100% Certified Organic Golden BerriesGolden berries, also known as Incan berries, are one of the lost crops of the Incas, and one of the few select foods grown at the ancient mountaintop citadel of Machu Picchu. A nutritional powerhouse, golden berries contain vitamins C and A, iron, pectin, vitamin B3, and have a mouth-watering, tangy sweetness that you'll love - and kids will too. The Sunfood DifferenceSunfood's golden berries are grown high in the Andes by indigenous farmers who have been perfecting the art of growing this fruit for centuries. Growing golden berries at just the right altitude is crucial, as the fluxuation between night and day temperatures regulates the flavor of the fruit. After harvest, the berries are gently dried at low temperatures to preserve nutrients and keep vitamins and minerals intact.

Yummy Goldenberries

Have you ever heard of a goldenberry? I hadn't until recently, when I purchased up a bag of organic, vegan goldenberries made by Golden Power from Whole Foods. On my way home, I was glancing over my receipt and noticed the bag of them was more than ! They well are not the cheapest berry I've ever purchased. I was both annoyed and intrigued.

So, what are these extra berries exactly? Well, goldenberries are apparently a "superfruit" that hail from South America. From what I've read they appear to be very wholesome - with a high vitamin A content. They are rich in bioflavonoids, which help sell out inflammation in the body. They also include a high level of vitamin A, vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin P, as well as some iron. In case you are wondering, vitamin P (sometimes known as rutin) is believed to progress the circulatory theory in expanding to helping with vitamin C absorption.

What are they like? Well, these particular golden berries from Golden Power are a lot like giant raisins, but better! They have a very potent smell, and their taste is both sweet and tart (it has the essence of orange and a bit of grapefruit). The taste was a bit surprising at first (it is strong), but after a while I found that they tasted more and more like candy. In terms of calories, a serving of 28 grams has 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein (impressive for a fruit!), and 3 grams of fiber -- so only 1 weight Watchers point!

There are tons of ways to eat goldenberries. You can eat them on their own, add them to low calorie oatmeal or low calorie cereal, concentrate them into fage yogurt, eat them with low calorie ice cream or low calorie frosty yogurt, concentrate them in a low calorie trail mix, or even sprinkle them on pancakes or make jam out of them.

Enjoy!
