Incaberries

Incaberries are organically grown in rich volcanic soils of the high altitude regions of South America. They have been eaten by the locals as a fold medicine for centuries. The dried berry has a unique flavour that starts with a sweet palate and finishes with a fine and delicate sour note. They have a higher antioxidant capacity than many other fruits, with most of the antioxidants found in the seeds and the highest amount of fibre than all common dried fruits. They also contain a surprising amount of protein for a fruit, good levels of potassium and phosphorus, low sodium and no preservatives. Released to the Australian market in June 2011 they are currently available dried or chocolate coated.
