Organic Camu Camu Powder

What is Organic Camu Camu Powder?

Camu camu is a small reddish-purple berry from the Amazon, traditionally harvested along the rivers of Peru. We process the fruit into a 100% pure, single-ingredient powder with a sharp, citrusy, naturally tart flavour. It is one of nature's most concentrated plant sources of vitamin C.

A natural source of vitamin C

Camu camu is naturally high in vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. The powder is also naturally low in sugar, making it an easy way to add a citrus lift to drinks and recipes.

How to use Camu Camu Powder

A little goes a long way thanks to its tartness — start with around half a teaspoon. Stir into smoothies, juices, water and wellness shots, or mix into yoghurt and overnight oats. Avoid adding to very hot liquids if you want to keep its vitamin C content high.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does camu camu taste like?

Sharp, citrusy and tart — similar to a very sour berry. It's best combined with sweeter ingredients like banana, mango or apple juice.

How much camu camu should I use?

Because it is naturally tart, a typical serving is around ½–1 teaspoon. Start small and adjust to taste.

Why is camu camu known for vitamin C?

It is one of the richest plant sources of naturally occurring vitamin C, which is why it's a popular addition to everyday wellness routines.

Can I add it to hot drinks?

You can, but vitamin C is sensitive to heat. To retain more of it, add camu camu to cold or warm — rather than boiling — drinks.

Is it vegan and gluten-free?

Yes, it's 100% camu camu, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no gluten ingredients. It is packed in an environment that also handles gluten, nuts and other allergens, so it is not suitable for those with severe allergies.
