Brazil Nut Oil Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil ORGANIC + WILD HARVEST PRODUCT SHEET Brazil Nut Oil Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil ORGANIC + WILD HARVEST PRODUCT OVERVIEW Our Brazil Nut Oil is sourced from the Madre de Dios region of Peru. They are better known as Amazon Nuts in the communities that collect them, since they grow across the rainforests of Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia. The trees grow wild and are one of the giants of the rainforest— often standing tall for hundreds of years. By sourcing our oil for your products, you give value to the bounty of these incredible forests, while also supporting the local castañeros who collect the nuts as a way to fund the teachers and supplies needed for a new school year. Brazil Nut Oil is subtle yellow in color, and has a sweet, nutty scent that makes it a great fit for personal care products. Light and easy to apply, it provides long-lasting emolliency that can be used all over the body. It possesses a high vitamin and mineral content that helps to encourage skin rejuvenation. With a melting point of 4°C, it becomes semi-solid in colder temperatures.

Planted alongside legumes to provide iron to the soil, our small producers fertilize the trees and collect the fallen cupuaçu fruits. The seeds are then separated, dried, and delivered to the Candela plant to be cold pressed into butter. Cupuaçu Butter is related to cocoa butter, and shares a similar aroma and luxurious texture. It has a nourishing fatty acid profile that provides outstanding moisture. Cupuaçu Butter has been shown to be more hydrating than lanolin, making it a great plant-based substitute. Due to its rich nutrition, it provides protection and repair benefits for both skin and hair, going so far as to make it an effective treatment for burns.

Cardboard Box Duplex of Plastic Containers 7g PRODUCT SHEET Murumuru Butter Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter ORGANIC + WILD HARVEST PRODUCT OVERVIEW Our Murumuru Butter comes from places like the Santa Teresita native community in the Ucayali region of Peru. Previously, no one bought or sold murumuru fruit in Peru. Because of our product, we can finally use the wild murumuru fruits that are sustainably collected from the ground and turn them into a new source of income for these forest communities. Candela is partnering with this community to secure the title to their land from Peru’s government—an extensive and expensive process that is essential to conserving their forest and livelihood. Murumuru butter can range in color from white to beige, and carries a nutty scent. Similar to coconut oil, but with a higher melting point, it can be used in a vast number of wonderful products for the whole body. Murumuru butter’s fatty acid profile makes it an excellent moisturizer. It is also anti-bacterial and reduces irritation, giving products that incorporate it a healing component.

  • What's in Your Tropical Fruit?1
    FSHN 07-08 What’s in Your Tropical Fruit?1 Susan S. Percival and Brooke Findley2 Florida ranked ninth in the nation for total cash receipts from fruit, with nearly 28% of this from field crops and other crops not including vegetables. Additionally, Florida’s top export is fruit; in 2003, Florida ranked second in the nation in fruit exports (3). Since the production of tropical fruits is an important part of the economy of the state, highlighting the nutritional benefits of these fruits enhances their marketability and appeal. However, the lack of comprehensive information about the nutritional properties of these foods presents a challenge. The purpose of this publication is to evaluate the current information available on the nutrient composition of Figure 1. Tropical Fruit Day (2005). tropical fruits. The nutrient information (amounts of fiber, Credits: UF/IFAS Vitamin A, Vitamin C, folate, potassium, calcium and iron) for the tropical fruits examined was compiled from the Introduction USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Fruits are abundant in nutrients, such as fiber, potas- (4, 5) (see Table 1).

According within the body.

Woolley Professor Emeritus, Brigham Young University • 1894: USDA’s first nutrition guidelines. These NUTRITION essentially were: moderation in everything, eat a variety of nutrition-rich foods, watch your portion GUIDELINES size, and avoid eating too much fat. HISTORY • 1943: USDA updated this to their “Basic 7″, which was spurred on by wartime rationing. These basic seven were: green and yellow vegetables; oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit, raw cabbage or salad greens; potatoes, fruits and vegetables; milk based products; meat and eggs; bread, flour, and cereals; and butter or margarine. • 1956: “The Basic Four”: “vegetables and fruits”, milk, meat, and “cereals and breads”. • 1992:The Food Pyramid. • Since 1980: USDA also has produced much more detailed nutrition guides than the quick-fix picture versions, • 2010: Includes exercise. However, like the food pyramid and MyPlate, they seem to be heavily influenced by various groups within the agriculture industry. AM I RECEIVING THE NUTRIENTS I NEED?

  • Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses
    «fem \J (Fft Ford & West hth London PALM TREES OF THE AMAZON AND THEIR USES. BY ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE. WITH FORTY-EIGHT PLATES, LONDON: JOHN VAN VOORST, I PATERNOSTER ROW 1853, PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS3 RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. IDiU PREFACE. 1 HE materials for this work were collected during my travels on the Amazon and its tributaries from 1848 to 1852. Though principally occupied with the varied and interesting animal productions of the country, I yet found time to examine and admire the wonders of vegetable life which everywhere abounded. In the vast forests of the Amazon valley, tropical vegetation is to be seen in all its luxuriance. Huge trees with but- tressed stems, tangled climbers of fantastic forms, and strange parasitical plants everywhere meet the admiring gaze of the naturalist fresh from the meadows and heaths of Europe. Everywhere too rise the graceful Palms, true denizens of the tropics, of which they are — IV PREFACE. the most striking and characteristic feature. In the districts which I visited they were everywhere abundant, and I soon became interested in them, from their great variety and beauty of form and the many uses to which they are applied. I first endeavoured to familiarize myself with the aspect of each species and to learn to know it by its native name; but even this was not a very easy matter, for I was often unable to see any dif- ference between trees which the Indians assured me were quite distinct, and had widely different properties and uses. More close examination, however, convinced me that external characters did exist by which every species could be separated from those most nearly allied to it, and I was soon pleased to find that I could di- stinguish one palm from another, though barely visible above the surrounding forest, almost as certainly as the natives themselves.

  • Codex General Standard for Fruit Juices and Nectars
    1 CODEX GENERAL STANDARD FOR FRUIT JUICES AND NECTARS (CODEX STAN 247-2005) 1. SCOPE This Standard applies to all products as defined in Section 2.1 below. 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 PRODUCT DEFINITION 2.1.1 Fruit Juice Fruit juice is the unfermented but fermentable liquid obtained from the edible part of sound, appropriately mature and fresh fruit or of fruit maintained in sound condition by suitable means including post harvest surface treatments applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Some juices may be processed with pips, seeds and peel, which are not usually incorporated in the juice, but some parts or components of pips, seeds and peel, which cannot be removed by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) will be acceptable. The juice is prepared by suitable processes, which maintain the essential physical, chemical, organoleptical and nutritional characteristics of the juices of the fruit from which it comes. The juice may be cloudy or clear and may have restored1 aromatic substances and volatile flavour components, all of which must be obtained by suitable physical means, and all of which must be recovered from the same kind of fruit. Pulp and cells2 obtained by suitable physical means from the same kind of fruit may be added. A single juice is obtained from one kind of fruit. A mixed juice is obtained by blending two or more juices or juices and purées, from different kinds of fruit. Fruit juice is obtained as follows: 2.1.1.1 Fruit juice directly expressed by mechanical extraction processes. 2.1.1.2 Fruit juice from concentrate by reconstituting concentrated fruit juice defined in Section 2.1.2 with potable water that meets the criteria described in Section 3.1.1(c).
