Golden berries, also known as “Gooseberries” or “Incan Berries”, have been cultivated in South America for centuries and revered for their health benefits and mouth-puckering sweet/sour flavour. The wrinkly, thick-skinned exterior contains a seedy, chewy interior that bursts with flavour, similar to a kumquat. Unlike more common dried fruit, this superfood has nothing added to it which means you aren’t loading up on unnecessary calories and chemicals.

Giddy Yoyo Golden Berries Benefits

• May be approximately 16% protein.
• The phosphorous in these berries may maximize bone-strengthening benefits as calcium alone isn’t capable of building strong bones and tissue.
• May be an excellent source of Vitamin A, which is a fat-soluble vitamin that not only aids in keeping eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, but it’s also a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body.
• May be a potent source of the antioxidant Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is required by more than 300 metabolic functions in the body including tissue growth, adrenal gland function, healthy gums, metabolism, and more. Vitamin C may bind with toxic substances and heavy metals to render them harmless while setting them up for easy excretion.
• B vitamins may exist in Golden berries (B1, B2, B6 and B12). These complex B vitamins do a great deal to reduce stress, improve memory, improve energy, reduce fatigue, spur metabolism, relieve PMS, and reduce the risk of heart disease. They’ve even been shown to help the body burn fat.
• Golden berries may be a source of bioflavonoids which may contain antiviral, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antioxidant properties. A handful of these berries provide a hefty dose of antioxidants.
