Calabura is a fruit that, although little commented on, can be extremely beneficial to health due to its high nutritional value. Because it is rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, this fruit has an antioxidant action in our body that strengthens immunity. Additionally, it relaxes blood vessels and elevates nitric oxide levels in the bloodstream, which relieves body aches, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation.
This fruit also helps in the control and prevention of diabetes, considering that it has a set of nutrients capable of lowering blood glucose. It is important to understand that just consuming it will not solve a problem as serious as diabetes, but it can be a factor that helps in its treatment. In addition, calabura helps with bowel regulation, i.e. improves digestion, constipation, gases, heartburn, colic, stomach pains and also nausea.
The calabura tree originated in the American continent, being common in the region from Mexico to Colombia, but it has existed in Brazil for over 30 years. It is an evergreen tree that grows up to 8 meters, reaching 4 meters in just 6 months.
