The question is, with the bemusing presence of both black and white chia seeds, what are the differences? And should we be picking one seed over the other? In a word: no. There is no nutritional difference between white and black chia seeds, though, according to the The Chia Co, theyâ??re isolated purely for consumersâ?? aesthetic preferences. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium.Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke. A 28-gram, or 1-ounce, serving of chia seeds also contains 5.6 grams of protein. Mixed with water, they can replace egg in vegan cooking. Chia seeds can be eaten cooked or raw, but they should be added to another food or soaked before eating. Chia seeds have long been associated with a reduced risk of many adverse health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality.They have been shown to support a healthy complexion, increased energy, and overall lower weight.

Camu-camu is a native Amazonian fruit mainly known for its high vitamin C content. Its composition confers high antioxidant capacity on this fruit and makes it a potential source of antioxidant products. The use of spray-drying with the aid of a carrier agent is a technique that has been applied for the preservation of important components of foods and drugs. The objective of our work was to evaluate the influence of those agents used as shell material on the vitamin content and total phenolic compounds of camu-camu powder juice obtained by spray-drying. Materials and methods. A commercial frozen camu-camu pulp was the raw material; maltodextrin and gum arabic were the selected carrier agents. Processes were performed in a mini-spray-dryer with inlet and outlet air temperatures of 180 °C and 85 °C, respectively, and a drying air flow rate of 700 L·hâ??1. Laser diffraction was used to determine the particle size distribution of the samples, and sorption isotherms of spray-dried camu-camu were measured using a static gravimetric method. Total phenolic compounds and vitamin C were determined in the raw pulp and in the powders obtained. Results. When using gum arabic and maltodextrin as the carrier agents, the moisture results obtained for the spray-dried camu-camu powders were 2.8% and 3.2%, respectively; the process yield was 84% and 72%, respectively. The spray-dried powder produced using gum arabic presented higher contents of vitamin C [(15,363 ± 226) mg·100 gâ??1] and phenolic compounds [(6,654 ± 596) mg GAE·100 gâ??1] than the powder obtained with maltodextrin, respectively (11,258 ± 298) mg·100 gâ??1 and (5,912 ± 582) mg GAE·100 gâ??1. Conclusions. The concentration factors for the vitamin C and phenolic compounds in camu-camu powder reveal the effectiveness of spray-drying to preserve the antioxidant capacity of this fruit. Gum arabic was a more effective barrier than maltodextrin for bioactive compound retention.

Its properties have been widely studied, the most important being its antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and, in fairly primary studies, antitumor, antiseptic and is also considered tonic and digestive. In folk medicine, the infusion of oregano has been used as an aid in the treatment of cough. Hippocrates used oregano as an antiseptic, as well as a cure for stomach and respiratory diseases. A Cretan oregano (O. dictamnus) is still used today in Greece as a palliative for sore throat. Oregano has a high antioxidant activity, due to a high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. In test tube studies, antimicrobial activity has also been demonstrated against strains of foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes. In traditional Austrian medicine it has been used internally (as tea) or externally (as an ointment) for the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and the nervous system.
Colchagua Valley, just south of Santiago to source the finest Chilean Prunes. When the plums are perfectly ripe they are gently shaken from the trees, they are then left to dry with a perfect backdrop in the Chilean sun, until they reach the perfect levels of moisture and sweetness. Prunes are a great source of vitamin A, a vitamin that is essential for healthy vision. One prune delivers 3 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A. People who are deficient in vitamin A are prone to night blindness, dry eyes, macular degeneration and cataracts. Tufts University in Boston ranked prunes, or dried plums, as #1 food in terms of antioxidant capacity. Prunes contain manganese, iron and plant phenolics that function as antioxidants and help protect the cell membranes from free radical damage. Prunes help the body in digesting food properly, to relieve constipation and have regular bowel movement. This is because prunes are high in fiber and sorbitol. According to Florida State University, prunes may be able to reverse osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

About Our Organic Guarana Powder Guarana is a name that has become extremely familiar in the mainstream consumer world as a caffeine substitute in an ever widening list of "energy drinks". A native evergreen sprawling shrub like vine of the Amazon region, the guarana tree produces red berries that have been used like coffee in its native Brazil for centuries. The Guarana plant is a climbing woody vine from the maple family, Sapindaceae, native to the Amazon basin and especially common in Brazil. In Brazil it is widely employed to flavour carbonated soft drinks. Guarana features large leaves and clusters of flowers, and is best known for its fruit, which is about the size of a coffee berry. Each fruit harbours one seed which contains approximately five times as much caffeine as coffee beans. Guarana Fruit When ripe the fruit partially opens and at this stage the seeds are harvested, to prevent them from falling on the ground, then roasted, dried and grounded into a powder. As with other plants producing caffeine, the high concentration of caffeine is a defensive toxin that repels pathogens from the berry and its seeds. Native Indians still consider the effects of guarana to be supernatural in nature. The seeds of the berry are dried, roasted and then brewed to make a drink that is at first bitter and slightly astringent, then sweet.

It grows in high altitudes of the Andes and has been cultivated by the Andean people for thousands of years. Maca has energizing and invigorating qualities and can be used to treat symptoms associated with anemia, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, though it is most commonly touted for its aphrodisiac qualities as it boosts fertility and libido in both men and women. Like ginseng, it is also known to improve memory and cognitive function. You can use the maca root to brew drinks or it can be ground into a powder that you can mix into smoothies or food. The root can also be baked or roasted and eaten with other food.
For the Chilean Walnut Commission quality is a priority. That is why since 2012 the technical committee has worked in a quality standard that sought to update the industry standards in line with international requirements and the processes to produce in Chile. In 2013 we launched the quality standard for walnuts in shell, shelled manually and shelled mechanically.The temperate climate of Chile’s central region, with its moderate temperatures and warm dry summers, is one of the best in the world for high quality fruit production: fresh fruit, dried fruit and especially walnuts. Chile’s geographic position in the South Hemisphere, gives an enormous advantage to the country. Chile is able to supply the foreign market with walnuts of recognized quality and freshness, during the months of the highest demand (April to December). Chilean Walnuts are considered to be the world's best.

The most common color of quinoa (pronounced KEEN-WAH) is white. White quinoa is actually a bit more tan than white, so sometimes it?s called tan quinoa, ivory quinoa, golden quinoa, yellow quinoa, blond quinoa, or just quinoa. Of all the quinoa colors, white quinoa has the most delicate taste and the lightest texture and it cooks up a bit fluffier than other types of quinoa A complete protein and fantastic wheat-free alternative, the demand for quinoa has risen sharply in recent years. Grown in South America (Peru, Chile and Bolivia) for thousands of years, quinoa formed the staple diet of the Incas and their descendants. In recent years, foodies in the UK and the US have heralded it as a superior alternative to bulgur wheat, couscous and rice. Though it often occupies a similar role to these grains in dishes, quinoa is actually a seed from the same family as beets, chard and spinach.
