What it is: Cute as a button, camu camu comes from the Amazon rain forests in Brazil and Peru. Tangy, with hints of citrus and berry, this small, cherry-sized berry is darn delicious!
How it’s healthy: Camu camu has 30 times more vitamin C than an orange and is also high in calcium, potassium, amino acids and iron. It’s even said to help reduce stress by reducing levels of cortisol and increasing the uptake of the feel-happy neurotransmitter serotonin.
How to try it: Commonly sold in powder form here in the states in natural food markets, try it in your next smoothie!
