Organic Camu Powder

DID YOU KNOW?


Canoes, yes canoes, are the primary harvest method for camu-camu. Rarely cultivated, camu-camu is wild-harvested from the Amazon basin where it likes to grow in swampy and flooded areas. Water craft is necessary during harvest because the fruit ripens just in time to correspond with the flooding season.

Camu (ka-moo)

a berry, often called Camu Camu, that is the fruit of a low-growing shrub (Myrciaria Dubia), grown in the Amazonian rainforest.

The Super C

A small red berry, camu is indigenous to the black water river region of the Amazonian rainforest. Here, it is wild-harvested and highly appreciated for it’s nutritional attributes and medicinal qualities. Often seen as “nature’s vitamin pill,” the little camu berry is packed with more natural vitamin C than any other food on the planet. Clearly, using this superberry can bring a plethora of health to the table whether in the Amazonian rainforest or in the jungle of a city.

The Power of Camu

Camu is most famous for its mega-C content, containing 30 to 60 times more vitamin C than an orange. To further catapult this berry into superfood status, it also contains many other potent and important nutritional elements -- such as a broad range of antioxidants, phytochemicals, amino acids, as well as many vitamins and minerals like beta carotene and potassium. The powerful elements found in the camu berry have a wide range of therapeutic effects, making camu particularly effective in assisting the immune system, fighting inflammation, and serving as a strong anti-viral food. This natural, whole food form of important phytonutrients allows the body to more easily digest and utilize beneficial elements over any man-made pill or isolated form.

More Than Just a Supplement

Navitas Naturals Camu is an orange powder which has a tart berry flavor that blends well with other fruits or sweetener. Many purists enjoy a simple Camu “punch” -- just stirring a spoonful of the easily-dissolvable powder into a glass of water, and adding a touch of natural sweetener (such as palm sugar or agave nectar). Camu powder also makes a superb addition to juice, smoothies, or stirred into yogurt. Without a doubt, a spoonful of camu will give any recipe a huge boost and make your body’s day.
