Aguaje, the curvyfruit & natural Vitamin A
Native to the Amazon rainforest, where it has been cultivated and consumed long before the arrival of the first Europeans to the New World, the aguaje, also known as buriti and curvy fruit, provides great nutritional value. Despite its local popularity, Aguaje is not well-known outside of South America.
AGUAJE is RICH in:
- Beta Carotene (provitamin A, natural RETINOL) 20x than carrot.
- Vitamin E 25x more than avocado.
- Vitamin C same as an orange
- HIGH IN FIBRE
- RICH IN PHYTOESTROGENS
Did you know?
Carotenoids (particularly beta-carotene) are transformed by the body in vitamin A, essential for the production of collagen, which promote tissue regeneration, thus preventing visible skin aging, and elastin, a tissue protein critical to the elasticity and resilience of large arteries, lungs, ligaments, tendons, skin tissue, and cartilages.
Aguaje is a significant source of vitamin A (natural RETINOL), which is an antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to maintain healthy skin while protecting against vision loss. The fruits are also an excellent source of vitamin C, another antioxidant that can strengthen the immune system and large amounts of vitamin E to protect against free radicals. In addition to antioxidants, Aguaje contains phytoestrogens and oleic acids.
Additionally, aguaje provides good amounts of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), as well as adequate levels of calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese.
The moriche palm fruit also has been given the moniker of "curvy fruit," due to phytoestrogens content. Plant phytoestrogens may have ability to enhance the female figure and curves ; however, this popular claim is yet to be proven by science.
