Golden berries are from the lost Inca crops and part of the small list of foods grown on the ancient peak of the mountain at the Machu Picchu Acropolis. These fruits have a sour taste like lemon, but their consumption is not only due to their particular flavor but also to their nutritious and beneficial properties. They are a good source of vitamin P, phosphorus, calcium, zinc and vitamin A, C, and B. They also help blood circulation, have antioxidant activity and reduce inflammation and cardiovascular disease.
They also improve the condition and appearance of the skin, bone health, and are thought to contribute to the fight against hair loss.
