Benefits of Jamaican soursop.

Hello, my MF Products UK Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at the benefits of MF Soursop, particularly in powder form. We were really interested to find out more about such a fruit that hardly receives any recognition yet has so many proclaimed health benefits.

Soursop is a fruit that grows in tropical areas, including South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa. It’s also known as ‘graviola’ and ‘custard apple’. It has a green skin and looks somewhat like a spiky apple with white flesh and brown seeds inside that most definitely cannot be consumed. With an aroma similar to pineapple, the flavour of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberries and apple with sour citrus flavour notes, contrasting with an underlying thick and creamy texture reminiscent of banana. The flesh of the fruit consists of an edible, white pulp, some fibre, and a core of obscure black seeds. The pulp is often used to make fruit nectar, smoothies, fruit juice drinks, as well as candies, and ice cream flavourings. This is soursop in its fruit form though. In its powdered form, soursop has adopted a dark green colour which comes from the leaves.

 

Since the Nineties, Soursop has been advocated for its wide-ranging health benefits. The leaves and root are known (due to research) to boost your immune system, help soothe stomach ailments and ease hypertension. Soursop is also a powerful antioxidant and a good source of vitamin C, B1 and B2. The latter two along with magnesium help to boost your energy levels without giving you the dip that is associated with caffeine.   

MF Soursop also has anti-bacterial functions. Soursop is able to effectively kill off multiple types of bacteria, including strains that cause gingivitis, tooth decay and yeast infections. Amazing, I know right!

Another great thing about MF Soursop is that it protects the immune system. The immune system is one of the most important components of a healthy diet and fitness plan.  Adding a bit of soursop fruit or powder to your diet, either through refreshing beverages or desserts, can positively impact your overall health.  It's rich in Vitamin C which stimulates the production of white blood cells. Which is especially used in protecting your body from flu and other nasty viruses/infections.

In conclusion MF Soursop will be a great addition to your cupboard of superfoods. It's healthy and delicious and seamlessly enters food.
