These small, acidic fruits, from the tomato family, are dried at low temperature. All the steps are carefully carried out in order to enjoy the benefits of this delicious “Inca fruit”. Properties: This berry from the Andes, highly prized by pre-Columbian peoples who integrated it into their cuisine, was abandoned after the “Spanish Conquest”. At the end of the 20th century, the enthusiasm of nutritionists and some cooks for superfoods contributed to its revival. Uses: Enjoy plain (10 to 20 per day) or mixed with other foods (fruits, cereals, vegetables). They can be integrated with as much happiness in desserts and breakfasts as in savory dishes (chutney).
