This one is for those of you with an insatiable sweet tooth. If sweet cravings are giving you calorie jitters, I’ve got a better option for that appetite. Golden berries!

Taste, nutrition, health – you have everything in this superfood. Let’s unravel its abundant benefits.

Delightfully Golden:

Sweet on the outside and citrusy on the inside, golden berries are part of the tomato family. So, the delicious fruit is strictly not a berry. They are native to South America, although they are available abundantly in any place where you can grow tomatoes.

This bright yellow ball of superfood offers more than your everyday fare. It contains ready-to-absorb bio-available nutrients that can promote your health the more you have it. Can’t say the same for sugary snacks, can we?

This is why Golden berries are a good substitute.

1. A Mouthful Of Calories? Not Golden Berry:

The good news is you don’t have to reduce your portion sizes with golden berries. They contain about 54 calories in a 100 gm serving, with very little sugar. They still taste deliciously sweet, mind you.

2. Eat To Lose Weight:

Eat your way to a fit body. Did I just sound like a weight loss advertiser? Doesn’t matter, as I don’t have to lie with golden berries. They come armed with the vitamin B complex spectrum, which enhances your metabolism and promotes weight loss (1).

 3. Your Personal Carb-inator:

Golden berries are your protector against harmful carbohydrates. They prevent starchy carbohydrates from breaking down into sugars and starch, thereby preventing the increase in blood sugar levels. By obstructing the enzymatic process, the fruits are essentially stabilizing your blood sugar levels.

4. Antioxidant Shield Against Diseases:

This is why golden berries are superfoods. They go beyond making you feel full. Bio-flavonoids present in the fruits have potent antioxidant properties that prevent several cancers, inflammation and promote healthy living.

The antioxidants are particularly protective of the heart, liver and kidneys (2).

5. Grants More Power To Kill Microbes:

Our immune systems work hard at keeping the harmful viruses at bay. Golden berries offer more power with their vitamin C content, in turn reinforcing the immune system. The fruits help you fight bacteria, viruses and promote wound healing as well (3).

6. Sharper Mind For Your Inner Geek:

Ok, I know you’re already very smart. But, you could definitely do with some de-stressing. That’s right! Golden berries, owing to their high Vitamin B complex content, can sharpen your memory, decrease stress and fatigue and improve energy. They also relieve PMS symptoms.

7. Those Eyes Don’t Miss A Thing:

For a healthy eyesight, simply pop in a couple of golden berries into your mouth. They contain vitamin A, available for immediate absorption. The fruits will further keep your skin and tissues healthy too.

8. Need Stronger Teeth?

Golden berries have sufficient phosphorous to help you utilize calcium optimally. This translates as stronger teeth and bones. Phosphorous, being an essential mineral, also has other vital functions in the body.

9. Now That You’re Healthy, Build Some Muscle:

Having benefited from all of its health promoting qualities, you can benefit some more by eating golden berries for their proteins. As you know, proteins contribute to muscle building. The wholesome fruit has a high percentage of proteins that make it ideal for vegetarians as a substitute for meat.

Besides, as a vegetable protein, it serves as the healthiest protein source for everyone in general.

10. Detoxification Guaranteed:

Golden berries have enough iron to bind all the toxins in the body and make them easy for excretion. The particularly rich antioxidant levels in the fruit protect the organs from toxic free radicals. Overall, detoxification is guaranteed.
