NEW - Limited Edition - Super Berry - Summer 2023!
Inspired by science, to fuel your microbes and excite your taste buds. This kombucha is full of Live Cultures + More Polyphenols.
We've been working on something new here at Bennetts Booch HQ, and as one of our subscribers and/or customers, we wanted you to be the first to know.
Dad(Neil) has been working on this all spring and he's been flat out the last couple of months to launch on time. Its one of the best things we've done and is inspired by our collaborative work with the University of Exeter.
Good news: more polyphenols = more protection - the Polyphenol edition.
Polyphenols "are plant compounds that have potent anti-oxidant properties" (AfN Reg. Nutritionist, Tamara Bennett aka Mum) that help fuel our gut microbiome.
One of the key reasons to why they are so important is because "They offer anti-inflammatory benefits; and all of our bodies need some anti-inflammatory support because just thru our lifestyles and diets we tend to have lots of inflammation" (AfN Reg. nutritionist, Tamara Bennett aka Mum).
"Epidemiological studies and associated meta-analyses strongly suggest that long term consumption of diets rich in plant polyphenols offer protection against development of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis and neurodegenerative diseases. Here we present knowledge about the biological effects of plant polyphenols in the context of human health" (National Library of Medicine, US).
Optimising the Health Benefits of Kombucha. Natural Sciences, University of Exeter, U.K. (January 2023).
One way the students looked to optimise the polyphenol content of the kombucha was adding blackberries. This showed a higher polyphenol content and greater antioxidant capacity. "It was important to discover that these antioxidants were often retained throughout the fermentation process"
Inspired by the findings of our collaboration with the University of Exeter Natural Science Students, Head Brewer, the boochmeister aka Dad began crafting a new flavour - a kombucha inspired by science to fuel your microbes and excite your tastebuds...so Dad went on a mission to find the SUPER BERRIES!
Helen Massy (and now a Bennetts Kombucha fan!) and Julia Leadbetter wrote an article 'Which Foods are Highest in Polyphenols' for the ZOE health study under Prof. Tim Spector, Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London (and director of the Twins UK study and one of the world’s leading researchers. Author of 'The Diet Myth', focusing on nutrition and the microbiome), which reiterated what we already understood: "Berries are high in polyphenols such as anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids". And what Dad then discovered in the article was very interesting indeed....berries that are high in polyphenols:
-
elderberries: 1,191 mg per 100 g
-
blackcurrants: 560 mg per 100 g
-
blueberries: 525 mg per 100 g
-
blackberries: 248 mg per 100 g
-
strawberries: 225 mg per 100 g
-
raspberries: 126 mg per 100 g
The ZOE article is a vey interesting read.....for more insight check this link https://joinzoe.com/learn/foods-high-in-polyphenols.
Soooo that brings us to our new flavour: Super Berry!
