Superfood is the name for the category of food ingredients that are exceptionally rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds. Consequently, they have outstanding nutritional profiles and are known to offer valuable health benefits. Common examples of superfoods include camu-camu, guayusa, açaí, and maca, among others. Importantly, the reputation of these foods is closely linked to their ability to improve health and prevent diseases.
Moreover, superfoods have gained increased attention in recent decades, and South America stands out as an important origin of the world’s most prominent superfoods.
Brazil, in particular, is the producer of a broad selection of superfoods that are both popular and widely consumed within the country, as well as exported worldwide. For instance, açai is a superfood recognized internationally for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Beyond açai, other local superfood ingredients, such as cupuaçu, acerola, and cashews, are also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
At Verum Ingredients, we offer a carefully curated selection of fruit and botanical superfood ingredients from South America. Furthermore, we rely on robust supply chains for our ingredients: reliable, traceable, and sustainable.
