If you like our goji berries, then you are going to love these scrumptious berries from South America! Once cultivated in the Incan Empire, these fully-ripe, sun-dried, wildcrafted berries are sweet, but with a flavour like a sweet & sour lemon sherbert & they're full of tiny seeds. Small & yellow/orange, the dried fruits are slightly larger than raisins. As well as being called Incan berries, they're also known as Cape Gooseberries, agauaymanto berries or Goldenberries. Locally called mullaca, uvilla, uchuva, the plant is an annual herb indigenous to many parts of the tropics, including the Amazon. It can be found on most continents in the tropics, including Africa, Asia, & the Americas. It grows up to 1 m high, bears small, cream-colored flowers, & produces small, light yellowish-orange, edible fruit. The leaves of the plant have many ethnobotanical uses around the world. The Incan berry is one of the first plants to pioneer degraded areas. Its robustness & adaptability could lead to cultivation in many now unused marginal areas. The fruit is found in markets from Venezuela to Chile, & the plants have been grown on limited scale around the world in warm climates. When growing, the berries are protected by papery husks resembling Chinese lanterns. Currently in areas where they are grown they are largely regarded as backyard fruits for children, but upscale European markets pay premium prices for them, dipping them in chocolate to decorate pastries. They make excellent jams, which are popular in India & Africa. ...

Maca is a root vegetable from Peru, & is also considered to be a medicinal herb. Maca looks like a little turnip or radish, & has been used as a traditional staple food in Peru for centuries. Maca comes under the herbal classification of being adaptogenic. Adaptogens are herbs such as ginseng that are traditionally thought to help the body to adapt to increased or ambiguous stressors. Maca is a very densely nutritious food that contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes & all the essential amino acids (so often hard to obtain from any single non-flesh food). The amino acid content of this plant gives it an average bioavailable protein content of around 14% of the entire weight of the plant. Maca certainly has an impressive array of minerals, with notably high levels of bioavailable calcium. The vast majority of people today eat food that is lower in minerals than traditional wild foods. Maca's high-mineral content can help top up your mineral stores in a tasty & enjoyable way. in addition, maca also contains trace amounts of vitamin B12 (though not enough to rely on by itself). Maca is very tasty & has a malt-like flavor; it can be eaten alone, or mixed in with other foods. ...
