The Wonders of the Huasai

Huasai is a rich source of antioxidant anthocyanins. Its composition is also very rich in chemicals, vitamins and minerals, which together with the abundance of antioxidants fulfill the function of protecting life. It also combines a broad spectrum of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

The Huasai is native to the western Amazon and is generally found in wetlands, alluvial forests and terra firma forests. In Brazil it is found from Bahia, covering the eastern Amazon. In Peru it is observed in the departments of Loreto and Ucayali.

The Benefits of Polyphenols:
One of the phytochemicals that abound in Huasai is polyphenol, a substance that protects cells against damage caused by free radicals. For example, if low-density LDL cholesterol, called bad cholesterol, is oxidized, it can adhere to the walls of the arteries and cause atherosclerosis. The following polyphenols are found in the Huasai fruit: Stigmasterol, campesterol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, flavan 3 flavonoids, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid. All of these polyphenols have the ability to neutralize oxidative damage created by free radicals. Polyphenols are strongly associated with cancer prevention, the mechanism acting by blocking enzymes required by cancer cells to promote tumor growth.
