"Easy to Scoop and Great Raw or Cooked: In the old days, as raw foodists, we only consumed the powder raw and never cooked it. But cooking it is possible. Use for baked treats, such as cookies, or simply mix it in to your breakfast smoothie for a vitamin C boost." ~ David Wolfe

“If I had to characterize camu berries and their powder poetically, I would say camu powder is a day brightener. High vibration. Negative electron activator. Contains beautiful solar energy. Vitamin C is like the Sun. Camu is a known AntiViral against influenzas; so camu is really good for the immune system. Camu berry is another superfood I am deeply in love with. They’re so wonderful fresh and so medicinal when dried. Camu is one of my all-time favourites!” ~ David Wolfe
The Camu-Camu fruit has a surprising range of effects as measured both by traditional use and by the quantity of a variety of phytochemical compounds which experimentally have demonstrated therapeutic effects. Dr. James Duke retired chief botanist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pre-eminent New World tropical botanist, and author of many botanical books, including the popular Green Pharmacy, lists some of these effects in his Ethnobotanical website, based on amounts of various phytochemicals which Myrciaria dubia (Camu-Camu) contains. In a comparative study of hundreds of botanicals, ranked in order of effectiveness for various health conditions, Camu-Camu was ranked among hundreds of superfoods/superherbs/superfruits as follows:
Anti-mutagenic #4
Anti-viral #6
Anti-oxidant #4

Every culture has a super high vitamin C content fruit or berry in their lexicon of historically important foods. Amongst Amazonian cultures camu camu berry is that high vitamin C food.
Camu Camu berries are amazing superfruits that are said to contain more vitamin C than nearly any other botanical source; rivalled in this regard only by exotic super fruits like the Kakadu plum of Australia. Camu berries typically have 30 times more vitamin C than oranges. They also contain calcium, amino acids and antioxidants that can help aid in the body's overall health and vitality.
The Indigenous Amazonian people pick the Camu Camu berry (Myciaria dubia) in season, then dry and powder them, turning this purplish-red, cherry-like fruit to a light beige or pink color. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb, improving the bodily functions of the brain, eyes, heart, lungs, liver and skin. It is also believed to help ward off the common cold, influenza and other viral diseases, various health conditions such as asthma, edema and heart disease, support strong collagen, tendons and ligaments, decrease inflammation, and help deal with stress and anxiety.
Camu Camu Berry is a traditional superfruit prized by the native peoples of the Amazon and ultimately, sales of this product supports their traditional way of life.
