Rooibos: Much more than an infusion
From this plant, two varieties of rooibos are produced: Green rooibos which is simply dried in the sun and Red rooibos which is oxidized. Green Rooibos is richer in antioxidants than Red Rooibos, its taste is light, sweet with vegetal notes. It is perfect for children.
Red Rooibos has notes of honey and vanilla, its more assertive taste makes it the ideal substitute for coffee.
A TREASURE OF BENEFITS
Rooibos is a powerful antioxidant, rich in mineral salts, which does not contain caffeine. It is soothing for the central nervous system and is particularly recommended for people suffering from nervous tension or sleep irregularity.
Non-irritating to the intestinal mucosa, it does not interfere with the absorption of iron and as it contains little oxalic acid, people suffering from kidney stones can consume it without restriction.
TO BE CONSUMED WITHOUT MODERATION
Rooibos has the advantage of being a zero-calorie and caffeine-free preparation, which can be used daily (recommended doses are 6 cups per day) from evening to morning without risk of insomnia and by any category of person (from the youngest to the oldest).
Rooibos can also be used in cooking as cooking water for various preparations (rice, pasta, meat, fish, etc.). It is also a natural meat tenderizer, making it the ideal choice for marinades, soups and stews. It can be consumed hot or cold and can be used as a base for cocktails by mixing it with Champagne, wine, liqueurs and fruit juices.
