Discover the Power of Anthocyanins: Unleashing Vibrant Colors and Health Benefits in Simply Hibi!
The anthocyanin level refers to the concentration or quantity of anthocyanins present in a substance or product. Anthocyanins are a type of natural pigment that gives certain plants and fruits their vibrant red, purple, or blue colors. They are also known for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. When referring to the anthocyanin level in Simply Hibi, it means that the drink contains a significantly higher amount of anthocyanins compared to other beverages like red wine, pomegranate juice, pure red grape juice, and cranberry juice.
Anthocyanin Showdown
Beyond its health benefits, Simply Hibi also supports local farmers.
We source hibiscus from small, independent farmers and growers in Uganda. By helping them cultivate a specific variety of hibiscus that thrives in their conditions, we ensure the best color and flavor in our end product. Additionally, we have trained 500 farmers in the principles of organic agriculture, empowering them to grow organically certified hibiscus. This initiative not only provides them with a guaranteed income but also enhances their ability to manage their crops and sustain their livelihoods.
The biggest challenge faced by the farmers we work with is the lack of access to markets. They are skilled farmers with fertile soils and a favorable climate, but they struggle to sell their produce. Recognizing the potential of Hibiscus sabdariffa as a crop that aligns with the smallholders' mode of operation, we have transformed it into a remarkable product for health-conscious consumers in the developed world.
