The Cupuacu tree (Theobroma grandiflorum) belongs to the cacao family and thrives in the lush Amazon rainforest, growing up to 65 feet tall. Its large, melon-like fruit holds a soft, creamy pulp that has been treasured by indigenous communities for centuries as a vital food source and natural wellness staple.

You’ll want to add our Organic Cupuacu Powder to your daily routine for its natural abundance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant polyphenols. Grown in mineral-rich rainforest soils and under long equatorial daylight, Cupuacu is especially prized for its theograndins—potent antioxidants known to help the body neutralize oxidative stress and support cellular resilience in modern environments.
Our sourcing partners provide Cupuacu that’s extremely low in heavy metals and naturally high in essential minerals, thanks to the rich, untouched soil where it's grown. The fruit is gently freeze-dried to preserve its full nutrient profile and vibrant taste.
Cupuacu has a creamy, tropical flavor — a cross between coconut, pineapple, mango, banana, and chocolate, with a hint of spice. Many customers quickly find themselves enjoying it by the spoonful or blending it into smoothies and teas. With more antioxidants per gram than acai berries, Cupuacu may soon become South America’s most treasured superfruit.
Cupuacu is rapidly gaining global recognition as a true nutritional powerhouse. Long known throughout the Amazon basin as one of the most nourishing native fruits, Cupuacu is now making its way into international superfood Conversations for good reason.
Native communities have valued Cupuacu for centuries as a vital part of their daily nutrition. Now, with increasing awareness, this creamy, antioxidant-rich fruit is being recognized worldwide for its diverse nutrient profile and delicious taste. Explore the videos below to learn more about Cupuacu’s origins, and see the next section for a closer look at its health-supporting compounds.
Freeze-drying Cupuacu fruit concentrates its nutrients up to 20 times—transforming it into a potent, shelf-stable powder that’s easy to enjoy daily. Adding Cupuacu powder to your routine is both smart and satisfying. Simply stir a tablespoon into water, milk, or a smoothie, sprinkle it over your cereal, or enjoy it straight off the spoon.
Cupuacu is one of the few plants in the world that naturally contains theograndins—a unique class of sulfated polyphenols known for their antioxidant and detoxification support. These powerful compounds have been traditionally valued in rainforest cultures and are now gaining recognition in scientific literature for their nutritional significance.
Our Organic Cupuacu Powder is pesticide-free, non-GMO, and packed with naturally occurring nutrients that support daily wellness:
It’s a delicious and convenient way to nourish your body with a wide range of nutrients — all from one powerful, tropical source. Just add to any beverage or yogurt.
Cupuacu contains an exceptionally rich concentration of sulfur-containing polyphenol antioxidants known as theograndins. These unique compounds are highly regarded for their ability to support antioxidant activity, neutralize free radicals, and contribute to tissue maintenance and cellular resilience throughout the body.
Preliminary research and traditional Amazonian use suggest that these polyphenols may support digestive comfort, metabolic balance, and overall cardiovascular wellness. Their role in maintaining oxidative balance is believed to contribute to wide-ranging benefits across multiple body systems.
Because of its rare antioxidant profile, Cupuacu is often referred to by native communities as a “Pharmacy in a Fruit”—a term that reflects generations of reverence for its wellness-supporting properties. While research continues, early users worldwide are embracing Cupuacu as a delicious and natural way to support whole-body vitality.
It’s important to remember that Cupuacu doesn’t “heal” the body—your body heals itself. What makes Cupuacu extraordinary is its rich concentration of nutritional compounds, which provide the body with powerful tools it can use to restore balance, maintain resilience, and optimize function. The true miracle lies in the body’s innate intelligence—Cupuacu simply supplies the building blocks that help it do what it was designed to do, naturally.
Cupuacu has long been cherished in Amazonian culture for its wide-ranging wellness properties. While modern science is still catching up, many traditional uses and anecdotal experiences suggest that Cupuacu’s benefits come not from a single nutrient, but from its synergistic profile of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols working together to support the body’s natural vitality.
Until more clinical research is available, the potential benefits listed below should be regarded as folkloric, traditional, or user-reported in nature. They do not represent verified health claims, but rather observations passed down through generations and emerging interest worldwide.
Rishi Ternes, owner of New Earth Super Foods, left the study of medicine in Germany, came to the U.S. and turned his life over to the pursuit of nutrient dense food and seeking to understand the ability of food to transform health. He believes that “we are what we eat” and that “food should be our medicine”. Rishi owns a Super Food Cafe and Health Transformation Center in Grover Beach, California. He continues to search the world for foods that enable to the body to repair itself. As Rishi says, “the nutrients that your body needs are in the foods you aren’t eating.”
Rishi seeks out farmers and food suppliers that are progressive, meaning they are adding minerals and trace minerals to their soils, not using pesticides or GMO, and harvesting their foods at the peak of ripeness. Rishi then ensures that those foods are juiced and freeze dried immediately before nutrient loss.
Food is the way of health not vitamins!
Cupuacu aligns beautifully with what we call the “first rule of health”: that food should be our medicine. It also supports our second rule of health: that lasting wellness comes not from synthetic vitamins, but from nutrient-rich whole foods. While the United States leads the world in vitamin consumption, its overall health statistics remain among the worst in the industrialized world. This suggests a deeper truth that many are beginning to discover: real improvements in health often begin when we shift our focus away from isolated vitamin supplements and back toward nourishing foods like Cupuacu.
