Our Super Foods
All Machi products are made using the highest quality of highly nutritious African crops. Below are some of them:
BAMBARA NUTS
A false nut which is actually a legume, this hero crop was named one of the 50 foods of the future by WWF and Unilever due to it’s high nutrient profile. Bambara contains more nutrient than cow milk and contains all 9 essential amino acids which is very rare for a plant protein. This makes it perfect not just for vegans seeking complete plant protein but everyone including children and adults with allergies. When Bambara is malted (a process involving sprouting) the protein and mineral content is significantly increased as well as digestibility.
MELON SEEDS
The melon seeds are an excellent source of proteins, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. Fat found in melon seeds provide a good source of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These fats are useful in protecting against heart attack and stroke, and lowering levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.
They are also essential in the absorption of vitamins and minerals and play a huge role in the brain development and growth of children.
DATES
Dates contain several vitamins and minerals. They contain several types of antioxidants that may help prevent the development of certain chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Dates are also high in fiber, which may be beneficial for preventing constipation and controlling blood sugar.
Dates are a healthy substitute for white sugar in recipes due to their sweet taste, nutrients, fiber and antioxidants.
