Rooibos is gaining popularity as a delicious and healthy beverage. Consumed in South Africa for centuries, it has become a beloved drink around the world.
Rooibos is produced from the plant Aspalathus linearis, which is a leguminous shrub unique to the Cederberg Mountains around the town of Clanwilliam and indigenous to the Western Cape of South Africa. It forms part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, commonly known as fynbos, and grows nowhere else in the world. Rooibos contains a complex mix of many flavonoids—compounds widely found in plants known to have health benefits.
THE HEALTHY CHOICE
Rooibos is one of the best health drinks or beverages for those who care about their health and well-being. Medical science is only beginning to discover the many health advantages of rooibos.
Here are just a few of the tea’s impressive health credentials:
Low in tannins
Unlike many teas, rooibos is naturally low in harmful tannins. Tannins can interfere with iron absorption, particularly in populations of individuals with marginal iron status. These include infants and toddlers, teenage girls, pre-menopausal women, elderly men and vegetarians.
