Have you heard of ANTHOCYANINS? They are found naturally in a number of foods, anthocyanins are the pigments that give red, purple, and blue plants their rich coloring. Knowing that, what foods do you think would be anthocyanin rich? Let's create a list below!
Purple and blue foods, especially blackcurrants, are high in an antioxidant called anthocyanin,. In addition to helping with our blood system, this anthocyanin helps to relieve inflammation, helps manage diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels, and may help to fight cancer and assist with weight loss! A study of the Okinawan people who live longer and healthier in their senior years, contributed part of those longer years to eating the root food, purple sweet potatoes.
Anthocyanins are a type of antioxidant found in high levels in blackcurrants and have been shown to have a positive effect on muscle recovery and enhancing sport performance. Even better, because of our unique climate and growing conditions, NZ grown blackcurrants contain some of the highest levels found in the world!
