PERUVIAN SUPERFOOD
Superfood stand out for their attributes and, especially, for the benefits they offer when consumed in their different
presentations. This value proposition may be focused on the high nutrient content of a product or its antioxidant capacity, its contribution as a source of fiber or energy or, in general, to the properties that contribute to improving health and providing well-being to people.
REASONS THAT MAKE PERU A SUPERFOOD LAND
Peru is one of the ten megadiverse countries in the world, which represents a great opportunity. Its geographical and microclimate diversity favors a great variety of superfoods to grow naturally and in abundance.
Growing superfood - like Quinoa and Maca- is a heritage from thousands of years ago. Our farmers know nature, and are experts in planting and harvesting food. Native food plants number around 787 species, which are consumed in various forms (vegetables, starch, seeds, almonds, sap, latex, fruit, roots, tubers, bulbs, bark, flowers, and oil).
Of these 107 are domesticated and exclusively cultivated; 160 are used wild, but are also cultivated; and the rest are exclusively wild. Most of the plants used as food are Amazonian (70%).
