Supermarkets in Southern California Welcome The Healthiest Fruit Pichuberry

Albertsons stores is the newest market in the United States to enjoy the healthiest fruit Pichuberry, a nutrient-rich, antioxidant-packed berry, native to Peru and the Lost Incan Civilization. Studies show the Pichuberry contains withanolides, a rare group of antioxidants shown to reduce oxidative stress and support the immune system fight against carcinogens.

Manuel Villacorta, M.S., R.D., a nationally respected dietitian and author of two books, Peruvian Power Foods and Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Superfoods Diet, serves as a national spokesperson for the fruit, which is also featured in the books. "The Pichuberry," notes Villacorta, "is deliciously sweet when ripe, with a mildly tart finish. In terms of its nutritional and health benefits, the Pichuberry is peerless." Just 3/4 cup of pichuberries provides 39% of your daily value of Vitamin D and is also rich in other vitamins and anti-oxidants. It is high in not only protein-1.7 grams per serving (3.5oz)-but also heart-healthy fatty acids. The Pichuberry also has a remarkably low glycemic index of 25 (compared to GI of 50 for blueberries and 53 for the pomegranate) and just 65 calories per serving, making it a diabetic and weight-loss friendly fruit.

Spokesperson Manuel Villacorta will be available for print, radio, online, and TV interviews to answer questions, describe the health benefits and tell the story of the healthiest fruit. Manuel will also provide recipes and tips on how to add this delicious fruit into anyone's diet.
