An antioxidant boost

The pit is said to contain more antioxidants than the pulp itself! These substances help neutralize free radicals, which accelerate aging.

Tip: Add a pinch of kernel powder to your smoothies, combining it with fruit rich in vitamin C (orange, kiwi), for a more energizing effect.

An ally for the heart

Some studies suggest that the fiber and polyphenols present in the grain may help regulate cholesterol.
A tasty idea – add some powder to your porridge or salads for a heart-healthy meal!

Useful tip: start with very small amounts (1/4 teaspoon), especially if you are not used to foods rich in fiber.
