Move over açaí - the Amazon has more 'superfoods' to offer

Brazil is introducing new Amazonian "superfoods" like Cupuaçu, Taperebá, and Bacaba rich in antioxidants and nutrients. These fruits are part of a plan to combat climate change, preserve nature, and boost local economies. Companies like Mahta are innovating by producing powdered forms of these superfoods to maintain nutritional value and economic sustainability. Initiatives like agroforestry and bioeconomy aim to create a prosperous economy while protecting the environment. The focus is on sustainable practices and local empowerment, with hopes of offering alternatives for income and promoting a healthier way of living.
