Why Tepache?
Tepache is made by fermenting the skins of pineapples with brown sugar and water, and occasionally spices are added for extra flavor. This process encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, making Tepache a probiotic-rich drink. Probiotics are known for their ability to support digestive health, which is crucial for overall wellness, including the health of bones and joints.
Bone and Joint Health Benefits
- Rich in Manganese: Pineapple skins are high in manganese, a mineral that’s essential for bone formation and the maintenance of bone density. Consuming a manganese-rich diet can contribute to strong, healthy bones.
- Vitamin C: Tepache is also a good source of Vitamin C, which is vital for the formation of collagen. Collagen is a key protein in bones and connective tissues in the joints. Adequate Vitamin C intake helps maintain the integrity of your bones and reduces the risk of joint conditions.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of nutrients in pineapple, enhancing their anti-inflammatory properties. This can be particularly beneficial in reducing discomfort and stiffness associated with joint issues.
