Fruitology

What's your favourite fruit? We all have an answer because we all instinctively like fruit. With its exquisite range of flavours, exotic smells and eye-catching colours, fruit brings pleasure to all our senses.

Another reason why we are attracted to fruit may be because of our biology. Our bodies seem to know that fruit is the perfect food to supply all of our needs. Research by anthropologists suggests that our early ancestors were not meat eaters, or even omnivores but instead their diet consisted mainly of fruit—they were frugivores!

Fruit has the highest water content of any food; contains all the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids required for optimum health; is cleansing to the body; leaves no toxic residue inside the body; and demands hardly any energy for digestion. We think our ancestors were onto a good thing!

At Jambuana we love fruit, and our aim is to research, locate and bottle the goodness of exotic fruit from around the world. The planet Earth is abundant with delicious, vitalising fruit, yet most of us tend to go no further than our familiar apples and oranges. Many of these fruits have been used for centuries in ancient cultures but are relatively unknown in the West. Many of the health benefits of these fruits are also only now starting to be validated by modern medical research.

We invite you to explore the nutritious, delicious and enchanting world of Jambuana . . .
