu powder is made from the entire fruit (skin, pulp, and also seeds). When you make powder in the regular processing, it gets ground up and dried. The colour is brownish due to the other parts of the camu camu fruit, which has more fiber (the seeds especially), as well as exposure to oxygen and length of processing. 

It takes 25 lb Wild-Crafted Camu berries to make 1lb Powder.

Recommendations: Stir 1 tsp or more to water, juice, smoothie or yogurt with a spoon or blender. Does not require refrigeration.

Proven Health Benefits of Dates

Very Nutritious
Dates have an excellent nutrition profile.

Most of the calories in dates come from carbs. The rest are from a very small amount of protein. Despite their calories, dates contain some important vitamins and minerals in addition to a significant amount of fiber.

A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving provides the following nutrients:

• Calories: 277

• Carbs: 75 grams

• Fiber: 7 grams

• Protein: 2 grams

• Potassium: 20% of the RDI

• Magnesium: 14% of the RDI

• Copper: 18% of the RDI

• Manganese: 15% of the RDI

• Iron: 5% of the RDI

• Vitamin B6: 12% of the RDI

Dates are also high in antioxidants, which may contribute to many of their health benefits.

High in Fiber
With almost 7 grams of fiber in a 3.5-ounce serving, including dates in your diet is a great way to increase your fiber intake.

Fiber can benefit your digestive health by preventing constipation. It promotes regular bowel movements by contributing to the formation of stool.

In one study, 21 people who consumed 7 dates per day for 21 days experienced improvements in stool frequency and had a significant increase in bowel movements compared to when they did not eat dates.

Furthermore, the fiber in dates may be beneficial for blood sugar control. Fiber slows digestion and may help prevent blood sugar levels from spiking too high after eating.For this reason, dates have a low glycemic index (GI), which measures how quickly your blood sugar rises after eating a certain food.

High in Antioxidants
Antioxidants protect your cells from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that may cause harmful reactions in your body and lead to disease.

Compared to similar types of fruit, such as figs and dried plums, dates appear to have the highest antioxidant content.

Here’s an overview of the three most potent antioxidants in dates:

• Flavonoids: Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and have been studied for their potential to reduce the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and certain types of cancer.

• Carotenoids: Carotenoids are proven to promote heart health and may also reduce the risk of eye-related disorders, such as macular degeneration.

• Phenolic acid: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, phenolic acid may help lower the risk of cancer and heart disease.

May Promote Brain Health
Laboratory studies have found dates to be helpful for lowering inflammatory markers, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), in the brain. High levels of IL-6 are associated with a higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Additionally, animal studies have shown dates to be helpful for reducing the activity of amyloid beta proteins, which can form plaques in the brain.

When plaques accumulate in the brain, they may disturb communication between brain cells, which can ultimately lead to brain cell death and Alzheimer’s disease.

One animal study found that mice fed food mixed with dates had significantly better memory and learning ability, as well as less anxiety-related behaviors, compared to those that did not eat them.

The potential brain-boosting properties of dates have been attributed to their content of antioxidants known to reduce inflammation, including flavonoids.

May Promote Natural Labor
Eating these fruits throughout the last few weeks of pregnancy may promote cervical dilation and lower the need for induced labor. They may also be helpful for reducing labor time.

In one study, 69 women who consumed 6 dates per day for 4 weeks prior to their due date were 20% more likely to go into labor naturally and were in labor for significantly less time than those who did not eat them.

Another study of 154 pregnant women found that those who ate dates were much less likely to be induced compared to those who did not.

A third study found similar results in 91 pregnant women who consumed 70–76 grams of dates daily starting the 37th week of pregnancy. They were in active labor for an average of 4 fewer hours than those who did not eat dates.

The role dates may have in pregnancy is likely due to compounds that bind to oxytocin receptors and appear to mimic the effects of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a hormone that causes labor contractions during childbirth.

Additionally, dates contain tannins, which are compounds that have been shown to help facilitate contractions. They are also a good source of natural sugar and calories, which are necessary to maintain energy levels during labor.

Excellent Natural Sweetener
Dates are a source of fructose, which is a natural type of sugar found in fruit.

For this reason, dates are very sweet and also have a subtle caramel-like taste. They make a great sugar substitute in recipes due to the nutrients, fiber and antioxidants that they provide.

The best way to substitute dates for sugar is to make date paste by mixing dates with water in a blender. A rule of thumb is to replace sugar with date paste at a 1:1 ratio.

Other Potential Health Benefits
Dates have been claimed to have a few other health benefits that have not yet been extensively studied.

• Bone health: Dates contain several minerals, including phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. All of these have been studied for their potential to prevent bone-related conditions like osteoporosis.

• Blood sugar control: Dates have the potential to help due to their low glycemic index, fiber and antioxidants. Thus, eating them may benefit diabetes management.

Organic Green Banana Powder

Banana Powder is made from cooking banana, also commonly referred to as a plantain (Musa paradisiaca), although it's not a true plantain. Musa paradisiaca is a hybrid of a banana and a plantain and has the extra starch of a plantain while still maintaining some sugars for a slightly sweet taste. Musa parardisiaca is commonly used for cooking due to the reduced sweetness in flavor and is the most common plantain found in grocery stores in America.

Banana Powder is loaded with nutrients and is a great source of potassium, an essential nutrient. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and manganese. Banana powder may help support the cardiovascular system, provide energy, boost metabolism, support the liver and kidneys, and maintain healthy nervous system function.
